AI Assists Vision-Guided Robots in Food and Beverage Inspection
For decades, machine vision has helped robotic systems surpass limited, rote applications, enabling a wide range of pick-and-place applications across industries. One of these industries is the food and beverage industry, but the natural variability of products in this sector — especially proteins, fruits, and vegetables — presents challenges for this technology. Traditional vision-guided robotic systems perform well in food and beverage manufacturing and packaging under controlled conditions, but they struggle with irregularities in product shape, size, texture, appearance, and presentation to the operator.

Thermal Industrial Inspection is Heating Up
Falling prices, rising resolutions, better analysis algorithms, and increased operational efficiency are expanding the use of thermal imaging in industrial inspections. These innovations are leading to use cases that were not feasible three to five years ago, such as spotting defects in aluminum seals on bottles and poor welds between plastic and metal.
