Phoxter to Exhibit AI Solutions Automating 'Inspection' and 'Process Monitoring' for Food Manufacturing Lines at FOOMA JAPAN (June 2-5)

Phoxter to Exhibit AI Solutions Automating 'Inspection' and 'Process Monitoring' for Food Manufacturing Lines

Phoxter, Inc. (Headquarters: Toyonaka, Osaka; President: Junichi Sonoda) will be exhibiting at FOOMA JAPAN 2026, held at Tokyo Big Sight from Tuesday, June 2, to Friday, June 5, 2026.

At the exhibition, the company will introduce solutions utilizing its 'StellaController 2.0,' a hybrid image processing system equipped with both AI and rule-based technologies, as a latest case study in 'inspection automation through image processing technology' for food manufacturing processes.

Furthermore, the company will exhibit unique solutions that go beyond product inspection to realize automation and quality improvement for the entire food manufacturing line, including a 'folder monitoring function' that can retrofit AI inspection to existing X-ray machines, and an 'AI Detection' function that tracks the movements of workers' hands and objects to prevent human error.

Exhibition Highlights

- 1 | High-Precision Inspection via AI and Rule-Based Hybrid System Phoxter will exhibit a visual inspection system with top-class implementation experience in Japan, merging AI and rule-based technologies to meet the rigorous quality standards required in food manufacturing sites. This breakthrough technology aims to minimize over-detection and missed errors, ensuring practical utility on the factory floor.

- 2 | No Annotation Required: Build High-Precision AI Models in Short Time With 'StellaController 2.0,' users can skip the extensive annotation work previously required and build high-precision models from small amounts of image data. This enables a reduction in setup labor and facilitates easy deployment across multiple lines.

- 3 | From Integration with Existing Equipment to 'Process Monitoring' Visitors can explore solutions aimed at total automation and efficiency of manufacturing lines, including not only standalone inspection systems, but also AI inspection add-ons for existing equipment such as X-ray machines, and applications for monitoring and improving work processes by tracking the movements of objects and workers' hands.

Key Exhibits

- 'High-Speed, High-Precision AI Visual Inspection' (Aluminum Packaging Products) Introducing a solution using 'StellaController 2.0' to achieve high-precision defect detection even in inline inspections requiring high takt times.

- 'AI Visual Inspection Linked with X-ray Machines' (Folder Monitoring) A solution that extends AI inspection through a 'folder monitoring function' while linked to existing X-ray machines, enabling short-term inspection capacity improvements without altering existing systems.

- 'Work Process Monitoring Application' (AI Detection) A monitoring application using the AI Detection function that precisely identifies 'where, what, and how many' items are. By tracking the coordinates and movements of workers' hands and objects, it monitors work processes, contributing to human error prevention and automatic detection of work mistakes.
