Sesotec at interpack 2026

Sesotec empowers food manufacturers with comprehensive inspection solutions to detect risks early, maintain stable processes, and ensure the highest quality and safety standards—anytime, anywhere in production. At the heart of our trade show presence and nearly 20 exhibits is the showcase of the next-generation INTUITY NEX tunnel metal detectors, featuring an enhanced software interface and conveyor integration. We’re also expanding the RAYCON family with the high-end RAYCON D+ TX and the entry-level RAYCON EX2, alongside the advancement of AI-driven THiNK Technologies for metal detection and X-ray inspection. With the launch of the Insight.360 connectivity and visualization solution, Sesotec once again demonstrates how engineering, production control, and user-centric design come together for unparalleled control over production lines.

At interpack, Sesotec presents systems for foreign body detection and product inspection across a wide range of applications—from agricultural raw materials to processed foods and packaged products.

Our portfolio includes:

• X-ray inspection systems

• Metal detectors and separators

• Magnetic systems

• AI-based THiNK Technologies

• Software solutions

• Comprehensive lifecycle services—and beyond.

Together, these technologies create an integrated safety concept that supports food manufacturers in implementing modern quality and safety strategies.

RAYCON EX2 is an ultra-compact X-ray inspection system designed for the food industry. As an entry-level model for packaged products, it offers an easy introduction to X-ray technology. Its compact design allows seamless integration into existing production lines. The Auto-Learn feature ensures rapid setup: new products are automatically calibrated in under two minutes.

THiNK represents the evolution of traditional detection through adaptive algorithms. With AI-driven solutions from THiNK Technologies, industrial processes become smarter, safer, and more resource-efficient. These AI technologies empower customers to achieve quality and sustainability goals efficiently—data-driven, future-ready, and field-tested.

In metal detectors, THiNK virtually eliminates disruptive product effects, allowing even the smallest metal contaminants to be reliably detected. Elements like RFID tags can also be selectively ignored without compromising detection performance.

In X-ray systems, THiNK significantly enhances detection capabilities: even minimal grayscale differences, barely visible with conventional methods, are reliably identified.

Two complementary AI principles are employed:

1. Object-Based Detection THiNK XO
   This AI model is trained on objects with specific, characteristic shapes. The system covers two application areas. It specifically identifies objects that must be present in a good product and checks if they are fully present and correctly positioned. In the second application area, the AI identifies known objects that should not be present, detecting unwanted foreign bodies or contaminants that have been previously trained.

2. Anomaly-Based Detection THiNK XA
   Here, the AI learns the "ideal" product and automatically detects deviations. This allows for the identification of hard-to-define defects—such as deformations, material deviations, or the finest foreign bodies like plastic, bone, or cartilage.

The result: Enhanced product safety, significantly fewer false rejects, and a sustainable reduction in product recalls.

Food safety allows no compromises. True to its trade fair motto, Sesotec focuses on solutions centered around users and customers. The Compliance Package is software designed for seamless and efficient documentation in food production, ensuring guideline-compliant operations while minimizing manual effort. 

The software package comprises five components, some patented by Sesotec:

• Audit-Check (Process assistant for audit routines including documentation)

• Sensitivity Prediction (Automatic determination of detection sensitivity for various foreign bodies after learning phase or significant setting changes)

• Compliance Mode (Audit standards at the push of a button with reduced false reject rate)

• Integrated Compliance Monitoring (ICM: Continuous self-monitoring of the inspection system's detection capability)

• Integrated Validation Process (IVP: Sesotec certificate with validation results as proof of meeting quality objectives)

In addition to inspection systems, Sesotec showcases its extensive service portfolio at interpack. This includes commissioning and validation, maintenance contracts, and calibrations, as well as cutting-edge remote service solutions. Digital services, smart monitoring tools, and rapid spare parts availability ensure maximum system uptime and long-term investment security. Sesotec supports its customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their systems with solutions that enhance device performance year after year. 

Throughout the entire exhibition, experienced Sesotec experts will be available at Stand D40 for personal consultations. With their extensive industry and application knowledge, they collaborate with visitors to develop tailored solutions for effective foreign body management—customized to the product, process, and production environment.

“At interpack 2026, we demonstrate how modern foreign body management works across the entire food chain—from raw materials to the finished product. Our technologies ensure food safety is guaranteed anytime and anywhere, from farm to table”, says Christoph Hänle, Head of Sales Food at Sesotec.

With a clear focus on Food Safety is our Passion. Anytime and Anywhere. Sesotec showcases at interpack 2026 how intelligent inspection systems and AI-based software solutions can make a significant contribution to greater safety, efficiency, and sustainability in the food industry.
