KPM Analytics Establishes OEM Division to Integrate Vision Inspection Technology Directly into Food Processing Equipment

KPM Analytics announces the launch of a new Original Equipment Manufacturer business division specializing in integrating advanced vision inspection and foreign material detection technologies into food production equipment. The division will leverage AI-driven applications through product brands including EyePro System, Sightline Process Control, and Smart Vision Works, building on over 50 years of combined expertise in vision inspection technology and 17 years in AI model development for food applications.

The strategic shift enables direct partnerships with food processing equipment manufacturers, creating a one-stop source for brands seeking to strengthen process control. According to KPM’s Managing Director for Vision Inspection Systems, Andrea Bertuolo, embedding inspection systems into OEM equipment helps manufacturers deliver tools that add immediate value for processors. The initiative targets industries such as baking, meat and poultry, confectionery, and root crops, aiming to seamlessly integrate high-performance inspection systems into production lines globally.

For food production equipment manufacturers, embedding KPM’s technology allows monitoring of performance and product consistency, enabling applications that alert personnel or automatically rectify mechanical errors to prevent waste or downtime. Engineering firms can include KPM in their supplier portfolio to offer reputable AI-powered vision inspection solutions when designing new production plants, setting customers up for success. Machine integrators benefit by adding KPM’s vision inspection technology as a value-added offering, providing complete, data-driven processing solutions from a single supplier.

KPM’s automated vision inspection solutions help identify surface and structural defects, monitor product uniformity, and ensure compliance with specifications, from product-counting applications to complex quality and foreign material inspection with integrated rejection. As food manufacturers face increasing demands for quality assurance, operational efficiency, food safety, and transparency, the new division aims to make vision-based inspection technologies more accessible. KPM’s Chief Executive Officer Brian Mitchell emphasizes that the OEM division provides equipment manufacturers and integrators a direct pathway to incorporate KPM’s expertise into their designs.

KPM invites OEMs to meet at Booth #535 at the International Baking Industry Expo 2025 in Las Vegas to discuss integrating vision inspection capabilities, with demonstrations including systems showcasing integration between vision inspection technology and an online near-infrared moisture analyzer.
