Whether you operate ultra-high-speed beverage can lines or flexible, multi-SKU food can production, one principle remains constant:
Every defect is detected. Every code is verified. Every decision is backed by data.
Your Can Manufacturing Quality Workflow — Connected
Modern can plants operate at extraordinary speeds, with tight tolerances and rising expectations for traceability, sustainability, and proof of quality. Kestrel Vision simplifies this complexity by connecting inspection, marking, and analytics into one cohesive workflow:
Inspection & Traceability Solutions for Every Stage of Can Manufacturing
Pressco Metal Inspection Solutions High-speed vision and sensor-based systems detect defects in can bodies, shells, ends, and tabs before they impact filling operations or customer quality metrics. These systems are engineered to operate reliably at production speeds exceeding 2,000 cans per minute.
Pressco Beverage Can Inspection Ensures dimensional accuracy, surface quality, flange integrity, and decoration quality for aluminum beverage cans, minimizing filler downtime and downstream rejects.
Pressco Food Can Inspection Verifies seam-critical features, coating integrity, and structural consistency required for thermal processing and long-term product safety in food applications.
Pressco Empty Can Inspection (ECI) Identifies dents, flange damage, contamination, and shape defects prior to filling, protecting fillers from costly line stops and brand-damaging leaks.
FILTEC Laser Coding and OCR Lasetec 5 provides permanent, ink-free laser marking for aluminum cans, shells, and ends. The system supports high-contrast marking of: Date & lot codes; Data Matrix & QR codes; Alphanumeric identifiers; Logos, promotional graphics, and anti-counterfeit marks.
With our advanced communication tools, including direct internet connection to your systems as well as real-time chat with built-in automatic translation, you’ll always be protected from lengthy delays waiting for after-hours tech support assistance.
From Inspection to Intelligence — The Future of Can Manufacturing
Together, Pressco, FILTEC, and KLARITY form a fully connected ecosystem for metal can manufacturing — one that links inspection, marking, and data into a single source of truth.
For can makers, this means the ability to:
Deliver traceable cans and ends as a premium offering
Provide proof of quality and compliance across the supply chain
Improve operational performance through data-driven insight
Prepare for evolving digital and sustainability requirements
Kestrel Vision helps manufacturers move beyond inspection alone — toward a future where every can carries intelligence, accountability, and trust.
