Transforming Food Safety and Quality with Industry-Leading Light-Based Technologies

Ensuring Freshness, Safety, and Efficiency in Every Step of Production

Driving Food and Beverage Excellence With Photonics

Maintaining product safety, quality, and operational efficiency is critical in food and beverage production. Issues such as inconsistent portioning, inaccurate fill levels, and contamination risks not only impact yield but also pose serious threats to regulatory compliance and brand reputation potentially resulting in costly waste or recalls.

Exaktera provides advanced LED and laser-based inspection, sorting, and verification solutions designed to meet the stringent demands of the food industry. Our technologies feature hygienic design principles aligned with EHEDG standards and are supported by extensive application expertise in addressing complex production challenges.

Exaktera empowers food and beverage manufacturers to enhance accuracy, ensure product integrity, and uphold the highest levels of safety delivering consistent, high-quality results with confidence and efficiency.

Key Segments in the Food and Beverage Market

Food and Moisture Measurement

LED- and laser-based systems analyze moisture content to ensure consistent product quality in grains, baked goods, and raw materials.
Laser technologies optimize portion control for consistent weights and reduced waste.

Optical Sorting and Defect Inspection

LED- and laser-based high-speed sorting systems identify blemishes, bruises, or foreign objects in fruits, vegetables, and processed foods.

Laser- and LED-guided grading improves accuracy in sorting meat, seafood, and produce by size, quality, and composition.

Bottling and Packaging Quality Control

Fill-Level Inspection — Maintains consistent fill volumes in beverages and viscous products.
Cap Alignment and Seal Integrity — Verifies that caps and seals on bottles and jars are correctly aligned to prevent leaks or contamination.
Glass Defect Inspection — Detects cracks, chips, and imperfections in glass bottles and packaging to prevent product recalls.

Meat and Seafood Processing

Defect Inspection — Detects bone fragments, discoloration, abrasions, and abnormal tissue in meat and poultry processing.
Fat Content Analysis — Measures the muscle-to-fat ratio (marbling) to determine meat quality and grading.
Parasite Detection — Identifies foreign organisms in fish and seafood before packaging.

Produce Sorting and Safety

Foreign Object Detection — Pinpoints insects, worms, and foreign materials in fruits and vegetables.
Size and Quality Grading — Ensures uniform sorting based on ripeness, weight, and color consistency.
Hygienic Designs — Reliable, protective camera enclosures and accessories for machine vision systems in virtually any environment.
