en.Wedoany.com Reported, Fortress Technology announced it will launch a new food safety touchscreen solution at the interpack exhibition in Germany in 2026. This touchscreen is designed to improve operational efficiency in food processing environments, reduce the risk of human error, and is particularly suitable for high-speed production lines.
This touchscreen is specifically designed for the Stealth metal detector, featuring prominent buttons, high-contrast icons, and a color-coded alarm system. It enables staff to quickly access critical control point information and handle alarms or event logs in real-time, ensuring the accuracy of food safety monitoring even under demanding production conditions.
With dimensions of 18.3 cm x 11.4 cm, the touchscreen can be integrated into the company's full range of metal detectors, including Stealth and Interceptor gravity, pipeline, and conveyor belt models. Existing users can upgrade without significant equipment modifications, while traditional membrane and stainless-steel human-machine interfaces will remain available.
The high-contrast display supports light and dark modes, facilitating clear visibility of alarms and data during safety-critical tasks. The new interface enables real-time monitoring functions, providing instant access to event logs and quick product setup, which helps optimize production processes.
The human-machine interface displays production statistics in real-time, such as contaminant detection results, conveyor belt status, throughput metrics, and sensitivity settings. All data is recorded for easy extraction and report generation. Quality assurance reports can be automatically exported via USB or Contact 4.0 digital technology, enhancing traceability and simplifying audit processes.
For processors requiring advanced connectivity, optional OPC UA and Ethernet/IP communication adapters are available, enabling customized data acquisition and integration with factory monitoring systems, ERP, and databases. Combined with the Halo automatic test function, these features help food companies comply with safety standards such as HACCP and GFSI.
Regarding industry trends, Eriez launched the PrecisionGuard X8 metal detector last year, suitable for food, packaging, and other fields, offering various configurations. Theegarten-Pactec recently introduced the FPC6 flow wrapper, targeting products like chocolate and confectionery, emphasizing flexibility and digital features.
