Enhancing Food Sorting Efficiency with KUSTA Hyperspectral Camera Technology

8 Apr 2025

In the ever-evolving food industry, precision and efficiency are paramount—especially when it comes to food sorting. This week, we’re proud to deliver a complete KUSTA System designed specifically for an advanced food sorting application, helping our client achieve greater control over product quality and consistency.

The solution includes our industry-leading KUSTA hyperspectral camera, a high-performance illumination unit, a robust mounting bridge, and other essential components engineered for seamless system integration.

Why Hyperspectral Imaging Matters in Food Sorting

Traditional machine vision systems rely on standard RGB cameras, which capture only visible light. However, hyperspectral cameras detect a broad range of wavelengths beyond the visible spectrum, capturing detailed spectral information from each pixel in an image.

This allows for:

  • Precise material identification
  • Detection of foreign objects
  • Sorting based on chemical composition
  • Improved quality assurance

In food processing, this means identifying subtle differences in texture, ripeness, moisture content, or contamination that would be invisible to standard cameras.

Our KUSTA hyperspectral solution enables non-destructive, real-time food sorting, increasing throughput while reducing waste—a critical win for both sustainability and profitability.

Field-Proven Performance and Customer Trust

This recent deployment underscores the trust our clients place in us to deliver cutting-edge vision systems tailored to their operational needs. From R&D to production, every KUSTA unit is rigorously tested to meet the demanding standards of food industry environments.

We take pride in not only delivering high-performance hyperspectral technology but also in collaborating closely with our customers to ensure optimal integration and long-term success.

A Thank You to Our Team and Partners

This project would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our engineering and support teams. Their expertise ensures every component—from sensor calibration to illumination uniformity—is finely tuned for real-world applications.

We’re also grateful to our customers for their continued trust. Their commitment to innovation in food sorting inspires us to push the boundaries of what’s possible with hyperspectral imaging.
