Anisakischeck®

Detection of Anisakis in industrial fish processing line.

ANISAKISCHECK ® has been designed to detect, in real time, the presence of the Anisakis parasite in moving fish pieces during industrial processing.

The aim of the ANISAKISCHECK ® is to increase food quality and optimise inspection processes in the fish processing industry by applying machine vision and artificial intelligence technologies for real-time detection of Anisakis spp. larvae during industrial processing.

For the detection of Anisakis, the ANISAKISCHECK ® integrates a high resolution optical scanner and an image processing module based on the latest advances developed by Marexi in artificial intelligence.

The ANISAKISCHECK® is the result of the Research and Development project “ANISAKISCHECK ®: Technological Solutions to Minimise the Presence of Anisakis in the Industrial Production of Cod’ developed in collaboration with PESCANOVA ESPAÑA, S.L.U. and financed through the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) of the Ministry of Science and Innovation of the Spanish Government.


The ANISAKISCHECK ®

  • It is manufactured according to the different international standards for food use.
  • This equipment can be easily integrated into the work lines of the usual manufacturers of fish processing machinery that equip the food industry.
  • Es un equipo robusto y de fácil manejo para el operador. Dispone de una interfaz de usuario amigable a través de una pantalla táctil de 15”.
  • It allows the company to adapt the quality criteria according to the requirements of the moment or of its customers. Once established, they remain constant and are not affected by the subjective interpretation of each employee. Thus, customer satisfaction is guaranteed.
  • It allows the visualisation of the Anisakis detected on the scanned image itself, indicating the percentage of infection within the analysis surface: Low-Medium-High-Free of Anisakis.
  • It has a module for storing historical results in a database integrated in the equipment, which is directly connected to the company’s ERP, and which allows the automatic generation of reports in different formats (Pdf, Excel…Etc.) and their automatic sending by e-mail.
  • It optimises the control of purchases from suppliers, allowing claims to be argued, as well as minimising customer complaints.

In short, the ANISAKISCHECK ® is an equipment designed and manufactured for use in the different quality controls of fishery products that are carried out at an industrial level, which contributes to improving the food safety of the product to be marketed.

PARASITE DETECTION WITH ANISAKISCHECK ® SYSTEM

The ANISAKISCHECK ® System has been developed in a project in collaboration with Nueva Pescanova financed by the CDTI and successfully validated, both scientifically and technically, by the IIM – CSIC in the framework of the European PARASITE project.
