Quality control of processed and packaged foods can be an expensive, wasteful process that involves removing product from the production line and destroying it during testing. Any sub-standard product not detected in this costly process then goes to market, potentially damaging the brand before being returned and destroyed at the expense of the supplier. Firefit will use its funding to develop a real-time production monitoring application that performs automatic quality assurance of the ham curing and packaging process. To achieve this, it will integrate sensors alongside multispectral imaging to identify any problems in the quality of ham or its containers.
