Perfect Fill Levels, Every Package

In today's competitive food market, customers expect consistency in every purchase. Whether it's a ready-to-eat meal, packaged snacks, or portioned products, the right amount of product in each package is crucial for customer satisfaction and brand reputation. Under-filled packages disappoint customers, while over-filled packages increase costs and waste.

Missing Product Detection technology transforms your quality control process by automatically identifying packages with incorrect fill levels, ensuring every customer receives exactly what they paid for while optimizing your production costs.

The Cost of Inconsistent Fill Levels

Incorrect fill levels create multiple problems across your operation:

Customer complaints about under-filled packages damage brand reputation
Negative online reviews amplify dissatisfaction and hurt sales
Over-filled packages increase material costs and reduce profits
Regulatory compliance issues with portion control requirements
Manual inspection inefficiency leads to inconsistent quality
Product waste from incorrectly filled packages

Manual Visual Checks

Human inspectors cannot consistently detect subtle fill level variations across all packages

Weight-Based Systems

Weight alone cannot distinguish between missing product and package variations
