New Software Aims to Ease UK Food Safety Inspection Backlog
Grape Software contact form
Grape Software has announced the release of a new food hygiene inspection software for UK Local Authorities, designed to simplify the inspection process and help reduce the growing backlog of food businesses currently awaiting an inspection. According to the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA), as of June 2025, an estimated 95,000 food businesses are overdue for hygiene inspections, including 841 classified as "high risk."
Designed to address this pain point, Grape INSPECT was purpose-built for Environmental Health Officers across the UK. The software replaces outdated paper-based practices and digitizes the entire inspection process, allowing decisions on food hygiene ratings to be made and published within days rather than weeks. Users can record and upload notes and photographs during inspections, directly onsite. The system then generates the inspection report with a food hygiene rating, with all information being stored securely and easily accessible. Grape Software collaborated with Environmental Health Officers to develop Grape INSPECT, ensuring the technology is not only efficient, but also user-friendly.
Transmitters for Non-Contact Measurement of Solids, Liquids in Silos, Tanks
KROHNE contact form
KROHNE has introduced the OPTIWAVE 1530 and OPTIWAVE 1560 radar Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) level transmitters to deliver accurate, non-contact measurement of solids and liquids. The OPTIWAVE 1530 provides a cost-effective solution with a measuring range of 0–15 meters (m) or 49.2 feet (ft.), making it well-suited for small to medium silos, stockpiles, bunkers, and tanks. The OPTIWAVE 1560 extends this capability to 30 m (98.4 ft.) for long-range measurement in tall silos, large tanks, and deep vessels. Both models deliver drift-free, maintenance-free operation without the need for recalibration over the lifetime of the product, significantly reducing total cost of ownership.
Built for durability, both models feature a compact, robust design with fully potted electronics to protect internal components from dust, condensation, vibration, and shocks. The flush-mounted, concave PVDF lens antenna offers excellent chemical resistance and a self-draining design to prevent buildup, maintain a stable radar signal, and ensure consistent performance, even with condensation present. With a narrow 4-degree beam angle, these transmitters achieve exceptional accuracy in tight spaces and in vessels with internal obstructions by avoiding interference from walls or fixtures.
Chemical Analysis Platform Enables Microplastics Detection in Food
StellarNet: ContactUs@StellarNet.us
StellarNet has introduced the enhanced StellarScope AM/PA, a chemical analysis platform that combines automated mapping and particle analysis in a single system. It unites micron-scale morphological imaging with Raman spectroscopy, all driven by intelligent software control. Built for high-precision material characterization, the system empowers users to detect, measure, classify, and chemically identify microscopic particles across diverse applications.
With the ability to identify particles as small as 1 micron, StellarScope AM/PA helps the food industry detect contaminants in real time, before they reach consumers. The technology, which was enhanced in 2025 with next-generation automapping, is already in use by food and ingredient manufacturers.
Touchless Traceability for Food Industry
Distribution Centers
ReposiTrak contact form
ReposiTrak has introduced a Touchless Traceability solution designed specifically for distribution centers (DCs). The traceability solution addresses a longstanding operational challenge: the ability to easily capture and share lot codes and related shipping data for all items shipped to customers. The solution enables retailers and wholesalers operating DCs to meet regulatory and customer-driven traceability requirements with no added labor, no label scanning, and no need for an expensive overhaul of existing Warehouse Management System (WMS) platforms.
Case- or item-level scanning at the DC would dramatically increase labor, decrease throughput, and introduce new risks. Scanning at the store or restaurant level to confirm lot codes shipped and received would pose additional challenges, especially in operations where deliveries are large or if deliveries occur during off-hours. ReposiTrak's solution eliminates the need for scanning by automatically linking existing supplier data to data from the DC's systems.
Predictive Monitoring Tool for Dairy, Beverage Production
GEA contact form
GEA has introduced GEA InsightPartner EvoHDry, a digital condition monitoring tool developed to support operational reliability in dairy and beverage production environments. The system is designed for facilities producing items such as infant formula, cream, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and cheese, where consistent performance is critical.
The tool applies real-time monitoring to track parameters including temperature, pressure, vibration, and flow. This data-driven approach enables early detection of equipment degradation, helping operators identify issues such as suction pressure loss in vacuum pumps—one of the leading causes of unplanned downtime in evaporation systems. Predictive analytics generate pre-alarm notifications, allowing for timely intervention before failures occur. The solution is tailored for use with evaporators, spray dryers, pumps, and rotating equipment, and extends monitoring through cleaning cycles.
New and Improved Pipeline X-Ray System
Eagle Product Inspection contact
Eagle Product Inspection recently unveiled its redesigned Pipeline X-Ray System for pumped products, offering improved machine construction and built-in inspection technologies. Pipelines uses advanced PXT photon-counting dual energy X-ray technology for bone and foreign metal detection in poultry, meat, pet food, and other pumped products, with the ability to reject items before packaging or further processing with a lower false reject rate. The system offers flexible configurations and has unique features, such as a flowmeter with variable speed functionality, test ball insertion port, and reject catch port. Additionally, users can choose from multiple detection options, including single, dual, and photon-counting PXT technologies. Pipeline's construction also withstands harsh washdown conditions and has been refined to comply with North American Meat Institute (NAMI) guidelines for hygiene and sanitation. The system also fully aligns with the meat and poultry industry's Directives, Regulations, Norms, and Standards (DRNS).
