“The Seal-Sensor PQX is a plug and play system for pouch seal quality testing”, commented, Noba Ebaid, Global Manager for Automation & Strategic Partners for PTI. “This easy to install system features a small footprint, with full screen HMI to display test result data as pouches are scanned. Inspection rates range up to 350 mm/sec. A rapid linear scan of the pouch seal provides immediate seal check/verification of seal quality inline at high outputs. Test result data is produced in seconds.

What is EnhanceAI?

At its core, EnhanceAI is the fusion of augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) tailored for the medical equipment sector.

With a focus on enhancing user engagement, it turns any space into an interactive showroom, enabling medical professionals to project virtual 3D models of medical equipment into their environment, through a smartphone.

The visualization technology is paired with an Intelligent AI Concierge, that answers queries in real-time, mimicking a knowledgeable sales representative.

It’s a no brainer. The new Tommies vegetable bucket is five grams lighter than the old bucket. This new bucket from innovative vegetable grower Greenco will be sold some six million times this year. Six million times five grams equals thirty thousand kilos less plastic. But the real advancement is that only recycled plastic is used for the new packaging bucket. 100% recycling means that a staggering amount of plastic will no longer be in circulation.

Retain raw materials

 India gets its first 100% recycled PET (rPET) water bottle through Coca-Cola India. The food-grade rPET for the Kinley brand water bottles is produced by Srichakra Polyplast on a Starlinger PET bottle-to-bottle recycling line. 

“We are proud to supply the rPET resin for India’s first beverage bottle made from 100% rPET,” says Ravindra PV, managing director at Srichakra Polyplast. 

Gat Foods, global supplier of advanced fruit-based solutions for the beverage and cereals industries, has chosen two distinct packaging options from Berry Global to provide absolute freezer safety for its range of high-quality fruit juice concentrates.

Gat Foods required container sizes of 21 litres for the business-to-business market and 280 millilitres for the consumer market. Berry’s 21L SuperCube container and 280ml custom version of its UniPak container were ideal, due to both packs’ robust design that ensures product protection and integrity throughout the supply chain.

In homogeneous products such as jam, they can still be easily detected on X-ray images using conventional image processing: Tiny foreign bodies such as glass splinters, stones or pieces of wire. The situation is different when they are hidden in structured products – for example in porridge or loosely packed almonds. In order to identify them reliably even in such a difficult environment and to distinguish them clearly from product structures and inhomogeneities an AI for X-ray image analysis which is capable of deep learning is already required.
