Visual inspection of cooling boxes for pharmaceutical and food industry

Basis for efficient and sustainable recycling processes.
Our customer eutecma GmbH is a leading manufacturer of cooling solutions for the transport of temperature-sensitive products in the food and pharmaceutical sectors. Through its retecma division, the Mannheim-based company is implementing the world’s first recycling cycle for modular cooling boxes in sizes from 4 litres to 1588 litres.
These EPS (expanded polystyrene) boxes are equipped with RFID chips that give each component a unique identity including type, weight and number of recycling cycles. Used or no longer required boxes can be returned to special “refreshment centres” where they enter a cycle that guarantees their reuse.
