Discover how end‑to‑end machine vision overcomes real‑world food production challenges to deliver reliable, high‑speed inspection and automation.
About the event
End‑to‑End Machine Vision for Food Inspection and Automation
From inconsistent lighting on the production floor to missed defects at high line speeds, food inspection systems face real-world constraints that standard imaging setups can’t handle.
What You’ll Learn
Explore how machine vision supports reliable, end‑to‑end inspection across the food production chain—from agriculture and raw material handling to inspection, sorting, packaging, and storage. Through real-world case studies, we’ll show how industrial cameras help system designers overcome environmental challenges, boost inspection accuracy, and maintain high throughput in demanding food processing environments.
Key Takeaways
-Understand common imaging challenges across food production workflows
-Learn how industrial cameras enable reliable inspection in harsh environments
-See practical examples of improved defect detection and throughput
-Apply machine vision strategies to real food inspection applications
Who Should Attend
System designers, engineers, and technical professionals working on automation, inspection, or quality control in food and agricultural processing.

Intelligent Ultra-Compact Hyperspectral Imaging Systems for Targeted Quality Monitoring in Agriculture and Food Processing
Presented by Dr. Henrich Engelke Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS, Cognitive Systems, Scientific Research Associate
Hyperspectral imaging is a powerful tool for quality monitoring in agriculture and food processing, but conventional systems require extensive data acquisition and processing, limiting real-time applicability. This webinar introduces a novel approach that combines AI- based analysis of an initial RGB image with targeted spectral measurements at relevant regions of interest (ROI).
By replacing full image cube analysis with selective measurements enabled by MEMS-based beam steering, data volume and system complexity are significantly reduced while maintaining essential material information. A compact demonstrator system is presented, along with selected application examples highlighting the practical benefits of the approach.
