Home & Personal Care FAQs
What types of packaging can AIS inspect?
Pharmaceutical, medical, home and personal care products can be packaged in an unlimited list of packaging types including cartons, boxes, bottles, tubes and sachets. Products can be in multi-packs, elaborately packaged bottles, boxes and gift sets, vacuum packed and security sealed.
Our x-ray inspection systems can be configured to inspect each of these, whether packaged in metal foil and composite materials, glass packaging or even full cases of products.
We can also inspect electronic medical devices and personal care items, food and many other products.
What type and size of things can AIS detect?
As a general statement, x-ray can identify anything which has a reasonable absorption differential to the product in which it is surrounded. Typically, we detect foreign objects such as metal and glass fragments or higher density plastics and rubber compounds.
The size of object that we can identify is influenced by the density and size of the contaminant and the product, the position of the contaminant within the pack, and the type of packaging.
Detection of missing items and quality concerns is subject to similar factors.

We will always give a clear and honest appraisal of what is achievable and be prepared to demonstrate that to you at any time.

How long does it take to inspect the product?
The inspection time is dependent on the target defect or contaminant, the product and pack size, if it can be inspected in a case or has to be stripped from the case, re-shrunk wrapped etc.
A pallet can be as quick as 5 minutes or as long as two hours.
