3D Laser Profile Sensors for Food and Beverage: Reliable Inspection of Volume, Height and Shape
Geometric Product Inspection with Changing Formats and Recipes
In the food and beverage industry, product safety, consistent quality and high process speed are paramount. Products such as baked goods, meat products, packaging, bottles or trays must be inspected inline in a hygienic and contactless way and without disrupting the production flow.
This is exactly where 3D laser profile sensors from AT Sensors are used. Robust 3D measurement systems enable inspection directly in the running production process, independent of product variants, surface structures or changing ambient conditions. Typical applications in the food and beverage industry include volume, height and shape inspection of baked goods, completeness checks of filled packaging, monitoring of portioning and cutting processes, and quality inspection of bottles, cups and trays.
The result is reproducible measurement results, less scrap, and standards compliant quality control.

Food Branding
Instead of printing the barcode on the packaging, it can also be laser-engraved directly onto the skin of fruits or vegetables. This saves packaging costs and is environmentally friendly. However, to ensure that the skin is not damaged in the process, the laser’s focus must be precise despite the varying sizes of individual fruits. The CS 2040 3D sensor from AT assists with this. -
Can Check
When a beverage can fizzes perfectly, it’s much more than just coincidence—it’s high-tech at top speed. A look at one of the fastest quality control systems in the beverage industry shows how AT Sensors and EVT Eye Vision Technology have jointly developed a 3D inspection solution that reliably checks millions of cans per day worldwide. -
