AI-Based Quality Control in the Food and Beverage Industry

Maddox AI optimizes and automates a wide range of optical quality control tasks and visual inspections using AI in the food and beverage industry.

In the food and beverage industry, Maddox AI detects damage and contamination while operating at maximum production speeds. Our automated quality assurance software ensures automatic cataloging of relevant data for complete traceability, supporting product quality and safety while providing valuable insights for continuous process improvements.

Companies in the food and beverage industry are under

increasing cost pressure while also facing high quality standards

False Rejects Lead to Unnecessary Costs

When defect-free products are mistakenly rejected, scrap rates and production costs increase, significantly affecting overall production efficiency.

Customer Complaints Increase Workload and Strain Relationships

Even low-cost products must meet the highest quality standards. Defective deliveries can lead to complaints that, in the worst case, jeopardize customer relationships.

Traditional Camera Systems Often Fail

Traditional inspection systems in the food industry struggle, as natural products never look 100% identical. This production variability leads to increased maintenance efforts, false rejects, and, in the worst case, customer complaints.

“Our end customers expect premium quality. Maddox AI helps us ensure that no defective or incorrect products are delivered.”
