FOOMA JAPAN 2026: A Showcase of Innovation in Food Manufacturing
From June 2nd to June 5th, 2026, Tokyo Big Sight became the epicenter of global food manufacturing innovation at the largest food production exhibition, FOOMA JAPAN 2026. Among the exhibitors, Robit Corporation, a pioneer in AI, software, and hardware integration, showcased its flagship product – the AI visual inspection solution, the TESRAY G Series. Robit, under the leadership of CEO Yuki Hashimoto, aims to tackle pressing quality control issues within food production environments.
Overview of FOOMA JAPAN 2026
FOOMA JAPAN 2026, organized by the Japan Food Machinery Manufacturers' Association, welcomed over 1,056 exhibitors and an impressive 67,721 visitors, including 2,493 international attendees. The event provided a valuable platform for industry professionals to explore cutting-edge technologies and solutions aimed at enhancing food safety and quality.
The exhibition presented Robit's compelling vision:
"Solutions that can't be achieved by AI alone." This theme resonates through the advanced capabilities of the TESRAY G Series, which transforms how food products undergo quality inspections.
Introducing the TESRAY G Series
The
TESRAY G Series represents a paradigm shift in visual inspection technology, addressing the complexities that traditional imaging techniques could not manage. By merging AI technology with proprietary hardware, the TESRAY G Series excels in real-time identification of defects during the critical moment when products are falling freely – an innovative approach known as
“Airborne Drop Selection Technology.” This unique feature ensures that any abnormal products are swiftly ejected before they make contact with the ground, thereby reducing waste and improving overall efficiency.
This groundbreaking solution has earned the top ranking in the inspection and quality control division of FOOD TOWN, a specialized database for the food industry.
The unique characteristics of the TESRAY G Series are threefold:
1.
Superior Detection Capability:
By leveraging AI's contextual understanding, the system effectively identifies foreign objects that share similar colors with the original products, such as stones or insects, as well as minor shape distortions. This enhanced detection capability significantly elevates accuracy, surpassing traditional color-based sorting machines.
2.
Reproducing Expert Judgment:
Unlike conventional systems that only distinguish between defective and non-defective items, TESRAY allows for nuanced classifications based on the severity and type of defect. For instance, a minor defect could still qualify products for processing, thereby optimizing yield and minimizing waste— a significant aspect for manufacturers.
3.
Adaptability and Customization:
This inspection technology is highly versatile, designed to cater to a wide variety of small-scale objects, from cut vegetables and nuts to industrial products like plastic pellets. Since Robit develops its core technology in-house, they can tailor solutions to meet specific processing capabilities or constraints existing on manufacturing lines.
Exhibition Results and Feedback
Throughout the four-day event, Robit welcomed over 2,000 visitors to its booth, exchanging business cards with more than 1,250 individuals. Many attendees expressed interest in discussing potential implementations, reflecting a strong interest in Robit's innovative solutions. Feedback from attendees highlighted their recognition of Robit's reputation in inspection technology and appreciation for the high level of expertise demonstrated during live demonstrations.
Several remarks emphasized the depth of interest from industry stakeholders regarding quality control challenges within food manufacturing. Attendees shared sentiments like, “I've known Robit as an inspection technology leader,” and “Experiencing the demonstration truly showcased your technological prowess.”
Robit is committed to acting on the valuable insights and suggestions received during the exhibition, ensuring that they continue to improve their products and expand their service offerings. With a focus on addressing the challenges of manufacturing environments, Robit is poised to enhance their contributions to the industry.
