Food and Beverage Applications
Optimize Your Manufacturing Processes
Our goal at In-Position Technologies is to help you succeed in your food and beverage applications. The Food & Beverage Industry benefits greatly by optimizing their food and beverage applications with automatic machine vision and barcode reading systems for measuring, inspecting, and traceability. Robotic arms and mobile robots also enhance packaging and palletizing food and beverage applications to reduce operating costs and increase overall efficiency. By implementing these advanced technologies, your food and beverage applications achieve new levels of success and operational excellence.
Machine Vision
2D or 3D Vision inspects parts and performs other quality checks and traceability tasks. 2D Machine vision Smart Cameras and processors automate part inspection and quality control. Datalogic offers Gig-E and smart cameras, vision sensors, and vision processors.
Laser Line Profilers detect height differences to reveal seal integrity. Smart Cameras measure fill levels, detect cap presence, and confirm when caps are completely screwed down.
Traceability
Tracking and tracing products as they flow through your facility and out to customers allows you to improve quality and protect your company by limiting product liability and avoiding or limiting recalls. For some products, FDA regulations also require it. Read our detailed Traceability white paper here.
Handheld scanners help you stay on top of maintenance activities, identifying parts for return and repair, track assets, handle work orders and other activities.
In-line barcode readers are used to verify barcode data and track assets as they flow through the manufacturing and sales process.

Traceability with Laser Markers
Laser Markers solve traceability problems by permanently marking your parts with a unique identifier. Although lasers have a relatively high entry cost, their long life, low maintenance, improved text readability, and lack of consumables result in a lower total cost of ownership compared to inkjet printers.
Sensors
Part detection is typically a critical component to most automated workcells. Applications for Datalogic have a wide array of part detection sensors and sensors for the following applications:
• Part Presence
• Detect Fill Levels
• Inspect Color
• Simple Machine Vision
• Encoders
• Tachometers
• Metal Detection
Packaging and Palletizing
Cobot Arms can safely work alongside human operators without additional safety sensors or guarding – saving you time and space. Check out these case study videos to learn more about robotic palletizing and packaging.
Cobots increase OEE at L’oreal by 5% by performing end-of-line palletizing
Universal Robots save Coty Cosmetics $500k annually by automating packaging.
Automated Material Handling
Mobile Robots can be used to replace manually pushing carts or delivering material.
Applications:
• Replace Forklifts or Tuggers
• Replace Pushing Carts or Trolleys
• Bring raw materials to production line
Conveyors
Conveyors are a simple way to automate and improve process flow. We have conveyor solutions for both standard manufacturing environments and washdown, clean room environments. QC Conveyors provide ease-of-use and time savings as they have a tool-less design for cleaning, swapping and tensioning belts.
We also offer plastic chain conveyors for applications that require a long travel distance or change in elevation. Plastic chain is a good fit for the following applications:
• Alpine Conveyor System
• Elevator Conveyor System
• Lengths up to 100′
TSLOTS Framing
TSLOTS Aluminum Extrusion Modular framing can be used to build work cells and more!
