The proper inspection of your food products is always a high priority. Ensuring the safety of a consumable protects not only consumers, but your brand. Without the right food inspection equipment, this is incredibly difficult. This is why many food producers invest heavily in top of the line food inspection technologies.

Sometimes, however, unforeseen circumstances can leave you without your usual product inspection equipment or with product that has been accidentally contaminated. This is where Plan Automation’s emergency X-ray product inspection services come into play.

What are Emergency X-Ray Product Inspection Services?

Plan Automation’s emergency x-ray inspection service program is a system for providing you with access to X-ray inspection equipment and technology so that you can inspect, certify, and reclaim your production ASAP.

With emergency X-ray product inspection services, you can either:

1. Send Your Product to a Plan Inspection Facility. Under this turnkey service, you complete the production of your packaged food goods at your facility, and ship the goods to a local Plan inspection facility to be inspected and certified.
2. Rent an Inspection Machine from Plan. If you need to handle your product inspection in-house because of compliance requirements or other business-related reasons, Plan Automation offers a flexible rental service that allows for rental periods of 1 day to several months.

For X-ray inspection, Plan is the exclusive distributor of Eagle PI X-rays, the premier X-ray inspection company for North America. Through Eagle, Plan Automation is able to offer a wide array of product inspection X-ray machines for various types of food product.
