KPM Analytics Expands Vision Inspection Manufacturing Facilities to Support Baking and Snack Food Brands
WESTBOROUGH, Mass., July 2, 2025 /CNW/ -- KPM Analytics has announced a significant expansion of its vision inspection system manufacturing facility to meet increasing demand from baking and snack food producers seeking to elevate quality control and food safety on the line.
The 22,000 sq ft. operation is located at Viale dell'Industria 2, Pergine Valsugana (TN), 38057, Italy. The new facility more than doubles the production capacity for the company's industry-leading line of vision inspection systems, including the well-known Q-Bake™ In-Line Vision Inspection System, the EyePro Laner for packaging lane balancing, and the TheiaVu® E-Series At-Line Vision Measurement System. On high-speed baking and snack food production lines, KPM Analytics' vision inspection systems detect and monitor product quality and safety attributes such as color, shape, size, topping, and foreign material contamination.
In addition to producing inspection systems, the site will host factory acceptance testing, customer training, and hands-on demonstrations to help baking and snack food operators get the most from their equipment from day one. Additionally, the new location has dedicated facilities for developing advanced hardware and software applications for improved food safety, including hyperspectral imaging and artificial intelligence model development for foreign material detection.
According to KPM Analytics' General Manager for Vision Inspection Technologies, Andrea Bertuolo, "the facility expansion is a direct response to the growing needs of our customers who are under increasing pressure to meet rigorous quality standards. With the extra capacity, we are better prepared to improve our production throughput to meet their evolving demands."
KPM Analytics acquired EyePro System, S.r.l., in 2021, representing a significant moment in KPM Analytics' mission to assist food processors in their efforts to control product quality and amplify food safety throughout their organizations. Its vision inspection products have been a top choice among baking and snack makers to achieve 100% in-line inspection and automatic defect removal in their processing lines. In recent years, the division's emphasis on progressive applications that merge quality inspection with AI machine learning for advanced foreign material detection has elevated the brand into a higher echelon to help food brands excel in their quality assurance and food safety efforts.
"Baking and snack brands are facing tighter quality specs and higher volumes. The ability to catch defects, process deviations, or foreign materials instantly – not downstream – is essential," says KPM Analytics' Chief Executive Officer Brian Mitchell. "The investment in our new vision inspection facility ensures we meet customer expectations more effectively while continuing to innovate alongside them."
The new Pergine Valsugana location joins KPM Analytics' 11 other manufacturing, sales, and support offices worldwide and is the latest business expansion investment following similar projects in Orem, Utah USA, Villeneuve, France, Ottawa Ontario Canada and Westborough, MA USA.

Why Did Micron Stock Drop Today?
Key Points Samsung says the market for HBM memory for artificial intelligence (AI) functions is getting oversupplied. Samsung will cut prices on the most powerful HBM3E product in an attempt to win market share. Wells Fargo says this is bad news for Micron. 10 stocks we like better than Micron Technology › Shares of computer memory-maker Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) tumbled 5.2% through 11:25 a.m. ET Thursday -- but as far as I can tell, it wasn't anything Micron did to deserve this. Instead, it was Samsung that's to blame. What Samsung said about high-bandwidth memory (HBM) As WCCFTech reports this morning, Samsung has just announced it's lowering prices on HBM3E (that's "High Bandwidth Memory 3 Enhanced," currently the most capable kind of HBM memory, designed for use in artificial intelligence and machine learning). Samsung explained that on the one hand, it hasn't been able to win as much HBM business from Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) as it would like, while on the other hand, the HBM market seems oversupplied right now. And the solution to both problems -- to help Samsung move product -- is to lower prices. Is Micron stock a sell? For Micron, this poses a problem -- because Micron also wants to sell HBM3E memory, and now Samsung has effectively declared a price war in the HBM market. In order to fight it, Micron will have to lower its own prices (hurting Micron's revenue and profit), or else it will lose market share to Samsung (also hurting Micron's revenue and profit!) And if that sounds like a lose-lose proposition for Micron, that's because it is. In a note on The Fly this morning, Wells Fargo warned that Samsung's action will "impact market prices," drying up much of the premium in prices between HBM3E and plain-vanilla DRAM memory, perhaps as early as H2 2025 (i.e., now). Priced at just 20x trailing earnings, Micron stock may not look too expensive. But if profits are about to dry up as Samsung's price cuts take hold, Micron stock could look expensive in a hurry. Savvy investors might want to sell before that happens. Should you invest $1,000 in Micron Technology right now?

Microsoft capex to exceed $30B this quarter, CFO says
This story was originally published on CFO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CFO Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Microsoft expects its capital expenditures for its current quarter to exceed $30 billion, driven by 'the continued strong demand signals' the software giant is seeing, CFO Amy Hood said Wednesday. The remarks came as the company reported $281.7 billion in total revenues for its last fiscal year ended June 30, a 15% year-over-year spike. For the current fiscal year, Microsoft anticipates that it will deliver 'another year of double-digit revenue and operating income growth,' according to Hood. 'We will continue to invest against the expansive opportunity ahead across both capital expenditures and operating expenses given our leadership position in commercial cloud, strong demand signals for our cloud and AI offerings, and significant contracted backlog,' she said during an earnings call. Dive Insight: On the heels of the better-than-expected quarterly earnings, Microsoft's stock price jumped 5% on Thursday, pushing the company's valuation beyond the $4 trillion mark, according to a CNBC report. The company joined chipmaker Nvidia, which hit $4 trillion for the first time earlier in July, the report said. 'If this growth is maintained, it significantly reduces the risk that Microsoft would need to rethink its massive AI-related CAPEX, even if competitive pressure increases,' Thomas Monteiro, senior analyst at said in emailed comments. 'In other words, the company's ability to balance heavy AI investment with margin expansion shows it can scale efficiently into FY26, regardless of external challenges,' he added. Microsoft and other tech giants continue to bet heavily on AI as investors eagerly look for signs that its paying off. Meanwhile, economic uncertainty triggered by President Donald Trump's on-again, off-again tariff measures has created added pressure for big tech firms. For its fiscal 2025 third quarter ended March 31, Microsoft's capex, including finance leases, totaled $21.4 billion. That amount was 'slightly lower than expected due to normal variability from the timing of delivery of data center leases,' Hood said during an earnings call in late April. At the time, Hood said Microsoft expected its capex to grow at a slower pace in its upcoming fiscal year starting in July. This came after the company confirmed a pullback in AI data center projects. The company's capex during its most recent quarter was $24.2 billion, Hood said on Wednesday. Reiterating comments she made earlier this year, Hood said Microsoft's capex growth in the current fiscal year will moderate. 'Due to the timing of delivery of additional capacity in H1, including large finance lease sites, we expect growth rates in H1 will be higher than in H2,' the finance chief said.

Tesla (TSLA) a ‘Buy' as Pullback Triggers Favorable Risk-Reward: TD Cowen Analyst
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is one of the best AI stocks to buy, according to billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller. On July 24, TD Cowen analyst Itay Michaeli reiterated a 'Buy' rating on the stock and a $374 price target. david-von-diemar-ZBWn5DvO0hg-unsplash The bullish stance comes as the analyst reiterates that the recent dip pullback has tilted the stock's risk/reward favorably amid emerging new catalysts. The electric vehicle giant has already announced it has started building its more affordable model, with volume production planned for the second half of the year. The company plans to ramp up production of the affordable model, having suffered a major blow with the signing into law of the One Big Beautiful bill Act. With the new bill, there will no longer be a $7,500 tax credit that was the catalyst behind Tesla ramping up sales of its high-end models. To mitigate the expiration of the tax credits, Tesla has also confirmed plans to ramp up production of its purpose-built robotaxi, starting in 2026. Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) designs, manufactures, sells, and leases electric vehicles, as well as energy generation and storage systems. It also leverages artificial intelligence technology to train cars to drive themselves and create useful humanoid robots. While we acknowledge the potential of TSLA as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
