How SWIR Technology Determines Food Quality
Why are some food inspections moving beyond visible light?
Shortwave infrared (SWIR) technology allows machine vision systems to see what the human eye—and even traditional cameras—can’t. SWIR cameras, combined with Chroma‘s sputter-coated filters, help identify subtle defects such as bruises in produce, imperfections in packaging, and even bone and tissue composition in meat. This precision ensures better quality and safety without slowing production lines.
Discover how bandpass shape and optimized lighting enhance these systems, and explore how SWIR filters are contributing to advances in food and packaging inspection in Chroma Technology’s whitepaper, entitled “How SWIR Technology With Sputter-Coated Interference Filters Helps Determine Food Quality.”
