Product safety is the most sensitive subject in the food industry. In Europe alone there are about 3,000 recalls due to soiled or incorrectly labeled products every year. This is a time-consuming and costly situation for manufacturers involving by far more than just a logistical effort. Consumer confidence must be retained or regained and the brand image protected from possible damage.
Inspection systems help manufacturers to prevent such a situation from happening in the first place. Digital solutions by Bizerba offer 100 % product reliability and complete tracking. Only food of perfect quality is supplied to the market: Free from foreign bodies, hygienically packaged, labeled with ideally positioned labels containing the right information which is easy to read.
What do inspection systems do?
They detect products that do not meet the standard (quality or safety wise).
