In this video, Plan Automation COO Mat Bedard outlines how food companies are using Plan’s unique X-ray Reclaim service to inspect suspect production of having foreign contaminants. Take a quick tour of the new 15,000 square foot facility in Bolton, ON as it receives steady shipments of product for inspection and reclaim.
Mat Bedard shows us two types of product reclaim detection services. First, full shipper cases with multiple packages of baked goods move through a large aperture x-ray machine in search of a metal bolt hidden in one of the shipper cases. Watch as Mat “finds the needle in the haystack”, which allows the customer to isolate the one offending shipper case, saving the customer over $500,000 as the remaining shipper cases are rescued and reclaimed for distribution. In a second instance, Mat demonstrates how a customer who suspected fine metal shavings in some product was able, through our package by package X-Ray analysis, to find the 6 contaminants that were as small as 0.3 mm. Once again the remaining production run was saved.
The advantage we supply our clients is security in knowing that we can find the proverbial needle in the haystack, and make sure a missing nut, bolt, metal shaving, piece of glass or stone will never make it to the customer.
“Last year, over 200 customers diverted more than 5 million pounds of food from landfills with a value of over $10 million”, as explained by Plan Automation’s Scott Holmes.
PLAN Automation’s reclaim service is available when needed and can also be combined as part of your Quality Control Program, a proactive approach to product safety.
Don’t needlessly send food and other products to landfill. Please watch the video and see how you can save time, money, production, and the environment.
