The “All-in-One” series is aimed to combine multiple inspection controls with a single machine to meet different quality requirements, such as compliance with regulations, the integrity of containers, verification of the presence of micro leaks, contaminants, weight control, verification of the label and the requirements (expiration date, lot code).
A new paradigm opens up enabling innovation in quality inspection for Food, thanks to the matching between the need for multiple in-line controls with space optimization and production organization. With one machine installed on each production line, it is now possible to meet the different quality requirements that see the use of different technologies.
The first All-in-One models feature a single machine, the possibility of combining various basic inspections required by the regulations, as well as innovative applications enabling:
- Check the presence of micro-holes in the packaging
- Check for the presence of foreign bodies
- Check the weight of the product
- Check the seal
- Check label and code
Reduced dimensions (the dimensions are similar to those of a checkweigher), a single user interface that allows to check what happens for every single inspection, differentiated waste and automatic recipe setting are further immediate advantages of all All-In-One solutions, to which is added the reduced energy consumption.
All “All-In-One” solutions, as well as all stand-alone solutions, can be integrated into the Antares Vision Group’s Digital Factory software platform, where, by connecting the machines, it is possible to monitor efficiency and optimize production. Furthermore, from the group’s expertise, it is possible to integrate the results and attributes deriving from inspection checks into the traceability of the product along the supply chain, to ensure transparency and safety in all stages of the supply chain.

“All-In-One represents a revolutionary approach in in-line quality control in Food – explains Matteo Bandini, Food and Packaging Director Antares Vision Group Food -, because they provide the possibility of inserting in a single machine all the quality controls necessary to satisfy the safety and quality demands of the several stakeholders, from distribution to the end-user. From now on, our customers will only have to think about which inspections are necessary to ensure quality and safety for the consumer and no longer how many machines to put online because only one, from the Antares Vision Group All-In-One series, will be enough “.
