Presented by P&P Optica, Produced by Meatingplace

Most processors experience some foreign material incidents in their plants and are searching for solutions to reduce that to zero. Recognizing that a multiple hurdle approach to inspection is crucial in preventing foreign materials incidents, processors are finding current technologies are experiencing challenges in finding low density materials (like plastics, rubber, cardboard, wood) that are common in plants, leaving them vulnerable. New technologies are reviewed with an emphasis on multi-hurdle approaches. Our experts take a close look at hyperspectral imaging and how it is delivering better inspection outcomes and producing higher-quality products. They will share the most current technology and information whether a processor is considering a multi-hurdle approach to inspection or wish to learn more about further utilizing visual inspection and, how they can get closer to the goal of zero foreign materials.Click here to view
