Automated vision check solution for barcodes, QR codes, DPM, and printed information with 99% accuracy. Features AI integration to process difficult-to-read codes and seamlessly synchronizes with PLC & MES systems.

What is a Vision Camera?

A vision check machine (camera-based visual inspection system) is an automation solution that detects, reads codes, and verifies printed product information directly on high-speed production lines.

The inspection and sorting system operates in a closed loop through 5 steps:

  • Conveying: The conveyor belt transports products into the inspection area.
  • Detection: A sensor detects the product and sends a trigger signal to the camera.
  • Image Capture & Processing: The industrial camera captures an image under specialized auxiliary lighting and sends the data to barcode reading software (integrated with MES for production management).
  • Validation: Products that meet quality standards proceed to the next stage.
  • Automated Rejection: Products with incorrect codes, missing information, or blurry print are automatically pushed or blown off the line by a rejection mechanism.

Applications

The solution is compatible with various packaging types and materials:

  • Food Industry: Verifies expiration dates and QR codes on confectionery pouches, milk powder cans, glass jars, and paper cartons.
  • Beverage Industry: Reads information on bottle bodies/caps and soft drink cans.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry: Inspects traceability codes, batch numbers, and expiration dates on blister packs, medical bottles, and dietary supplement boxes.
  • Packaging & Logistics: Reads identification barcodes directly on packaging cartons.
