At the SIAL Shenzhen international food and beverage exhibition in September 2025, Wuxi SPECU Technology Co., Ltd. was one of the highlights of the show with its innovative hyperspectral vision inspection solution. A technology company bringing together joint China-UK research capabilities, SPECU used the three-day exhibition not only to showcase its technology for detecting mold in food, but also to hold in-depth discussions with representatives of food processing companies from across China on new solutions to mold problems in the food industry.
1. Showcase product advantages and focus on technical innovation
At the exhibition, SPECU's booth drew a large number of attendees who stopped to inquire, thanks to its advanced technology and professional presentation. Using a dynamic demo screen, staff visually presented application cases of hyperspectral vision in food. They explained the process from food ingredients entering inspection, to the equipment rapidly capturing spectral signals, to the system accurately identifying mold and triggering the rejection mechanism, giving customers a clear sense of the technology's advantages.
Many representatives from food production and processing companies spoke in depth with our staff about the pain points of mold detection in actual production. Some companies asked, “How can detection speed and accuracy both be ensured during batch production?” and “Do detection parameters need to be adjusted for different food categories, such as grains, fruits, and vegetables?” Drawing on past service cases, we provided professional answers one by one and simulated detection results in different scenarios on site, allowing visitors to directly experience the technology’s adaptability and reliability. The ongoing exchanges at the booth not only demonstrated SPECU’s technical strength, but also helped more industry partners understand the value of hyperspectral detection technology in food safety.
On the third day of the exhibition, SPECU also took part in a feature interview with media at the event. In the interview, Xu Haitong, the company's general manager, explained the core strengths of the "No-Mold Hero" solution: "Compared with traditional manual inspection or conventional machine vision inspection, our hyperspectral technology captures spectral features inside food. Even for early-stage mold that is hard to distinguish with the naked eye, it can achieve high accuracy and fully meets the production line requirements of food manufacturers." The interview not only gave industry media a deeper understanding of SPECU's technical capabilities, but also, through media coverage, helped more industry partners who could not attend learn about the breakthrough in hyperspectral inspection technology for food safety.
II. Identify market needs and seize partnership opportunities
SPECU had a productive showing at the SIAL exhibition. The company reached preliminary cooperation intentions with several food companies across grain processing, snack foods, deep processing of fruits and vegetables, and other segments. These companies said that as consumers pay growing attention to food safety, SPECU's food internal mold testing solution can control quality at the production source and effectively reduce the risk of product recalls. Through follow-up cooperation, SPECU will customize and optimize testing solutions for each company's production scenarios, supporting the implementation of the technology in practical production.
While exhibiting, SPECU also identified several important trends in the food industry. As consumers pay closer attention to food safety and health, food companies are placing higher demands on testing technology. Beyond traditional quality inspection, companies increasingly want real-time monitoring across the entire chain—from raw materials and production processes to finished products—to keep product quality under control.
Digitalization and intelligent automation are also an inevitable trend in the food industry. With AI, big data, and other technologies, food companies can manage production intelligently, raising efficiency and lowering costs. SPECU's hyperspectral inspection solution combines advanced algorithm models with intelligent hardware, enabling not only accurate mold detection but also automatic recording of inspection data. This gives companies data to support production process optimization and offers broad market potential.
Going forward, the company will continue to embrace innovation, optimize its technical solutions to meet the testing needs of different food categories, and provide higher-quality, more efficient testing services to the food industry, helping the industry achieve its development goals of "safety, green, and intelligence."
