Industry 4.0: examples of technological transformation
Examples of technological transformation
In today's era, Industry 4.0 has become a ubiquitous term in business and technology. But what does it really mean and how is it transforming the industrial landscape? In this article, we will explore concrete examples of Industry 4.0 and how it is revolutionising the way businesses around the world operate.
Industrial weighing: Precision and measurement efficiency
Industrial weighing is a fundamental part of food production and processing and a wide range of other industrial sectors. Accuracy and efficiency in industrial weighing are crucial to ensure the quality of the final product and to comply with safety and regulatory standards.
Traceability in the product control
It is traceability that allows us to take into account all of these variables all these variables: the origin, the history of processes, transformations, the controls it has undergone, its final destination and its its final destination and its distribution chain, among many other things.
Food traceability
Food traceability is a concept that has become increasingly relevant in recent years. In a world where concern for food quality and safety is paramount, understanding what food traceability is and the different types that exist has become essential knowledge for producers, consumers and health authorities. In this article, we will explore this crucial topic in depth and answer the most common questions, such as what is food traceability and what are the most prominent types.
Products traceability
From its definition to its importance today, we will explore every aspect of product traceability in a clear and accessible way.
RX Control
If equipment is type-approved, the operator does not have to apply for any type of authorisation for its use or have any type of personnel licence, as it is considered exempted equipment.
The importance of quality control of food
Food quality control is a critical aspect of the food industry. Ensuring that the products that reach our plates are safe and meet quality standards is essential to protect the health of consumers and maintain the reputation of companies.
X-ray inspection: beyond contaminants
Traditionally, x-ray inspection equipment has been used to detect contaminants in everything from foodstuffs to pharmaceuticals. However, the technology has evolved and is now capable of detecting much more. Some of the new uses of x-rays help in the detection of unusual shapes, missing or excess product, breakage or defects.
Tips for choosing RX inspection equipment
X-ray inspection systems are increasingly being used in the quality control of food, chemical and pharmaceutical products in order to ensure that the final product reaching the consumer is completely safe and free of foreign bodies. Many manufacturers are incorporating this type of equipment into their production lines, but what should be taken into account when choosing the right machinery?

More precise equipment is needed every day to inspect sausage meat products and to ensure consumer and brand protection.
What to value in a checkweigher?
Checkweighers are part of the quality control process of most production lines. They are responsible for verifying that the manufactured products are within the tolerances set by the manufacturer and for rejecting any products that are not within the production standard.
Regulation 21 CFR part 11
21 CFR is the policy that regulates manufacturing standards for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical industries, medical device manufacturers and food companies. Part 11 specifies criteria for ensuring the reliability of electronic records.

of the issues that most concern all governments worldwide. Therefore, each country has its own regulations to ensure certain levels of food safety for consumers.
food safety for the consumer. However, these regulations vary from state to state, and some are more permissive than others. This leads to problems in the age of globalisation, as products produced in one country may end up being marketed in a very different country.
Principles of hygienic design
Product safety and security has become a common objective of the food and pharmaceutical sector.
A robust system for reporting, preparing for and responding to potential food safety incidents is in place in the EU. This system is coordinated at EU level by the European Commission in close cooperation with national authorities and with the support of EFSA (European Food Safety Authority).
