FabriSight can help manufacturing companies comply with several regulatory and compliance requirements. Here are some key regulations that FabriSight can assist with through its AI-powered visual inspection system, InspectIQ:

1. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)
Real-Time Hazard Detection: [AI Inspection]
InspectIQ can identify critical defects or hazards on the production line, including packaging issues, and visual anomalies. This supports HACCP's requirement to monitor critical control points (CCP) in real time.
Consistent Record-Keeping:
InspectIQ can integrate with quality systems to keep a digital log of visual inspections, making it easier to demonstrate compliance with HACCP’s record-keeping requirements.
2. Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
Packaging & Label Integrity:
InspectIQ helps verify that packaging is properly sealed and labels are correct, reducing the chances of mislabeling or contamination, which is a key component of GMP.
3. USDA Compliance for Meat and Poultry Inspection
Foreign Object Detection:
InspectIQ can identify visible defects in meat and poultry products, helping ensure that the products meet USDA safety standards before they leave the production line.
Defect Identification:
By ensuring that all products meet USDA quality guidelines, InspectIQ can help reduce the risk of recalls due to undetected defects.
4. FDA 21 CFR Part 11 - Electronic Records and Signatures
Secure Digital Record-Keeping:
InspectIQ provides a secure digital audit trail of inspection activities, including time-stamped records of defects. This helps manufacturers meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for electronic records in production environments, particularly for industries like pharmaceuticals.

5. Preventive Controls for Human Food (PCHF) under FSMA
Continuous Monitoring:
InspectIQ provides continuous monitoring of production lines, allowing for real-time detection of hazards. This aligns with PCHF requirements for monitoring preventive controls, minimizing the risk of contamination during production.
6. International Featured Standards (IFS)
Product Inspection and Quality Assurance:
InspectIQ helps food production companies maintain consistent product quality and reduce contamination risks, supporting compliance with IFS standards for high-quality food production.
Reduced Recalls:
By ensuring product consistency and quality, InspectIQ helps companies avoid recalls and maintain certification under IFS.
7. FDA’s Nutrition Labeling Requirements
Label Verification:
InspectIQ can inspect product labels for accuracy, ensuring that nutrition information and allergen warnings are correct and properly positioned on the package. This helps manufacturers maintain compliance with FDA labeling requirements and reduces the risk of mislabeling.
Summary of Regulatory Compliance InspectIQ Supports:
- HACCP: Real-time hazard detection and digital records.
- GMP: Packaging, and labeling consistency.
- USDA: Inspection of meat and poultry products for visible defects.
- FDA 21 CFR Part 11: Secure electronic record-keeping.
- PCHF under FSMA: Continuous monitoring of preventive controls.
- IFS: Consistent product quality and recall prevention.
