Event Highlights in Detail
X-ray Inspection System RAYCON D+ TX

The RAYCON D+ TX X-ray inspection system sets new standards in detection accuracy with its high-resolution TDI line detector. This high-end system features integrated AI-based THiNK Technologies, enabling exceptionally precise foreign body detection—even at high production speeds. The combination of innovative hardware and intelligent software delivers unparalleled detection performance.

Introducing the RAYCON EX2: The Next Generation in X-ray Inspection
RAYCON EX2 is an ultra-compact X-ray inspection system designed for the food industry. As an entry-level model for packaged products, it offers an easy introduction to X-ray technology. Its compact design allows seamless integration into existing production lines. The Auto-Learn feature ensures rapid setup: new products are automatically calibrated in under two minutes.

INTUITY NEX: The Next Generation of Tunnel Metal Detectors
The new INTUITY NEX represents a coil concept for tunnel metal detectors with an optimized housing design that meets the highest hygiene standards and complies with IP 66/69K protection class. Combined with the new capacitive touchscreen and the intuitive Insight.HMI user interface, it offers a particularly user-friendly, future-oriented system: featuring gesture control and remote visualization. The new Quattro Simultaneous Frequency Technology with four parallel operating search frequencies and the advanced AI-based THiNK technology ensure even higher detection accuracy. When it comes to integration into existing lines, INTUITY NEX promises maximum flexibility—easily and quickly via interfaces like OPC-UA, MQTT, or REST-API. Complementing the latest detection systems, Sesotec introduces a newly developed conveyor belt concept specifically designed for hygiene-sensitive applications.

LIQUISCAN VF IC Metal Separator
With the LIQUISCAN VF IC, Sesotec offers a powerful solution for inspecting liquid and pasty products in pipelines. At interpack, the system is showcased alongside the innovative THiNK software. The AI-based analysis ensures more precise and stable foreign body detection directly during the ongoing process.

Driving the AiVolution with AI-powered THiNK Technologies
THiNK represents the evolution of traditional detection through adaptive algorithms. With AI-driven solutions from THiNK Technologies, industrial processes become smarter, safer, and more resource-efficient. These AI technologies empower customers to achieve quality and sustainability goals efficiently—data-driven, future-ready, and field-tested.
In metal detectors, THiNK virtually eliminates disruptive product effects, allowing even the smallest metal contaminants to be reliably detected. Elements like RFID tags can also be selectively ignored without compromising detection performance.

In X-ray systems, THiNK significantly enhances detection capabilities: even minimal grayscale differences, barely visible with conventional methods, are reliably identified.

Two complementary AI principles are employed:

  1. Object-Based Detection THiNK XO
    This AI model is trained on objects with specific, characteristic shapes. The system covers two application areas. It specifically identifies objects that must be present in a good product and checks if they are fully present and correctly positioned. In the second application area, the AI identifies known objects that should not be present, detecting unwanted foreign bodies or contaminants that have been previously trained.
  2. Anomaly-Based Detection THiNK XA
    Here, the AI learns the “ideal” product and automatically detects deviations. This allows for the identification of hard-to-define defects—such as deformations, material deviations, or the finest foreign bodies like plastic, bone, or cartilage.

The result: enhanced product safety, significantly fewer false rejects, and a sustainable reduction in product recalls.
