INNOVATIVE SOFTWARE FOR SEAMLESS AND EFFICIENT DOCUMENTATION


Directive-compliant production in the
food industry

Food safety knows no compromise. Our software for seamless and efficient documentation in food production – consisting of the functions Audit-Check, Sensitivity Prediction, Compliance Mode, Integrated Compliance Monitoring, and Integrated Validation Process – is available for the VARICON+ IC, the LIQUISCAN VF IC, the RAYCON D+ HX as well as RAYCON D+ HX LW.


Food safety is a key aspect of the global food industry. Delivery of defective products may cause unpleasant consequences for the manufacturer. It can lead to expensive recalls or recourse claims and have a negative impact on the company‘s image.

We would like to relieve you of this concern and support you in finding the best possible approach to ensure food safety. Our Sesotec high-end devices detect quickly and reliably a wide variety of foreign bodies in food.

But that’s not all: Some of our new devices also feature the Compliance Package, the innovative software for seamless and efficient documentation which guarantees the production of foodstuffs in compliance with the guidelines.


Audit-Check

Quality assurance 4.0: With the help of a process wizard, the Audit-Check leads through the audit routine and logs all steps.


Sensitivity Prediction

The sensitivity prediction enables an automatic determination of the detection sensitivity of various foreign bodies.


Compliance Mode

In Compliance Mode, the sensitivity can be set to factory or audit standards at the push of a button to produce compliantly and, at the same time, to reduce the false rejection rate.


Integrated Compliance Monitoring (ICM)

Integrated Compliance Monitoring controls the detection capability of the inspection system. This continuous, internal control of detection requirements leads to immediate detection of deviations and increases the stability of the production process.


Integrated Validation Process (IVP)

The Integrated Validation Process (IVP) is a documentation tool and yields proof that the desired quality objectives for the respective product have been achieved.

Your worries...

For you, as a food manufacturer, product quality is a top priority. In addition, you are required by law to comply with a whole range of food standards.

It is a big responsibility, as the slightest mistake would not only cost you dearly, but also damage your image considerably.

Product recalls, claims for damages and consumer losses are just some of the possible consequences of faulty products.


 


...our solution!

We would like to make sure that you sleep peacefully at night and with our Sesotec Compliance Package, we have developed an all-round carefree system for food safety.

 

With this we guarantee you not only a rule-compliant production of foodstuffs, but also that you will benefit from process reliability during the introduction of new products, knowing that your machines are always working flawlessly and reduce product waste. Moreover, thanks to the paperless documentation in the machine you are optimally protected from tampering.


The functions of the Compliance Package:

Quality assurance 4.0: With the help of a process wizard, the Audit-Check leads through the audit routine and logs all steps. This continuous quality monitoring is of enormous importance, especially for food producers and processors, to ensure consistently high product quality.



The 3 steps of the Audit-Check

1. Request

The prompt to perform the Audit-Check appears on the display of the control unit. The frequency of these checks can be set manually.

  • Hourly
  • Daily
  • Interval
  • Product counter
  • Product change


2. Audit Check

The test bodies must be promoted as shown in the dialog box. Material type, diameter and the maximum permissible signal strength can be selected and adjusted manually.


3. Result

The results of the individual test bodies and the result of the test are transferred to the logbook and stored.



The sensitivity prediction is automatically updated after each teach-in process. After changes of sensitivity-dependent parameters, it is calculated and enables an automatic determination of the detection sensitivity of various foreign bodies.

Sensitivities forecast during X-ray inspection



The „Sensitivity Prediction“ enables automatic determination of the detection sensitivity of stainless steel and glass during an X-ray inspection. The test cards with 100 test bodies made of glass and stainless steel are available in all sizes and stored in the software. This information is calculated along with the product‘s gray value image as if a product with a test body were being recorded. All information on detection sensitivity is calculated from these generated images and displayed in a graph.


Prediction of metal detection sensitivities



After the teach-in process, the software automatically gives the most suitable Inspection Level (IL) with associated sensitivities for ferrous, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals. The IL with the predicted sensitivities that most reliably meet customer requirements can then be selected.


Advantages for the customer

  • Instant overview of the sensitivity level
  • Simple adjustment with the required detection sensitivity
  • Enormous time savings during the teach-in process
  • Easy determination of the best inspection level for the product to be inspected


In Compliance Mode, the sensitivity can be set to factory or audit standards at the push of a button to produce compliantly and, at the same time, to reduce the false rejection rate. Process stability is thus constantly maintained.



Reduction of false reject rate (F.R.R.) & minimization of good material loss:

In compliance mode, the X-ray unit adjusts the software filters accordingly during the teachin process in order to reliably detect the specified test specimens.
The metal detector, in turn, adjusts the trigger level of the set product to reliably detect the specified test specimens.

Advantages for the customer

  • Compliance with the food safety standards
  • Savings in labor, packaging and product waste
  • Increase in production efficiency
  • Display of the predicted power and conformity values with simple verification
  • For X-ray inspection systems: less relearning for difficult product


Integrated Compliance Monitoring controls the detection capability of the inspection system. This continuous, internal control of detection requirements leads to immediate detection of deviations and increases the stability of the production process.


Advantages for the customer

  • Compliance with food safety standards
  • Savings in working time, packaging and product waste
  • Increase in production efficiency
  • Increase in product quality
  • Reduces the risk of inadequate quality controls and records


Functionality in metal detection

  • The detector is controlled by an internal test signal, which is tuned to the product during the learning process.
  • For easy and quick verification, the predicted power as well as the conformity values are displayed.
  • As soon as the received information does not match the specific requirements, the system issues an error or warning message, depending on the configuration.

Functionality during X-ray inspection

  • The initial sensitivities are calculated directly after the autotrain process and saved.
  • The current sensitivity for stainless steel and glass are continuously and automatically checked after a fixed time interval.
  • The sensitivity limits can be set manually.
  • If the limit values are exceeded, there will be an error or warning message.

The Integrated Validation Process (IVP) is a documentation tool and yields proof that the desired quality objectives for the respective product have been achieved. The goal or result of the Integrated Validation process is a Sesotec-created certificate with the validation results.


Advantages for the customer

  • Consistent validation
  • Automatic creation of a backup of all settings in order to be able to restore the device to the state of validation
  • Records in the metal detector
  • Setting realistic testing standards and ensuring compliance
  • Reliable reporting data
  • The user automatically receives a notification for the next validation, eliminating the need to apply stickers that wash off
  • The certificate can be saved in PDF format on a USB stick

*The customer can independently validate new products menu-driven and receives a "Report of Validation", which, however, does not replace the validation certificate for the annual audit by an external service provider (manufacturer).

Service offer

For all other existing installations (of the type G+, Primus+, GO, Intuity) our service offers the Manufacturer‘s Validation as a service. The service includes the preparation of the annual validation certificate and of a maintenance report. Among other things, a repeat test of the probability
of detection (P.O.D.) is carried out at the most unfavorable point of the metal detector using the specified test bodies.

Customer benefits:

  • Performance of the retest including evaluation and documentation
  • Determination of the limit value to provide further security for the customer during daily routine testing
