Mito - 3D X-ray Inspection System for Food Safety and Quality
The Solution to ensure Complete Food Safety and Quality.
Mito, the only 3D X-ray food inspection system on the market
The Effective Solution for Safe Food of Highest Quality
People working in the complex chain of food production must ensure safe and high-quality products to prevent risks to consumers. To do this, food manufacturers incorporate an in-line inspection device in their production lines.
But a metal detector does not detect non-metallic contaminants. And a conventional 2D X-ray device does not guarantee sufficient reliability and accuracy in detecting foreign bodies that occur at an unfavorable angle to the X-ray source.
We at BIOMETiC have always invested in research and development to find the best and most innovative solutions for the needs of the food industry. This is why we developed Mito, the unique 3D X-ray food inspection system with artificial intelligence: A single solution to verify the safety and quality charatersitics of food products, customizable according to the company’s needs.

The Difference between a Conventional X-ray Device and Mito
Mito is the first and only X-ray inspection system with 3D reconstruction technology on the market – a computed tomograph that scans food in-line in the shortest possible time. This 3D X-ray food inspection system is BIOMETiC’s answer to food quality and safety issues in the food industry.
Compared to conventional 2D X-ray inspection solutions, Mito’s patented 3D X-ray technology offers significant advantages in executing food safety and quality checks in-line. This results in fewer errors and waste, avoiding financial losses and complaints, and protecting the health of your consumers and your brand reputation.
In fact, Mito’s 360-degree 3D X-ray scanning technology captures and recreates in detail the shape, the internal and external quality and safety characteristics, and the packaging of food products.

Possible Applications in the Food Industry
CHOOSE YOUR APPLICATION
Each food, like each sector of the food industry, has its own specific characteristics. That’s why the real added value of Mito, an in-line 3D X-ray inspection system, is the fact that it is versatile and customizable.
Thanks to its sophisticated self-reconstruction software, food manufacturers can perform scanning and processing at very high speed and high definition detecting so any foreign bodies or food quality defects.

Possible Scan Results
Born from BIOMETiC’s over 40 years of experience in building in-line inspection systems, Mito is the 3D X-ray inspection device specifically designed for the food industry and its needs – from protecting brand reputation to eliminating waste for optimized production.
Here are some examples of problems Mito has solved for different food industries:
- Bakery: Controlling the dosage and balanced distribution of ingredients to ensure a uniform product, such as the distribution of the filling in a croissant
- Cheese and Dairy: Recognition of foreign bodies of different nature, such as a food jar with glass fragments or metal fragments
- Sweets and Confectionery: Verification of the number of products by counting individual products within a package, such as the number of chocolates in a gift box
- Cannery: Analysis of product surfaces and inspection of package seals to ensure a fresh product with unchanged properties, such as the presence of vacuum in a jar
- Meat and Fish: Detection of bone fragments inside meat and bones inside fish
- Frozen Products and Ready Meals: Ejection of defective, damaged, or deformed products from the production line to expel, e.g., instant noodles cups with missing kit components and/or foreign bodies
- Snacks: Control of product dosage to avoid waste and ensure a premium product, such as the number of dried fruits in a package

The best solution for in-line product inspection
Why our Customers choose Mito
We know that every industry and every company is unique and has different needs.
For this reason, BIOMETiC’s real added value lies in adapting solutions to your specific inspection needs as food manufacturer with multiple possibilities for food safety and quality inspections.
That’s why our customers have come to rely on Mito’s technology:
Increases product safety and quality
Compared to a conventional X-ray inspection solution, Mito’s significant advantage is that it provides stricter food safety and quality controls with fewer errors and waste by adapting mathematical algorithms based on the scanned product. It evaluates punctual density, not just average density, identifying defective, damaged, or deformed packages and products.
Adaptable to the products and the needs of the manufacturer
Mito grows with the needs of the company. It can be adapted to the products to be analyzed and your inspection needs as a food manufacturer.
Ensures significant savings
With Mito, you can calculate the exact quantities of raw materials to be used to optimize savings. As long as the right amount of product in a package and/or processing materials (such as the amount of filling in a croissant or the filling level of yogurt) is ensured in the production process, this translates into significant savings.
Protects brand reputation and optimizes production
Mito can achieve these results as a single system. But by integrating it with the comprehensive food traceability solution F-Trace, the manufacturer can optimize the entire production flow and achieve maximum production efficiency across the whole line.
Verifies food with high-resolution images in total safety
To obtain better images, Mito uses a more powerful X-ray source than conventional X-ray inspection systems. Still, the radiation to which an operator is exposed, even if they were working 8 hours a day in close contact with Mito, is below the international limit for annual radiation exposure set at 1 mSv per year (mSv/y) by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP).
Simple and intuitive to use
Mito does not require calibration. It is easily integrated into any production line and has a user-friendly interface that makes its operation faster and more intuitive for the operator. Training is given when the machine is installed. In case, later on, training is needed for other operators, an extra training package on Mito can be added at any time.
It can be used in any industrial production line
Mito can be installed and operated in an existing industrial food production line. It is equipped with an internal sealed shielding for X-rays that guarantees total safety in the use of the system by the operators.
