«If the product is what the consumer buys, the packaging is the“ cladding ”with which the industry proposes and delivers it, as well as being a powerful means of communication to inform and retain customers. This is why it is necessary for companies to be able to count on tools capable of ensuring total quality - container and content - and “without compromises”».

Hyperspectral inspection to intercept small cartilaginous bones in fillet of sole.

Antonio D’Isep has no doubts about this, over 30 years of experience in quality control, in presenting the hyperspectral vision technologies and X-Ray Multienergy which, at the state of the art, guarantee a further and significant step forward in the systems for the quality check.

Intercepting “invisible” contaminants
The presence of foreign bodies in processed foods is a serious danger to the health of consumers and at the same time represents a huge problem for food companies forced, in the case of contamination, to withdraw them from the market.
«To avoid these risks and to reach an incontestable quality - D’Isep explains - the inspection systems based on hyperspectral and X-Ray multi-energy vision technologies allow the detection di all possible contaminants, these being of low density foreign bodies (such as wood, light plastic, insects, fragments of non-calcified bone or cartilage), obviously undetectable with metal detectors but even with conventional X-ray solutions».

Certain information without errors
Ensuring the accuracy of the information transmitted to the customer through the packaging of the product it is another aspect of fundamental importance for the operators, more and more aware of the economic and image damage that could derive from a possible error.
«The answer to this specific need for clarity and precision - continues D’Isep - lies, for example, in the use of the Text Verification Tool® (TVT) software, a graphical and textual verification instrument.
This sotware is designed in response to the needs of the most rigidly regulated sectors, such as the pharmaceutical and medical devices sectors, but today also evermore in demand and used in the food sector; it simplifies the correction process, and guarantees that only approved content is printed or published.
In addition, the HD Barcode proprietary coding system is a powerful communication tool, which allows you to generate a simple 2D code capable of containing 170 times more information than a normal Datamatrix or QR Code. It is ideal, for example, for anti-counterfeiting and traceability systems, but also for warning of allergens in products with alerts available on a customizable App».
