PACKAGING

Machine vision for packaging inspection verifies that the correct product, packaging and label are used before goods leave the production line. Typical applications include checking label presence and position, printed text, best-before and expiry dates, batch codes, barcodes and DMC codes, as well as inspecting closures, seals, fill levels and packaging damage. Machine Vision Shop supplies industrial cameras, lenses, illumination, software and vision systems for reliable in-line packaging inspection.

Do it yourself. But not alone.

Packaging materials can vary in colour, print quality, gloss and shape, while labels, date codes and seals are not always presented in exactly the same position. Reliable inspection therefore starts with clearly defined acceptance criteria and representative samples of every relevant product and packaging variant. Machine builders, system integrators, start-ups and technical teams within production and packaging companies can use these samples to determine the required image quality, inspection method and system configuration.

 

Our product information and technical articles help you select suitable industrial cameras, machine vision illumination, optical filters and machine vision software. We also explain how to integrate a machine vision system yourself, while the Machine Vision Academy helps engineers develop the practical knowledge needed to configure, test and maintain their applications. For product-specific questions, we share our practical experience and, where appropriate, involve the product and application expertise of our suppliers. Your team remains in control of the development and maintenance of the packaging inspection system.
