Food and feed analytics
Digitised manufacturing and industry technologies, which are also called Industry 4.0 technologies, are now increasingly used in modern food processing and agriculture to ensure seamless harvest control and process monitoring. LLA’s NIR and VIS hyperspectral cameras are easy to integrate into an Industry 4.0 environment and offer numerous applications for non-contact and spatial resolution analysis of food and plants. Real-time analysis results are then used for seamless quality assurance or sorting applications. We present some of our applications in detail below.

Online monitoring of fruit and vegetables
Suitable hyperspectral cameras: KUSTA1.7MSI or uniSPEC0.9HSI_s in combination with software module idFuit/ idVegetable
- Foreign object detection: plant fibres, wood, paper, plastic, rocks/soil and insects
- Maturity analysis
- Pressure mark detection
- Production control, e.g., cutting processes
- Special applications according to customer specifications for quality classification in terms of nutrient and water content as well as colouration
All applications are also available in combination with the ProScanHSI system as part of an at-line quality assurance system.
