Abstract
Purpose - Review of the most recent innovations in sensor technology for better quality in packaging. Checking for container seals, damaged product, contaminates as well as tracking product to meet government requirements.Design/methodology/approach - In-depth interviews with both the exhibitors and integrators of sensors at the recent PackExpo showFindings - Sensor technology continues to address an ever increasing number of packaging applications including quality, safety, product tracking, correct labeling as well as counting, weighing and other more traditional applicationsPractical implications - Sensor technology advances with greater use of x-ray, magnetic detection, remote chemical monitoring that are addressing an ever increasing number of packaging applications including quality, safety as well as counting, weighing and other more traditional applicationsOriginality/value - Customers will learn about the latest in x-ray, magnetic sensing, as well as the application of vision, weighing and counting technologies for improved products as they pass through the packaging phase of production.
