Steakholder Foods' AI-powered Nozzle Inspection System
Steakholder Foods has unveiled its AI-powered Nozzle Inspection System. The international deep-tech food company believes its new launch is a “game changer” in an industry that requires high levels of consistency and precision. With its real-time insights into print head performance, Steakholder’s new system claims to minimise downtime, ensure consistent high-quality prints, and provide proactive maintenance.
Key information:
- Steakholder Foods launched its AI-powered Nozzle Inspection System.
- The new system claims to provide real-time insights into the performance of print heads, minimise downtime, and enhance print quality levels.
- Additionally, the deep-tech food company believes the implementation of its new system can lead to a reduction in recalls and waste.
According to its developers, the new system aims to meet industrial print head inspection's “stringent” demands. It claims to do this by leveraging industrial camera technology as well as “state-of-the-art” AI algorithms, in the hope to reshape print head monitoring. Additionally, the inspection system allegedly enhances precision and consistency levels regarding industrial 3D printing.
“We believe in pushing the boundaries of what's possible,” said Itamar Atzmony, Chief Engineering Officer, at Steakholder Foods. “With this new system, we're not just elevating printing standards; we're giving our partners and clients access to the pinnacle of technological innovation.”
Key features of the AI-powered Nozzle Inspection System include:
- Precision Imaging – Capturing water-based droplets as minute as 10um, with enhanced levels of clarity.
- Advanced Segmentation AI – Employing its segmentation algorithm, the system facilitates granular analysis as it identifies all droplets.
- Real-Time Nozzle Analysis – The AI technology evaluates the efficacy of each nozzle in real-time, providing a performance score and immediate feedback.
- Comprehensive Reporting – After the analysis, the system will complete a report informing the user of the status of the print head nozzles. The report will also detail recommendations which may improve print quality and equipment longevity.
The international deep-tech food company believes its new system will be a strategic asset for its B2B clients. Users should be able to meet any high standards required by consumers, regulators, and investors, with the system's consistency and quality levels regarding 3D printing. With improved quality levels, Steakholder Foods believes the system should lead to fewer recalls, less waste, and a faster time-to-market. All of these factors are key to scaling up operations as well as meeting global demands.
