Introducing THiNK Technology for AI-Powered Metal Detectors and X-Ray Systems

Sesotec is advancing the integration of Artificial Intelligence in foreign body detection, now offering THiNK technology for X-ray inspection systems in addition to its proven application in metal detection. The goal is to enhance detection accuracy in challenging production environments and make processes more stable and efficient.

Food manufacturers face the challenge of reliably detecting foreign bodies—whether in products with high or variable product effects or in anomalies visible to the naked eye that differ only slightly in density from the flawless product. Traditional inspection systems often reach their limits here. THiNK technologies address this issue with AI-powered detection models that adapt to changing product characteristics.

AI-Powered Metal Detection: Unmatched Process Stability and Precision

AI-powered metal detectors learn from product signals, recognize patterns, and adapt to new situations. This reduces false alarms, enhances detection performance, and boosts productivity. Typical applications include meat and sausage products in metallic packaging or products with strong inherent conductivity (product effect).

AI-Powered X-Ray Inspection: A Deeper Look Inside Your Product

A key focus is the integration of artificial intelligence in X-ray inspection systems. While traditional systems rely on contrast values, the AI model additionally analyzes typical characteristics of good products. This enables a more nuanced evaluation and improved differentiation between acceptable deviations and actual contaminants.

This technology is particularly useful for detecting hard-to-spot foreign bodies like bone fragments, cartilage, and plastic parts, such as cable ties. Even with low-density or heterogeneous products—like fresh meat or cheese—the system delivers reliable results. Thanks to its adaptive structure, the AI can be further optimized during operation without disrupting the production flow.

Enhance Safety and Efficiency in Everyday Production

For food manufacturers, leveraging AI-based inspection offers an extra layer of assurance for meeting regulatory requirements and quality standards. At the same time, it enables more precise process control, reduces material waste, and prevents downtime.
