Figure 1. Uncertainty about the change in the annual Salmonella human illness rate when off-line inspection procedures are intensified in chicken establishments is depicted for the indiscriminate scenario, the increased unscheduled procedures scenario and the decreased scheduled but not performed procedures scenario..

This paper proposes another realistic application of the economic order quantity EOQ model. Researchers have studied EOQ models that assume the received lot contains items that are perfect and imperfect. All models in the literature assume that the received lot goes through a 100% inspection to separate acceptable items from the non-acceptable items. This paper argues that 100% inspection is no...

Vision System (system vision) it's a apply computer vision in industry. While computer vision is focused mainly on image processing at the level of hardware, vision system most often requires the use of additional hardware I/O (input/output) and computer networks to transmit information generated by the other process components, such as a robot arm. Vision system is a subcategory of engineering...

quality inspection is an indispensable part of modern industrial manufacturing. steel as a major industry requires constant surveillance and supervision through its various stages of production. continuous casting is a critical step in the steel manufacturing process in which molten steel is solidified into a semi-finished product called slab. once the slab is released from the casting unit, th...

We show that the chromaticness of the visual signal that results from the two-color mixing achieved through an optically enhanced binocular device is directly related to the band ratio of light intensity at the two selected wavebands. A technique that implements the band-ratio criterion in a visual device by using two-color mixing is presented here. The device will allow inspectors to identify ...

This paper describes the framework used by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to assess the risks to animal health associated with biotechnology-derived animals and their products. In Canada the risks to animal health associated with biotechnology-derived animals are one consideration among several other regulatory concerns (e.g. human health, the environment). The risk analysis process begins...

Even a small product palette can quickly lead to hundreds of packaging subtypes, especially in the food industry where seasonal and regional ad campaigns are common and suppliers are often switched. This is why the systems usually have a learning phase, during which identifiers and inspection rules are stored in a database, and an operation phase, during which pattern matching algorithms are us...
