ContamPlus™ harnesses the power of multiple advanced inspection algorithms running simultaneously to deliver industry-leading contamination detection capabilities. This multi-algorithm approach helps manufacturers identify a wide range of physical contaminants in their products, including metal, glass, stone, plastic, bone, and other foreign materials. It reliably detects these contaminants across various product types, helping to uphold the highest standards in product safety and quality.
We understand that products and production line requirements can differ significantly depending on industry, application, and region or location of the manufacturing facility. For this, ContamPlus™ offers an adaptable sensitivity control feature. This feature allows each inspection tool within the software to be finely adjusted for higher or lower sensitivity. This helps tailor every inspection to the unique characteristics of the product, as well as the specific contaminants that need to be detected. This customization is essential to detect the smallest foreign objects while also minimizing false rejects caused by natural product or packaging variations.
ContamPlus™ prioritizes user convenience and operational efficiency. It features a streamlined and automated product learning process that significantly simplifies set-up and product changeovers. This intuitive system allows equipment operators to configure inspection parameters quickly and easily, without requiring extensive training or technical knowledge.
The product learning procedure is straightforward. The process begins by selecting the number of product samples for the system to learn from. Then, the operator passes this chosen number of contaminant and defect-free products through the x-ray inspection system. ContamPlus™ quickly learns and analyzes the expected product characteristics. This intelligent learning enables accurate distinction between acceptable products and products with potential contaminants or defects.
ContamPlus™ completes this learning phase rapidly, minimizing production downtime during changeovers. The automation within the process offers consistency, repeatability, and reduces the chance of human error. After learning, the system continuously applies this knowledge to the inspection process, for confident quality verification of all products moving through the production line.
This simplified setup process is especially valuable in environments with high product variety, or when frequent changeovers are necessary. By minimizing the time and effort needed to adjust settings to inspect new products, ContamPlus™ helps maintain steady production speeds and enhances overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
ContamPlus™ is engineered to address the common challenge of false rejects with a responsive and adaptive detection system. When a potential contaminant or defect is detected, only the specific inspection algorithms that are triggered will activate, decreasing false alarms and minimizing false rejects for improved detection accuracy.
During the product learning process, a baseline sensitivity level is set for each inspection tool. This baseline helps to distinguish between acceptable product variations and actual foreign material contaminants. What makes ContamPlus™ especially effective is its ability to update and refine these sensitivity settings dynamically, either in real time or after a false reject event.
If a false rejection occurs, the system records the event and allows equipment operators to adjust the sensitivity of the algorithm that was triggered, improving the accuracy of future inspections. The continuous feedback loop lowers false reject frequency over time, so only genuinely defective products are removed from the production line.
With a reduced number of false rejects, manufacturers can cut unnecessary product waste, leading to significant cost savings in raw materials, labor, and rework expenses (where applicable). Lowering the number of false rejects also contributes to smoother production runs, less downtime, and higher overall equipment effectiveness.
ContamPlus™ includes an advanced integrated product image library that automatically saves a complete record of all scanned product images from inspections, including both accepted and rejected items. This feature provides a visual archive of each product passing through the inspection system and functions as a vital tool for quality assurance and regulatory compliance.
By maintaining a detailed inspection history of images, equipment operators and quality managers can easily access and review past inspections at any time. This supports thorough analysis of any contamination event or product anomaly, allowing teams to quickly identify the root cause of the problem and implement corrective actions to prevent future occurrences.
This extensive data storage supports the creation of a transparent and consistent production audit trail. Regulatory agencies and internal auditors often require detailed documentation to verify that safety and quality standards are consistently met. With ContamPlus™ X-ray Inspection Software, manufacturers can effortlessly fulfill these requirements by providing documented evidence of inspection history, including images and inspection outcomes.
The long-term storage of product inspection data also enables trend analysis and supports continuous improvement initiatives. By reviewing historical data, manufacturers can detect subtle changes or emerging contamination patterns, optimize inspection parameters, and enhance overall product safety and process reliability.
ContamPlus™ X-ray Inspection Software by METTLER TOLEDO represents a powerful, adaptable, and user-friendly software solution designed to meet the evolving needs of modern production lines.
By combining advanced detection technology, customizable sensitivity, streamlined setup, and comprehensive data management, ContamPlus™ helps manufacturers maintain the highest standards of product safety and quality. Its ability to reduce downtime, minimize waste, and support regulatory compliance makes this software an invaluable asset for improving operational efficiency and protecting brand integrity.
