Glass requires detecting fragments of identical density, while plastic presents transparency and reflection issues that confuse conventional systems. The stakes are particularly high for beverage operations. A single contaminated batch triggers recalls that average $10 million per incident, according to Food Safety Magazine research. Modern bottle inspection systems solve this by adapting to material properties rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all...
