Glass breakage in food and beverage production is a serious safety concern. A single missed crack can lead to recalls, consumer injury claims, and reputation damage. Traditional visual inspection at line speeds of 800+ bottles per minute is impossible for human inspectors.
How AI vision solves this
Our system combines polarised imaging, high-speed cameras, and Retina AI deep learning to detect glass cracks, chips, and stress fractures invisible to conventional 2D vision systems. Each bottle is inspected from multiple angles in milliseconds.
Defect types handled
- Hairline cracks — invisible to human eye at production speed
- Chipping — rim, shoulder, and base damage
- Stress fractures — detected before propagation
- Contamination — foreign particles inside sealed containers
- Fill level variations — simultaneous with defect checks
Industries served
Beverage bottlers (wine, spirits, beer, soft drinks), pharmaceutical glass (vials, ampoules, bottles), cosmetic glass packaging, and food jars. Our systems integrate directly with existing conveyor and rejection systems.
