BIOMETiC’s Mito is a Unique System for Ready Meals and Frozen Foods as it performs not only Food Safety Inspection but also Quality Control.
BIOMETiC’s solution to keeping up with consumers’ demands for food safety and quality is Mito, the 3D X-ray inspection solution for the food industry.
Pizza, pasta, meat, and fish – frozen products and ready meals that can be heated in the oven or microwave are becoming increasingly popular among consumers. To protect their trust and simultaneously also your brand reputation, it is crucial to provide safe products of the highest quality.
Implementing Mito not only helps meet market demands regarding safety and quality, but it also optimizes the production process. This leads to increased efficiency, reduced waste and maximized output.
Checking for proper ingredient distribution is just one the challenges frozen food and ready meal companies face every day. It could be tortellini with a missing filling, a pre-fried vegetable stick with a poorly attached topping, or a frozen pizza with missing ingredients.
Assessing all aspects of product food quality to the best of your ability leads to satisfied consumers and a stronger brand image. And in the frozen food and ready meals industry, where consumer expectations are very high, it is essential to offer a top-quality product at an optimized selling price. In fact, it doesn’t take much to be forced to deal with a series of complaints from dissatisfied customers.
The main cause for which frozen products and ready meals suffer complaints are foreign objects. Some of the most common include metal, plastic, glass, and stone fragments. The introduction of physical contaminants into ready meals and frozen products has multiple causes that can be traced primarily to the complex preparation and packaging processes, the many ingredients and products required for preparation, and the quality of the raw materials. For frozen products and ready meals, contaminants are even more worrying because they are often consumed directly from the package. Needless to say, a recall of the distributed product is necessary.
To prevent consumers from the risk of injuries, which can lead to suffocation, the producer must be sure that frozen products and packaged ready meals are free from any physical contaminant. The distribution of a product containing contaminants causes financial losses for the recall of the contaminated product already distributed, image damage for the brand, and subsequent difficulties in marketing the brand’s products with large-scale distribution and consumers.
By integrating Mito, Biometic’s X-ray inspection system with three-dimensional scanning technology and artificial intelligence, into your line, you will be able to identify foreign bodies and determine the quality of your products.
Compared to a conventional X-ray inspection device, Mito performs internal and external food analysis with the non-destructive investigation. It analyzes the internal structures and components of the product without altering its characteristics. And that’s not the only reason why many food manufacturers choose Mito. Biometic’s three-dimensional X-ray scanning technology provides more accurate and stringent in-line safety and quality checks with fewer errors and waste than traditional X-ray inspection systems.
For example, Mito helps producers of frozen products and ready meals by detecting bags of frozen chicken nuggets contaminated with foreign bodies such as plastic pieces or bones, but also tortellini with missing filling and packages of pre-fried and frozen products with missing pieces.
Thanks to real-time 3D scanning technology, Mito not only allows you to guarantee your customers safe, foreign body-free frozen products and ready meals, but also high quality:
