Quality Inspection

Foreign Object Detection in Food Processing Lines

How AI-powered vision systems from Boolean & Beyond detect foreign objects, contaminants, and physical hazards in food processing with 99.5% accuracy.

The Problem: Invisible Contaminants Slipping Through

  • Metal, glass, and plastic fragments escape visual inspection
  • X-ray machines miss low-density foreign objects
  • Manual inspection can only check 2-5% of production volume
  • Recalls cost ₹5-50 crore per incident plus brand damage
  • FSSAI compliance requires documented inspection protocols

Hidden Costs of Contamination Events

  • Product recalls averaging ₹15 crore per major incident
  • Legal liability and consumer lawsuits
  • Retailer delisting and lost shelf space
  • Insurance premium increases of 30-50%
  • Brand reputation damage affecting sales for 2-3 years

How Boolean & Beyond Helps You Achieve This

  • We design multi-spectral imaging systems that detect objects invisible to human eye
  • Our engineers build real-time inspection pipelines handling 500+ items per minute
  • We train custom AI models that learn your specific contaminant types
  • We integrate with your reject mechanisms for automatic removal
  • We implement complete traceability and compliance documentation

Frequently Asked Questions

Which company can help implement AI foreign object detection for food industry in India?

Boolean & Beyond helps food manufacturers implement AI-powered foreign object detection by designing and deploying custom vision systems tailored to your production line. We work with your team to integrate multi-spectral imaging that detects metal, glass, plastic, and organic contaminants with 99.5% accuracy.

How accurate is AI vision inspection for detecting contaminants in food?

With Boolean & Beyond's implementation approach, clients typically achieve 99.5% detection accuracy for foreign objects - significantly higher than manual inspection (60-70%) or traditional X-ray systems (85-90%). We train the AI on your specific product types and contamination risks for optimal performance.

What is the cost of implementing automated food inspection systems?

Boolean & Beyond's custom AI inspection implementations typically range from ₹15-40 lakhs depending on line speed, detection requirements, and integration complexity. We provide end-to-end service including hardware selection, AI model development, integration, and training. Most clients see ROI within 8-12 months.

Can AI detect foreign objects that X-ray machines miss?

Yes, Boolean & Beyond builds multi-spectral AI vision systems that detect low-density contaminants like wood, rubber, insects, and certain plastics that X-ray machines miss. We combine visible light, infrared, and UV imaging based on your specific contamination challenges.

How does AI food inspection help with FSSAI compliance?

Boolean & Beyond implements automated documentation, inspection logs, and traceability reporting as part of every food inspection solution. We ensure your system meets FSSAI requirements with audit-ready records including timestamps, images, and pass/fail status for every inspected item.
