Automated quality control for food packaging
In the food industry, ensuring that each package meets quality standards is vital. Traditional methods often require separate systems for label inspection, serialization, and contaminant detection, leading to inefficiencies.
Integrates label inspection, serialization, and contaminant detection
The ALL-IN-ONE system from Antares Vision Group is an advanced solution that combines multiple quality control steps into one compact unit. It features three distinct visual inspection technologies. A camera below the conveyor inspects labels and codes on the underside of packages, while a second camera above the conveyor checks labels and codes on the upper side. The system reads various code types including alphanumeric, QR-code, and Datamatrix, assessing label presence, readability, and alignment. It also confirms the match between upper and lower labels. Additionally, hyperspectral technology identifies organic contaminants in the sealing area, even through opaque packaging. The system supports serialization through the Track & Trace platform and offers a configurable reject mechanism. It minimizes footprint and energy consumption, and operates with a centralized user interface for streamlined operation.
