KPM Analytics Launches OEM Division to Integrate Vision Inspection Technology Directly into Food Production Equipment
KPM Analytics has launched a new OEM business division to directly integrate its advanced vision inspection and AI-driven foreign material detection technologies into food processing equipment, enhancing quality control and operational efficiency for manufacturers worldwide.
KPM Analytics, a global leader in food manufacturing quality and process control solutions, has announced the launch of a new Original Equipment Manufacturer business division. The division will specialize in directly integrating KPM's advanced vision inspection and foreign material detection technologies, including AI-driven applications, into food production equipment. This strategic shift represents a significant development for food equipment manufacturers seeking to enhance their offerings with integrated quality control systems.
Through its product brands EyePro System, Sightline Process Control, and Smart Vision Works, KPM brings over 50 years of combined expertise in vision inspection technology and 17 years in AI model development for food applications. The company has previously partnered with several leading food production equipment manufacturers, machine integrators, and engineering firms to integrate vision inspection capabilities. The new OEM division formalizes this approach, creating a one-stop source for food brands seeking to strengthen process control through embedded inspection technology.
Andrea Bertuolo, KPM's Managing Director for Vision Inspection Systems, stated that by embedding inspection systems into OEM equipment, the company helps manufacturers deliver tools that add immediate value for processors. KPM's automated vision inspection solutions help food processors identify surface and structural defects, monitor product uniformity, and ensure compliance with customer specifications. The technology ranges from product-counting applications for packaging lines to complex quality inspection and foreign material detection systems with integrated rejection capabilities.
Brian Mitchell, KPM's Chief Executive Officer, emphasized that as food manufacturers face mounting demands for quality assurance, operational efficiency, food safety, and transparency, the new OEM division aims to make vision-based inspection technologies more accessible than ever. The division gives equipment manufacturers and integrators a direct pathway to incorporate KPM's vision inspection expertise into their designs. KPM's industry-trusted machine learning and proprietary imaging technologies have built a legacy in helping world-renowned food brands manage quality and safety throughout their operations.
The new OEM business division actively seeks partnerships within the baking, meat and poultry, confectionery, and root crop industries to integrate high-performance inspection systems seamlessly into production lines worldwide. For food production equipment manufacturers, embedding KPM's vision inspection technology in equipment designs creates valuable applications to monitor performance and product consistency, alert personnel, or automatically rectify mechanical errors before they cause waste or production downtime. Engineering firms can include KPM in their supplier portfolio when designing new production plants, while machine integrators can offer KPM's vision inspection technology as a value-added service to provide customers with complete, data-driven processing solutions from a single supplier. KPM will demonstrate its vision inspection equipment at the International Baking Industry Expo 2025 in Las Vegas, inviting OEMs to visit Booth #535 to discuss integration opportunities.
