KPM Analytics has significantly expanded its manufacturing facilities for vision inspection systems, opening a state-of-the-art operation in Trento, Italy. This move aims to address the rising demand from baking and snack food producers seeking enhanced quality control and food safety solutions.

The 22,000-square-foot facility, located in Pergine Valsugana, Italy, more than doubles the company's production capacity for its EyePro System product brand, which includes systems like the Q-Bake In-Line Vision Inspection System and the TheiaVu E-Series At-Line Vision Measurement System. These systems are crucial for detecting and monitoring product quality and safety attributes such as color, shape, size, topping and foreign material contamination on high-speed production lines.

In addition to manufacturing, the site will serve as a hub for factory acceptance testing, customer training and hands-on demonstrations. It also features dedicated facilities for developing advanced hardware and software applications, including hyperspectral imaging and AI model development for foreign material detection.

"The facility expansion is a direct response to the growing needs of our customers who are under increasing pressure to meet rigorous quality standards," Andrea Bertuolo, KPM Analytics' general manager for Vision Inspection Technologies, said in the release. "With the extra capacity, we are better prepared to improve our production throughput to meet their evolving demands."
