Newtec’s solutions are widely used for processes such as weighing and grading of potatoes and carrots.

Advanced cameras for optical grading, food safety, and quality inspections

Just one example of when Newtec has been at the forefront of industry innovation is when the company wanted to fit intelligent sensor cameras to its machines. As the technology at this point did not meet Newtec’s specific demands, the company established its subsidiary Qtechnology in 2007. The subsidiary provides an extensive range of intelligent camera systems that are used for high-quality sorting processes of fruit and vegetables.

Every camera used in a Newtec machine has been specially designed and made by Qtechnology, enabling full control and support throughout every stage of the process.

Newtec and Qtechnology have developed an advanced solution that optimises detection of bacteria, significantly boosting food safety. The hyperspectral camera is able to detect listeria bacteria in pork instantaneously.

The company’s solutions can weigh and pack fruit and vegetables, seafood and other fresh produce. Should there not be a solution available to meet your exact requirements, Newtec will not only create one especially, but also future-proof it.

Research and development into future packaging innovations

In a world that is constantly changing, it can be easy to fall behind with the latest trends and regulations. To ensure that Newtec solutions are always one-step ahead of the curve, the company invests a considerable amount of resources in research and development.

The company has built state-of-the-art facilities and cooperates closely with researchers, scientists and university students both nationally and internationally to gain a clear insight into the solutions that have the potential to shape the industry’s future. Whether these influential developments are from new materials, artificial intelligence (AI), or technology, the company will be at the forefront.
