The SimulTask 4.0 is said to allow customers to inspect products for quality, weight, and foreign materials faster, easier, with a fully customizable user interface that allows each of the 4 operator log-in-levels access rights only to those functions essential to their tasks. Access rights can be set by the next higher operator-level. The MDX enhances traditional X-ray inspection to allow detection of materials previously unseen.
