What Peco InspX does
Peco InspX is a privately held electronic manufacturing company that designs and builds X-ray inspection systems, fill level monitors, dud detectors, and can seam analyzers for the food, beverage, and life science industries. The company traces its heritage to 1955 (Peco Corporation), with the current entity formed in 2015 through the merger of Peco Controls and InspX. Its core technology platform, ScanTrac, combines proprietary X-ray hardware (single-tube multi-beam architectures including Duo, Trio, and Glissando configurations) with neural network-based image processing algorithms capable of real-time analysis at up to 40 images per second. The product portfolio spans side-view and top-down inspection systems for metal cans, glass containers, flexible packaging, bulk and pumped products, plus specialized solutions for protein (bone fragment detection to 0.2mm), dairy, and pharmaceuticals.
The company operates a hybrid revenue model combining capital equipment sales with recurring preventative maintenance contracts (Premium and Elite tiers), short-term equipment rentals for validation, and professional services including 24/7 remote technical support that resolves over 95% of customer issues without onsite visits. Peco InspX manufactures at its Modesto, California facility, maintains headquarters in Burlingame, California, and operates regional offices in the UK (European HQ) and the Philippines (APAC HQ), supported by a global network of authorized representatives across South Africa, the UAE, China, Mexico, Canada, and Australia/NZ. The company claims its systems inspect approximately 1 billion units daily worldwide across its installed base. Native Industry 4.0 integration via OPC-UA and MQTT (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud) positions the platform for plant-level connectivity and data analytics, culminating in the 2021 launch of the Peco InspX IoT Platform.
