Weighing and Detection
on the configuration. For easy and quick verification, the predicted performance as well as the conformity values are displayed, and if the limits are exceeded, an error or warning message is issued.
Mode of operation during X-ray inspection (Figure 1).
The initial sensitivities are calculated and stored directly after the autotrain process. The current sensitivity for stainless steel and glass is continuously and automatically checked after a fixed time interval. The sensitivity limits can be set manually. If the limits are exceeded, an error or warning message is issued.

before the next audit.
Validation is performed in 2 steps: 1. calculation of the false rejection rate (F.R.R.). 2. calculation of the probability of detection (P.O.D.).
The validation certificate issued directly from the service by the inspection system manufacturer is unique. It provides proof of normal distribution of the inspected product and another limit or control point for daily routine testing.
Advantages - Consistent validation - Automatic creation of a backup of all settings to restore the device to the state of validation - Records in the metal detector - Establish realistic test standards and ensure compliance
Figure 2: All product data and information on the detection signal are evaluated and merged in the detector. A validation certificate is then created as a PDF file.
Advantages - One performance of the repeat test including evaluation and documentation - Determination of the limit value to provide the customer with further safety during daily routine testing
Food safety requirements are constantly increasing. In the past, high-end devices that quickly and reliably detected a wide variety of foreign objects in food were sufficient. Nowadays, such inspection devices are not enough. Only with innovative software functions can one guarantee complete and efficient documentation in order to produce safely and in compliance with guidelines.
Advantages
Compliance with food safety standards • Savings in labor time, packaging and product waste • - Increase in production efficiency • - Increase in product quality • - Reducing the risk of poor quality control and record keeping • Integrated Validation Process - Transparent and Complete Documentation
The validation process is a documentation tool and provides evidence in the form of a certificate that the desired quality objectives for the respective product are achieved. Based on several samples, it is determined whether the results are consistent. In this way, the inspection system maintains an overview and automatically warns if validation is required

- Reliable reporting data - The user automatically receives a notification for the next validation. Thus, there is no need to affix stickers that could become detached. - The certificate can be saved in PDF format on a USB stick.
Services support you on the way to guideline-compliant food production For all other existing plants, inspection system manufacturers offer manufacturer validation as a service. The service includes the preparation of the annual validation certificate (Figure 2) and a maintenance report. Among other things, a repeat test of the probability of detection (P.O.D.) is carried out at the most unfavorable point of the metal detector using the specified test bodies.
