Understanding Hyperspectral Imaging: Choosing the Right System

When evaluating vision systems for foreign material detection in your meat processing plant you’re bound to find different solutions making similar claims. Learning how hyperspectral imaging works will help you understand why all vision technologies can’t accurately claim to offer the same strengths and capabilities.

Smarter Food Inspection Starts Here

See more.

Hyperspectral imaging assesses the chemistry of products as they pass by at line speed. It isn’t reliant on density, color contrast or size to find foreign materials.

Analyze more.

Machine learning algorithms and AI analyze vast amounts of chemistry data and make instantaneous decisions to reject contaminated or low-quality products. This helps PPO clients rely less on manual inspection and provide consistent products.

Evaluate more.

Automatically measure fat and lean to maximize blends for a more consistent yield, without adding another piece of equipment.

Learn more.

The system continually learns and optimizes performance. Bonus: PPO Insights keeps track of incidents to provide a detailed view of what’s happening throughout your production process.
