An American premium dairy product manufacturer, faced issues with packaging quality—yogurt tubs missing lids, and illegible or absent expiration date codes. Despite a well-staffed inspection team, manual verification couldn't keep pace with production demands. Elementary's solution, a network of automated cameras and sensors, now inspects thousands of tubs daily, ensuring packaging integrity in a food-safe environment, even withstanding nightly washdowns.
The yogurt brand (owned by a leading beverage company) is built on the principle of superior quality – in their products, animal welfare, customer care, and sustainability efforts. And with growing demand for their nutritious products, the manufacturer strives to ensure that every bottle of milk or tub of yogurt leaves the production line with the same uniform quality, packaging, and labeling. So, when the new lactose-free yogurt facility started noticing recurring defects in lid placement and code printing quality, they needed to find a solution that could keep up with their production demands, accommodate changes in packaging design without expensive retooling and retraining, keep labor costs steady, and work within the company’s strict food safety and cleaning protocols while maintaining precise accuracy throughout.
