The project, titled DUAL-Mode IMaging for Production and Automated Control Technologies (DUAL-IMPACT), focuses on detecting contaminants and internal defects in food products. In sectors such as food processing and energy infrastructure, current quality control methods are often slow, labour-intensive and prone to error. This can pose serious risks to public health and safety.
To address this challenge, DUAL-IMPACT is developing a novel imaging workflow that integrates detailed three-dimensional imaging with the speed and efficiency of high-throughput systems. The goal is to enable faster, more reliable inspection processes within industrial environments.
About the funding
The HTSM programme is a joint initiative of the Dutch Research Council (NWO) and the top sector High Tech Systems and Materials (Holland High Tech). It supports both fundamental and application-oriented research that has the potential to address societal challenges and generate economic opportunities for the Netherlands.
