German technology company Rohde & Schwarz has introduced the R&S IMAGER, a new inspection system that uses millimeter wave imaging to look inside sealed packages without opening them or using X-rays. Designed for industrial production lines, the system enables manufacturers to detect hidden defects and missing components while products continue moving along the conveyor belt. Unlike conventional inspection methods that rely on cameras, weight checks or X-ray systems, the R&S IMAGER uses non-ionizing millimeter waves to create detailed three-dimensional images of the contents inside a package. These images can then be analyzed using artificial intelligence (AI) to identify missing parts,…
