Westborough, Massachusetts, USA – August 22, 2024:
KPM Analytics, a leading provider of scientific instrumentation, has introduced TheiaVu WD-300, an AI-powered at-line vision inspection system specifically designed for the meat and poultry industry. This innovative system addresses the challenges faced by processors in quality control, consistency, and labor shortages.
The TheiaVu WD-300 leverages advanced artificial intelligence to analyze product attributes quickly and accurately, eliminating the need for manual measurements and subjective assessments. It can assess key quality indicators such as product thickness, fat distribution, cook color, and detect blood spots or foreign materials.
Equipped with measuraAITM, the system allows users to train their own AI models based on their specific products, ensuring optimal performance. The TheiaVu WD-300 can also be integrated with a weighing scale or product temperature probe for a more comprehensive quality assessment.
Unlike traditional manual inspection methods, the TheiaVu WD-300 offers rapid, objective analysis of multiple product attributes in a single pass. Customers participating in beta testing have reported significant increases in inspection speed, more consistent results, and valuable data insights.
The system provides a rapid return on investment by allowing processors to inspect multiple production lines with a single at-line system. This can serve as a steppingstone for more automated in-line inspection in the future.
By using TheiaVu WD-300, processors can:
Ensure compliance with customer specifications and reduce the risk of product rejections.
Increase sampling rates and collect more representative data.
Make data-driven decisions to improve overall operations.
The TheiaVu WD-300 is designed for the harsh environments typical of meat processing plants, with a washdown-ready housing and IP69-rated touchscreen operator interface.
Jon Gilchrist, Technical Solutions Director at KPM Analytics, said, "Our system can increase sampling rates by tenfold or more while also expanding the range of measurements taken. This level of data collection and speed is simply not possible with manual inspection."
TheiaVu WD-300 empowers processors to optimize labor, improve quality control, and gain a competitive advantage in the meat and poultry industry.
