Stamping out Cross-Contamination in Food Manufacturing
THE CHALLENGE
- In food manufacturing, cross-contamination and mispackaging, especially with allergenic ingredients, pose severe risks to consumer safety and the reputation of the brand.
- Tracking different ingredients through receiving, pre-batch, mixing and packing stages is complex.
TECHNOLOGY USED
- visionTrack including Computer Vision and Machine Learning
- Any camera
- Object detection
THE SOLUTION
visionTrack is designed to help manufacturers use any camera to passively monitor activities on the factory floor. By monitoring the movement of people and ingredients throughout the manufacturing process, it enables real-time tracking of risk areas, ensuring proactive prevention of cross-contamination.
BUSINESS OBJECTIVE
Food manufacturers require a method of accurately tracking ingredients throughout receiving, pre-batch, mixing and packing stages to reduce errors and remove risk to both company and consumer.
THE RESULT
The AI tool offers a comprehensive view of the entire production process, enabling quicker identification and rectification of quality issues. This eliminates the need for manual checks at every stage of the process – facilitating a more compliant and efficient operation.
