The company needed an <strong>advanced and automated solution<\/strong> capable of inspecting each can with millimetric precision and in real time. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution: Implementation of the Varpe X-ray inspection system for bone detection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a detailed technical analysis, the <strong>Varpe Control de Peso<\/strong> team proposed the implementation of an <strong>X-ray inspection system<\/strong> specifically designed for <strong>high-demand food production environments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system allows the analysis of the internal content of tuna cans, detecting <strong>bones, hard fragments, or foreign objects of different densities<\/strong> without affecting the production rate.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to its <strong>advanced image analysis and adaptive calibration software<\/strong>, the system offers:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Detection of bones, bone remains, and metallic or calcareous fragments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identification of physical contaminants even in dense or compact products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatic recording of images and traceability reports per batch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Direct integration with line control and quality management systems (ERP\/MES).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, Varpe&#8217;s X-ray technology complies with <strong>European food safety regulations<\/strong>, guaranteeing a reliable, hygienic, and fully automated inspection environment.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Results: Total control, reduction of incidents, and improvement of final product quality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The implementation of the Varpe X-ray system in the canned tuna production line allowed the client to achieve highly satisfactory results from the first weeks:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Total elimination of bones and foreign objects not previously detected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inspection of 100% of the cans in real time without slowing down production.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Statistical control and complete traceability of each inspected batch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>15% increase in the overall efficiency (OEE) of the line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved consumer confidence and reduction of claims.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system not only improved the safety and quality of the final product, but also reinforced the <strong>manufacturer&#8217;s brand image<\/strong>, by offering an <strong>additional guarantee of food safety<\/strong> in an increasingly demanding market.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion: Varpe, innovation in inspection for the canning industry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The implementation of the <strong>Varpe X-ray system<\/strong> demonstrated how <strong>advanced inspection technology<\/strong> can be adapted to the particularities of the <strong>sector conservero<\/strong>, offering a precise, reliable, and cost-effective solution for the <strong>detection of bones in tuna cans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This case reflects the commitment of <strong>Varpe Control de Peso<\/strong> to <strong>innovation, food safety, and industrial efficiency<\/strong>, consolidating its position as a <strong>referente tecnol\u00f3gico en inspecci\u00f3n y control de calidad para la industria de las conservas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2705  <strong>Do you want to optimize quality control in your canning line?
