Temperature monitoring of food without interrupting the packaging process

In the food industry, temperature control is one of the most critical factors in ensuring both quality and food safety. Whether it’s fresh vegetables, dairy products, or ready-to-eat meals, incorrect temperatures can lead to spoilage, loss of nutritional value, and in the worst-case scenario, health risks for consumers.

The Challenge: Measuring Without Interruptions

Traditionally, temperature control in food production is often done manually or through random sampling. This means removing products from the line, measuring them, and then taking action if needed. It’s a process that not only takes time, but also comes with risks — such as contamination, human error, and delays in the packaging process.

For many modern food producers, this approach is no longer viable. There is a growing demand for continuous, reliable, and fast temperature monitoring — without disrupting the production line.

The Solution: Smart, Contactless Over-the-Line Measurement

Heliovision develops solutions where cameras and sensors are installed above the production line. These systems measure the temperature of each individual product in real-time — without physical contact and without interrupting packaging.

Using infrared technology, temperature deviations are instantly detected, allowing operators to intervene before issues arise.

The Benefits at a Glance

✅Continuous quality control throughout the entire process ✅ No downtime or production line interruptions ✅ Lower risk of contamination ✅ Reduced waste thanks to early error detection ✅ Fewer manual checks = more efficient use of personnel

Real-World Example

In one of our projects, we detect temperature deviations in packaged food — fully automatically, and without slowing down the line. If a deviation is found, the product is pushed off the line before it can cause a problem.

Want to know how your production line can become more efficient and safer with Heliovision’s temperature control solutions? Feel free to reach out.
