HEUFT canLine II

HEUFT reflexx A.I. is now even smarter! A newly integrated deep learning algorithm goes into greater depth during the X-ray image analysis – and makes dangerous foreign bodies detectable even where they could not previously be recognized. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used in HEUFT inspection systems for over ten years to ensure reliable detection, smart multidimensional evaluation and reliable classification of a wide variety of objects in the food filling and packaging process. In the case of disordered structured products such as gherkins or red cabbage in food jars, machine learning is not always sufficient to identify dangerous foreign objects such as glass splinters in particular and distinguish them from harmless product components and inhomogeneities. The latest version of the in-house developed hardware and software for intelligent X-ray image processing, which is now available for foreign object detectors in the current HEUFT eXaminer II series, changes this: with a new deep learning algorithm, HEUFT reflexx A.I. makes previously invisible objects visible even in places where this was previously not possible: in inhomogeneous product masses with irregular structures and cavities between their individual components with different levels of absorption.

HEUFT eXaminer II XS

Smart sidewall inspection When detecting foreign objects in simple food packaging with the space-saving HEUFT eXaminer II XS multi-layered neural networks for X-ray image processing and optimized pulsed X-rays open up new perspectives. The result: full coverage and detection and rejection reliability that goes even deeper.The lean turnkey solution for pulsed X-ray inspection of food cans, doypacks, squeeze bottles, stand-up pouches or carton packaging achieves full detection accuracy in the tightest of spaces: dangerous high-density foreign bodies such as metal particles or hard plastic fragments in the product are identified gently and precisely. The modular system can be flexibly equipped with one or two sidewall X-ray flash units. This ensures that the inspection always covers the entire filling volume and, together with the new deep detection during X-ray image processing with HEUFT reflexx A.I., increases the precision of the foreign object detection. The deep learning algorithm based on multi-layered neural networks now even makes visible what was difficult or impossible to detect even with HEUFT eXaminer II systems until recently: the ring-shaped wire in the ring-shaped pasta and similar inconspicuous foreign objects in foodstuffs with special structures which absorb the X-ray impulses to varying degrees.

HEUFT PRIMEwith pakCheck technology

With new pakCheck technology, the HEUFT PRIME examines freshly filled beverage cartons and detects more than just leakages. This will be presented for the first time at drinktec stand B4 121/321. Unbreakable, opaque, extremely light, simple to stack, transport and store and increasingly recyclable: beverage cartons that have been steam-cleaned and hot-filled have many advantages! Even when not cooled, liquid contents such as fruit juice or UHT milk remain fresh and edible for a long time. Provided, they are stable and leakproof. The new pakCheck technology for the HEUFT PRIME full container check examines this and more immediately after the block-shaped cardboard composite packaging has been filled – contactlessly, with clever sensor technology and intelligent optics!

HEUFT ONE

Affordable, space-saving and flexible: the extremely compact entry-level devices of the new HEUFT ONE series set standards in terms of detection accuracy, operational reliability and price / performance ratio when checking full containers in a confined space. The network-compatible complete solution fits into even the smallest installation space due to combined detection and evaluation modules (e.g. for a precise fill level, closure and label check directly on the conveyor) which are connected to a space-saving, freely positionable control unit.
