The system checks the offline pre-printed labels to ensure that the imprint is within the defined area of the label.
The vision inspection ensures that the manufacturer's logo is fully printed and legible. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology is used to read variable texts, such as expiry dates, batch numbers and 2D matrix codes.
The camera photographs each passing label at half-second intervals . If an error occurs, the system stops and the label can be removed manually.
The software and the HMI have an intuitive design. Qualified personnel can independently create new labelling recipes. The search fields for certain features can be defined by setting a frame in the image area. Various options, such as PDF export, synchronisation with a database and different resolution and image capture variants, are available.
This inspection system for the pharmaceutical industry aims to ensure the correct information on product labels. The vision system carries out various checks, including checking the imprint within the defined area of the label, the legibility of the manufacturer's logo, and reading and checking variable texts such as expiry date, batch number and 2D matrix code.
The developed inspection system guarantees the correctness of labels for pharmaceutical products. In no industry is this more important than in this one. From checking the imprint to the legibility of constant and variable texts, such as expiry dates and batch numbers: Vision solutions from aerne engineering stand for quality and compliance.
