The perfect tasting cherry tomatoes – Hyperspectral imaging for real-time food taste inspection

Strelen Control Systems GmbH uses a hyperspectral camera from the Finnish manufacturer Specim to check nuts before processed in the food industry. High-precision nozzles shoot faulty parts and foreign bodies out of the process in flight. There is only a little time left for reliable image processing.

Inndeo, a Spanish company founded in 2016, uses Specim’s hyperspectral imaging technology to improve the quality inspection processes and increase automation in the food industry. With hyperspectral imaging, they can detect contamination and defects in the production lines and characterize different food quality parameters.

Airtight packages preserve the product’s freshness, improve quality and prevent leaks.
