Cameras for quality control and production

Food manufacturers are constantly challenged by rising food quality requirements and faster-than-ever production procedures. Modern cameras now provide extensive support for food preparation and quality assurance. They ensure consistent food quality and excellent efficiency in the manufacturing process.

Basler cameras are ideally suited to a wide range of applications in the food business. Among their characteristics are:

  • Expansive dynamic range
  • Frame rates are high.
  • A fantastic price-to-performance ratio

 

Typical Application Areas and Cameras

 

Inspection of food

The testing of geometrics, the testing for foreign objects, the testing of the packaging, as well as the analysis of the food quality and freshness, are all areas where cameras are used in food inspection.
