We conducted a simple verification to detect "price tags" and "half-price stickers" on the packaging of daily necessities sold by a pharmaceutical company, and we received sample images for this purpose. Upon verifying the provided images, we found that it was possible to detect "half-price stickers" and "price tags" using the inspection function of 'DeepSky'. We conducted the verification by dividing the images into 13 labeled images and 26 unlabeled images. Since we are able to detect the stickers themselves, we can set up a counting configuration such that if even one "half-price sticker" is found, it will be marked as NG (not good), allowing us to determine pass or fail. 【Software Used】 ■DeepSky *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where we conducted a simple verification of outdoor drainage treatment at the request of a pharmaceutical manufacturer. Monitoring outdoors can be challenging due to factors such as the presence of power sources and changes in visibility depending on day or night. This time, the inspection was based on the images provided. By using the "Presence of Specified Color Inspection" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to make judgments in two inspection areas. We register the unacceptable colors in advance. If a registered unacceptable color is detected, it is set to fail. Our company offers a "Simple Evaluation Service" provided by technical staff free of charge. Additionally, we offer demo units for free rental, allowing you to experience the inspection software firsthand. 【Software Used】 ■EasyInspector (formerly EasyInspector) The current 'EasyInspector2' color package [Presence of Specified Color] can be inspected with 'EasyMonitoring2'. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case that was inquired about by an industrial equipment system manufacturer with whom we have previously done business. When the red light is on, it triggers an alert; the panel meter sends an alert at 10% below the set value, and the analog meter has a system that triggers alerts based on their respective settings. They were considering a setup where a camera is connected via wired LAN to a computer, which in turn is connected to a Patlite to sound an alarm. By using the "Meter Reading" function of EasyInspector, we were able to make determinations at two locations in 0.35 seconds. 【Software Used】 ■EasyInspector The current 'EasyInspector2' control panel and ControlPanel package [Meter Display Reading] can be inspected with 'EasyMonitoring2'. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

This time, the simple verification was requested by a chemical manufacturer, who sent us photos to consider whether we could perform image inspection for the opening and closing of valves and the monitoring of a 7-segment display. Using the "Presence of Specified Color Inspection" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to inspect one location of the valve opening and closing in 0.38 seconds. The setting is such that if there is a specified number of black pixels within the frame, or if there are none, it is considered OK. In the right image, the handle detected in green is not visible in the right image because the valve is open, so it is displayed as defective with a red frame. For the other 7-segment display, we used the "Meter Reading" feature to read a 5-digit number in 0.35 seconds. Due to the low contrast between the numbers and the background, the reading accuracy was unstable, and we may need to adjust the position of the camera and the meter in the future. 【Software Used】 EasyInspector (formerly EasyInspector) Current version: 'EasyInspector2' CL (color) package [Presence of Specified Color] CP (Control Panel) package [Meter Display Reading] can be used for inspection.

We will conduct a simple verification to check if the barcode reading and label display are correct. Using the "Comparison with Master Image" feature of EasyInspector, we conducted the verification with the samples provided, but there were many false detections when the labels were affixed to the trays, making it difficult to perform the inspection properly. Since we only received good products, the images of defective products were created by our company. Barcode reading was possible even when the labels were affixed to the trays. 【Software Used】 EasyInspector (formerly EasyInspector) The current 'EasyInspector2' color package can be used for inspection with the "Comparison with Master Image" feature.

Our inspection system is also in operation in the architecture and construction industry. We verified the reading of a 7-segment display meter. By using the "OCR" function of EasyInspector, we were able to determine 7 characters. The image itself was slightly blurred, and there were color inconsistencies in the image. When we extracted and processed a portion of the image that seemed easier to read, it was not processed very cleanly, but we were able to read it nonetheless. I believe that improving the imaging conditions would allow for clearer readings. [Software Used] EasyInspector710 (formerly EasyInspector) The current 'EasyInspector2' CP (Control Panel) package [Digital 7-segment display reading] can be inspected with 'EasyMonitoring2'.

There was an inquiry about wanting to remotely check the analog instruments in the factory. ■ Indoor Meters For indoor analog meters, I believe reading them is possible. However, if inspections are to be conducted at night, it is necessary to maintain consistent brightness between day and night. ■ Outdoor Meters Outdoor meters will likely require lighting. Additionally, even with lighting, there may still be variations in brightness and shadows between day and night. It seems necessary to install something to enclose the meter or a roof-like structure for the meter. Another reason why reading outdoors is difficult is due to power supply issues. By using EasyInspector's "Meter Reading" function, it was possible to read measurement values from one location. Regarding the difference in light intensity, the image on the right can be read, but the left image is misreading a different part as the needle, resulting in an incorrect judgment. Creating a stable imaging environment for reading is crucial.

The confectionery manufacturer in this inquiry is packaged in cardboard boxes, just like other industries. We will conduct a simple verification to check whether the manufacturing date is printed on the cardboard box. The EasyInspector software (traditional rule-based image inspection software) that you inquired about is primarily used by customers in the automotive parts and electronic circuit board sectors, making up half of our clientele. Additionally, it is utilized by a wide range of industries for tasks such as assembly verification and inspection of minor product dirt. We plan to use the EasyInspector feature called "Color Presence Inspection." This function allows us to specify an ink color and determine whether it falls within the specified range for a pass/fail judgment. In the left image, the specified color is detected as red, and a passing blue frame is displayed. In the right image, the specified color could not be detected, resulting in a failing red frame. It is also possible to conduct simultaneous inspections at two locations by using two cameras.

We received inquiries from an electronic equipment manufacturer regarding the display lights and meter readings of various control devices. We have decided to set up and report on six types of reading functions. The two images on the left and right utilize the "meter reading function." For the other three images, we determine pass or fail based on whether the color is detected when lit or not. However, I believe there is variability in how the lighting hits the upper and lower parts of the meter, so I think that illuminating the lower part, which tends to be darker, with bar lighting or similar would reduce misdetections. Regarding the other image we received, reading was possible with the image you provided. Additionally, some minor adjustment for misalignment is possible, but fixing the camera is essential.

EasyMonitoring2 automatically reads and records meter data simply by installing a network camera in front of the meter that needs monitoring, without requiring any additional actions. It eliminates the cumbersome tasks of visual checks, recording in ledgers, and re-entering data into Excel, thereby streamlining operations. Since it continuously monitors with a network camera, it eliminates the need for patrols and can obtain data as frequently as every few seconds to determine if there are any abnormalities. To eliminate the need for patrols, EasyMonitoring2 not only has a meter reading function but also possesses various features to identify valve positions, water leaks, turbidity, and other conditions typically checked visually. **Advantages of EasyMonitoring2** - Easy and quick implementation - A system configuration that is self-contained within the facility - Compatible with various network cameras - No operational costs due to a one-time purchase package - Supports condition checks for flames, liquids, and more - Utilizes deep learning (AI) *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

We received an inquiry from a company that produces labels and POP materials, and we will verify the printing defects. First, we asked them to visit our company for an explanation of our inspection software, leading to a simplified verification process. Our company also accommodates web meetings for those who cannot visit in person. To prevent the work's backing from lifting and affecting the inspection, we pressed down on it with a transparent glass plate while taking photos. If we took photos with the backing still lifted, we detected many discrepancies compared to the master. We covered the "comma" in the print with black to eliminate it and used the "comparison with master" feature of EasyInspector when it reappeared for verification. As a result, we were able to detect the comma. Since the detected value was less than 10 pixels, which is very small, if we want to detect such defects, we need to be careful about the position of the sample when placing it (to minimize misalignment) and avoid detecting discrepancies due to changes in lighting.

We received an inquiry from an industrial machinery manufacturer regarding wastewater treatment. We will inspect whether the treatment has been sufficiently completed. At SkyLogic, we research the latest technologies such as AI and IoT, transforming them into user-friendly products for our customers. For example, in the AI field, we offer DeepSky, which enables flexible recognition through deep learning, and in the IoT field, we have EasyMonitoring, which processes images from dozens of network cameras. By using the "Defect Inspection" feature of EasyInspector, we detect the processing status of the entire image at one location. When inspecting with EasyInspector, it is necessary to stabilize the imaging environment. Although we were able to detect it this time, we recommend using inspection software that employs AI (deep learning) for operational purposes. [Software Used] Software: EasyInspector310 (formerly EasyInspector) Current 'EasyInspector2' color package [Defect Detection] Inspections can be conducted with 'EasyMonitoring2'.

This is a request to conduct a simple verification of the reading from the panel located at the front of the device. We received an inquiry via email from a container manufacturer. They sent images to confirm the reading of seven search items displayed on the panel attached to the device, as well as the presence or absence of illumination. Reading such device panels can be considered a common case across various industries. Our inspection software can be of assistance in many different locations. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "OCR Pro" function of EasyInspector, we verified the reading of five displayed items. In the left image, each character was recognized individually, and it was read as "25." In the right image, the character spacing is narrow, making it difficult to recognize individual characters in the current display. There are various methods for determining illumination, but here we set it so that if the detection amount of gray is above the reference value, it is considered a pass; if it does not meet the reference value, it is considered a fail.

A customer, a high-performance plastic resin manufacturer, contacted us through our website regarding their concerns about the user manual inspection. They mentioned that due to the large amount of text and small font size, they are experiencing missed inspections and longer inspection times. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "Comparison with Master Image" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to cover 32 inspection items for the labels and make determinations. The inspection time during verification was approximately 15 seconds, but when we set up an overall inspection frame and performed more detailed "shift correction," it took about 2 minutes. 【Software and Equipment Used】 Software Used: EasyInspector (formerly EasyInspector) Field of View: Approximately 622 x 455mm Minimum Size of Inspection Target: 2mm Number of Inspection Points: 8 Camera Resolution: 14 million pixels Lens Focal Length: 12mm Distance from Lens to Product: Approximately 540mm Lighting: Two bar lights Distance from Lighting to Inspection Item: Illuminated from about 100mm above the left and right sides The current 'EasyInspector2' color package can perform inspections using the "Comparison with Master Image" feature.

This is an inquiry from a company that sells lighting fixtures. It is a simple verification to determine whether the LED chips, which are the source of the lighting, are of good quality (i.e., whether there are any defects). There is growing expectation for tools that promote automation and labor-saving in manufacturing lines by combining various inspection systems. We hope to be of assistance to our customers by applying our inspection software. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 The inspection item was positioned within the screen, and settings were made using the EasyInspector "Presence of Specified Color" inspection function. Additionally, the number of lit locations was set in "Counting Mode." The left image is an enlargement of the inspection results, where the green areas indicate the detected parts of the specified color, and the numbers represent the detected pixel count. The right image shows the imaging environment for this inspection.

The sensor manufacturer was considering automating the monitoring of digital 7-segment meter readings. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "Meter Reading" feature of EasyInspector, it was possible to read the red meter captured in monochrome. The readings for the other two colors were also completed without any issues in 0.14 seconds. While you were considering EasyMonitoring for the above readings, I believe it would be fine for periodic monitoring purposes. However, if you are looking to operate with triggers during inspections, it would be more suitable to build a system that combines EasyInspector with multiple industrial cameras. 【Software Used】 Software Used: EasyInspector (formerly EasyInspector) Current 'EasyInspector2' CP (Control Panel) package [Meter Display Reading] Inspections can be performed with 'EasyMonitoring2'.

By attaching cameras to the devices or equipment you want to monitor, the following can be achieved: ■ The monitored objects can be processed for images at regular intervals, allowing for the determination of normal/abnormal conditions and the recording of read values for each instrument, similar to human patrols. ■ The latest images and historical data of the monitored objects can be checked anytime from terminal devices within the LAN. ■ In the event of abnormal detection, images can be sent via email to multiple smartphones, and outputs can be triggered through buzzers or lamps. ■ A large number of cameras (from a few to about 100; for more, please consult us) can be set up, with multiple (from one to several dozen) reading and confirmation points configured within the images of each camera. ■ It supports socket communication with SCADA and is equipped with an interface that considers compatibility with existing production systems.

The general trading company that is developing a functional powder business has been using our inspection software for some time. This time, we will conduct a simple verification of powdered inspection items. Since we have already discussed the situation, operation methods, and requests in a web meeting, the future process will proceed smoothly. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 As a result of the verification conducted using the images of the samples we received, the "Meter Reading" function of EasyInspector was able to measure the amount of powder in the graduated cylinder in 0.09 seconds. To read an accurate value, it is necessary to level the powder, but if the average value when it is tilted is basically the value at the center of the graduated cylinder, reading the center will display an approximate average value. 【Software Used】 Software used: EasyInspector710 (formerly EasyInspector) The current 'EasyInspector2' CP (Control Panel) package can be used for inspection with the "Meter Display Reading" feature.

This is an inquiry from a manufacturer of automotive parts and accessories. I believe that clearly printing details such as model numbers and manufacturing dates on delivered products is a common practice across various industries. Our software includes basic functions for saving inspection results in CSV format or as images. It allows for the recording of which parts are associated with which product numbers, making it useful in various industries. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "OCRPro" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to read characters in 26 locations. The reading took 1.87 seconds. For characters, detection was possible using either the OCR function or the OCR Pro function, while for marks and logos, comparison inspection with master images was utilized. The images show differences in RGB and color tones in the "comparison with master image" settings. As for recording methods, results can be saved in CSV format or as images. Information like that in Table 2 will be recorded in CSV format.

The OCR reading printed on the chip capacitors of electronic component mounting boards is a feature of our inspection software that many companies utilize. Additionally, it is often capable of detecting damage to components, solder debris, and the presence of dirt. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "OCR" function of EasyInspector, there were parts of the IC chip's serial number that could be read by OCR and parts that could not. This verification was conducted in 2015, and it has since been upgraded to the "PCRPro" function, allowing for more accurate readings. As shown in the left image, readings can be performed by registering a dictionary and setting binarization, but it can be challenging if the characters are connected, lines are interrupted, or they appear as dots. Please try our EasyInspector to see how well it can perform binarization. 【Software Used】 Software Used: EasyInspector710 Field of View: No records Number of Inspection Points: 3 The current 'EasyInspector2' RD (ReaDing) package can inspect using 【OCR (Character Recognition)】【Machine Learning OCR】.

Manufacturers active in various fields, particularly in medical devices and welfare equipment, are considering our character recognition functionality. Reading the text on labels affixed to cylindrical parts is expected to be challenging, as the appearance of the characters may change depending on the angle. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 The inspection was conducted using the "OCR Pro" feature of the EasyInspector software. Four inspection frames were set, and a total of 32 characters were evaluated in 0.57 seconds. The left image shows the inspection frame, while the right image displays the detection frame after binarization. The evaluation was based on the provided photograph, but there are concerns about positioning due to the fact that the labels are applied by hand and the cylindrical shape of the parts. 【Software Used】 Software used: EasyInspector710 The current 'EasyInspector2' RD (ReaDing) package can perform inspections with [OCR (Character Recognition)] and [Machine Learning OCR].

This is an inquiry about inspection functions from a measurement equipment manufacturer. This time, we will explain the features of EasyInspector, which you can try for 60 days from our website. The inspection function can read text across various genres. Text reading can be done without selecting a font, and it is also possible to binarize the text or register it in a dictionary with learning capabilities. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 We have responded via email that inspection is possible using the "OCR Pro" feature of EasyInspector. It seems that "unreadable images" may require the use of lighting fixtures or shading. Our company proposes an all-in-one and simple operation inspection software aimed at "making it easy for field users to operate" to improve operational efficiency. 【Software Used】 Software used: EasyInspector710 The current 'EasyInspector2' RD (ReaDing) package can perform inspections with 【OCR (Optical Character Recognition)】 and 【Machine Learning OCR】.

Manufacturers of chemical products such as ink, like those in other industries, clearly indicate the manufacturing date and other details during delivery packaging. We conducted a simple verification of character reading for shipment management. Our image inspection software has the basic functionality to save inspection results in CSV format and images. This makes product management easier, and it is being utilized by various manufacturers. [Inspection Settings and Inspection Results] By using the "OCR Pro" feature of EasyInspector, it was possible to read 15 characters in two locations in 0.09 seconds. If the inspection is only to check for the presence or absence of printing, it is possible to configure a system for under 100,000 yen by combining the EI100 software with a commercially available web camera. Additionally, for automation, you can use our I/O unit or perform external control via socket communication or RS232C communication. The image on the right shows the detection frame for passing products, while the image on the right displays an enlarged view of the detection frame for failing products.

Residential equipment and home appliance manufacturers are considering our character recognition functionality. We conducted a simple verification by sending photos. Inspection settings and results: We confirmed that if the image quality is good with EasyInspector's "OCR Pro" feature, it is possible to read the text. We believe that if we can confirm that "there are lighting conditions under which all three workpieces can be read simultaneously," we can determine that inspection is feasible. There are two methods to verify these "conditions for good image quality": (1) Sending sample products for verification, which we will check. (2) Lending equipment for you to verify in your environment. Both methods are essentially free of charge. The left image shows the "Processing 1" screen where settings such as binarization can be configured. The right image is an enlarged view of the detection frame.

We received an inquiry from a manufacturer of infrastructure and medical devices, with whom we have had a business relationship for some time, regarding the reading of "assembly check sheets." The verification of check sheets can be applied across various industries, including situations in banks and government where handwritten input is required. Please consider promoting operational efficiency through image inspection. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "designated color comparison inspection" feature of EasyInspector, it was possible to determine the presence or absence of 21 checks in 0.5 seconds. The inspection time varies depending on the specifications of the PC used and the number of inspection points. The software used this time (EasyInspector) also has a version equipped with OCR functionality, but it does not support the reading of handwritten characters. (EasyInspector2 does support this.) 【Software Used】 Software: EasyInspector710 The current 'EasyInspector2' color package can inspect for the presence or absence of designated colors.

This is an inquiry from a trading company. We will verify whether it is possible to read the product name, JAN code, expiration date, and lot number printed on the outside of the cardboard using an industrial inkjet printer based on the images provided. This time, we have incorporated the images you provided into our software. Regardless of the industry, I believe labels are displayed at the time of delivery, and this is an example that can be applied across various industries. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 Regarding the reading of the barcode and other prints on the cardboard that you contacted us about, we have confirmed it with the images you provided. As a result, we were able to read QR codes, barcodes, dates, model numbers, etc., from a portion of the images provided, which falls within the scope that we can accept for free as a simple verification. By using EasyInspector's "Bar/QR Reading" function and "OCR function," we were able to make judgments at four locations in 0.54 seconds. The left image shows the inspection frame settings, and the right image shows the detection frame.

This is an inspection of product labels at a packaging materials manufacturer. The demand for inspection automation due to labor shortages has been increasing year by year. I feel that the situation where people cannot gather at factories due to the spread of the new coronavirus is further exacerbating this issue. Please consider automating inspections to facilitate smooth production management. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "Comparison with Master Image" feature of EasyInspector, we detected differences in position. Even for good products, variations in printing tilt, color intensity, size, etc., were detected, resulting in a "fail" judgment. It will be necessary to change the inspection software for future verification. 【Software Used】 Software used: EasyInspector710 The current 'EasyInspector2' color package can perform inspections using the "Comparison with Master Image" feature.

The manufacturer of the USB memory has the product model number printed in laser, and visual checks were conducted for issues such as fading, misalignment, or absence of printing. There was an inquiry regarding automation. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "OCRPro" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to successfully read the laser print of 9 characters in one location in 0.43 seconds.

This is an inquiry from a company we have been doing business with even before we started working on infrastructure systems. We sent samples for testing the reading of QR codes to verify the size at which they can be read. QR codes are commonly seen everywhere as highly practical codes. Our inspection software includes basic functions for saving inspection results in CSV and image formats. Our code reading functionality is utilized in various management tasks by manufacturers. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "Bar/QR Code Reading" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to read codes at two locations. The failure indicated in the left image shows that "QR width: approximately 33 pixels is unreadable," while "QR width: approximately 40 pixels is unstable." The pass shown in the right image indicates that "QR width: approximately 47 pixels is stable." We conducted several reading tests with a combination of a 14-megapixel camera and an 8mm lens. By setting the environment so that the width of one QR code is around 50 pixels, it was possible to read the code.

Samples have arrived from a customer who plans to incorporate the following inspections into the current line: inspection for the presence or absence of bottle cap shrink, inspection for the presence or absence of printing on the bottom of the bottle, complete inspection of labels' barcodes (two-dimensional transparent) within the inline labeler, complete inspection of barcodes on inner packaging boxes (black two-dimensional on coated cardboard), and complete inspection of barcodes on outer packaging boxes (two-dimensional black on cardboard). 【Inspection Settings and Results】 All three types of inspections were determined to be satisfactory. For verifying the presence or absence of text on the bottom of the bottle and the presence or absence of shrink, we used EasyInspector's "Specified Color Presence Inspection" feature. An inspection frame was set up for the bottom text, and it is configured to pass if white is detected within that frame. The inspection frame can also be set to a ring shape as an optional feature. The presence or absence of shrink is determined by the amount of direct reflection (white) from ring lighting. For reading the label barcodes, we utilized EasyInspector's "Bar/QR Code Reading" feature, which allows for reading barcodes with black on a white background or white on a black background, and the barcode can be rotated during processing for reading.

The road management company you contacted is using the 60-day trial service of EasyInspector, which can be downloaded from our company website. There were inquiries about the setup method and detection method. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "OCR Pro" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to make a judgment in 0.25 seconds for one location. After processing the images we received, we were able to read all of them to some extent, but there are parts where we had to forcefully read using certain settings. As seen in one of the images provided, if the last digit is not fully visible, the reading becomes unstable. To ensure stable readings, it seems necessary to enlarge the numbers a bit more. 【Software Used】 Software used: EasyInspector Currently, inspections can be performed with the 'EasyInspector2' RD (ReaDing) package [OCR (Optical Character Recognition)] [Machine Learning OCR].

We received a request for dimensional verification inspections from manufacturers handling various industries and products. This is an interim report on "feasibility verification." Our company provides various products and services for "cost-effectiveness" in manufacturing settings. Please feel free to share your company's challenges and themes with us. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 We took images of the sample products and measured their dimensions. We are reporting the logs of 10 measurements of the same item. The error when repeatedly inspecting the same item was approximately 0.0013mm. Regarding the measurement points, we currently measure the areas where the frame is applied in relation to the placed state. It is not possible to identify long/short or thick/thin areas from the image directly; however, it is feasible to measure one full rotation while rotating the image in increments and then adopt the maximum and minimum values from those measurements, but this would require the development of additional software. The image on the right is an enlarged view. 【Software Used】 Software used: EasyInspector

This is a request for consultation on "remote reading" of meters from a company engaged in improving water quality and ground conditions through numerical analysis. Since imaging conditions outdoors can be unstable due to factors like time of day and weather, it is crucial to establish a stable imaging environment. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using EasyInspector's "meter reading" function, we were able to determine two locations. In the left image, we were able to read the values, but it is necessary to verify what results will occur when the image points to values other than "2" or "8," or when the shape of the contents changes. The right image has a reading function for a rod-shaped meter, but in this case, the color difference is not very clear, resulting in a stringent setting value. If the brightness changes slightly, it is likely that the reading location will change. With some adjustments to the lighting, we might be able to relax the conditions a bit more.

In a manufacturer contributing to society through various data analyses, our inspection equipment from Company 7 is also utilized for meter readings. This pertains to a project involving the reading of a 7-segment display installed in a distribution board. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "Meter Reading" function of EasyInspector, it was possible to read the numbers displayed on two distribution boards. The image that is enlarged allows for the reading itself to be feasible. However, the image showing the entire view lacks sufficient quality for reading. Even in the readable image, the color is marginal, and I believe that with slight adjustments to the brightness, more stable readings could be achieved. 【Software Used】 Software used: EasyInspector710 The current 'EasyInspector2' CP (Control Panel) package can inspect the digital 7-segment display reading.

The company responsible for the energy-saving and new energy support department of the group company is experiencing issues with water leaks from the mechanical seal section of their pumps, and they reached out for consultation through our website. Our website offers trial versions of the image inspection software "EasyInspector," "EasyMonitoring," and "DeepSky." We encourage you to try them out to help resolve your issues. [Inspection Settings and Results] We imported the images you provided into our image inspection software and conducted an inspection. If the water droplet appears white against a black background, it should be easier to detect. However, if the surrounding environment is bright and the water droplet becomes transparent, it may become difficult to detect the transparent areas. We used the "Presence of Specified Color Inspection" feature in EasyInspector to detect and evaluate the glowing parts of the water droplets. It seems that operation with "EasyMonitoring" is also possible; this software can send notifications (with images) to your smartphone via email.

The fact that 'there are inevitably oversights by operators during visual inspections' can occur not only in factory production processes but also in other areas. This inquiry comes from an industrial machinery manufacturer, but the verification of check sheets filled out by humans is a common issue across all industries. [Inspection Settings and Results] We printed the data from the check sheet you sent and conducted tests. We verified the presence or absence of checks on paper. By using EasyInspector's 'OCR Pro' feature, we were able to read five holes or symbols in just 0.62 seconds. After a simple verification, we will conduct an in-house demonstration. Additionally, we offer a web video demonstration on our website, a 60-day trial software download, and a free evaluation service for inspection items, all aimed at providing information and support to help customers easily implement the inspection system. We look forward to your inquiries and hope you take advantage of the above services. If you have any requests or questions, please feel free to contact us anytime.

The sports equipment manufacturer has been using our inspection software overseas for some time. This time, we have questions regarding the settings for "matching numbers on label printing," "smudge detection," and "checking for the presence of instruction manuals." We have agents in Malaysia and China, and we also sell inspection software for use in overseas offices. Our inspection software includes basic functions for saving inspection results in CSV and image formats, which are useful for product management across various industries. [Inspection Settings and Results] By using the "comparison with master image" function of EasyInspector, it was possible to inspect the codes and prints on 16 labels in 0.28 seconds. In image inspection, the imaging environment is the most important factor. Regarding the reasons for a dark screen during inspection, please check the following: whether there are fluorescent lights near the inspection target (this is the most common external influence); whether there are moving machines (if there are motors using electromagnetic forces, such as AC servo motors, noise may occur); and whether there is a 100V switch (which can generate electromagnetic noise).

This is an inquiry from a metal processing manufacturer that has already implemented our solutions. They are engaged in various business developments and will conduct a simple verification of LED lighting inspection this time. In the free sample evaluation, we will first perform a simple verification using the samples or images provided and report the verification results. During the simple verification, we will evaluate whether the desired detection/judgment can be achieved using our internal equipment. If detection or judgment is possible in the simple verification, we recommend conducting a test (feasibility verification) assuming actual operation, where we will evaluate processing time and judgment accuracy. If feasibility verification is to be conducted, you can choose to continue with us (for a fee) or use our loaned equipment for verification at your company. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "Presence of Specified Color Inspection" function of EasyInspector, it was possible to determine the pass/fail of 48 LED locations. This time, capturing the light edges clearly was challenging, so we either reduced the exposure or narrowed the aperture to capture the particles as distinctly as possible. After that, we can only search for values that can be successfully detected while tightening the color judgment tolerance. We will summarize and report the setting values for reference, but please note that the environments differ between us and you, so having the same values does not guarantee the same results.

We have received a simple free evaluation to determine the types of tires, such as automotive parts. This time, we tried sending photos, but sending actual samples would provide the most reliable results. In that case, you will need to send several good products and the defective work you want to detect. Please contact us for details. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 The left image shows the annotation process (the task of enclosing the parts you want to teach). The right image displays the OK screen. The tire text is being evaluated by DeepSky. We also have the capability to record images and CSV files, making integration with surrounding systems easy. The number of detectable types that can be registered per product type ranges from 1 to 1000 (here, "types" refers to classification names used during annotation, such as "screw," "desiccant," "tomato," etc. If the number of detectable types exceeds 100, the detection rate may decrease.) 【Software Used】 Software used: DeepSky

In the automobile manufacturing process, buttons are installed, and when pressed, the operation begins. However, if the installation order is incorrect, the marks and operations may not match, leading to the possibility of shipping defective products. Such defects can result in significant losses for automobile manufacturers, so an image processing system was used to enhance accuracy. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 Using the "Color Comparison Inspection" feature of EasyInspector, specifically the "Comparison with Master Image," inspection frames were designated for the marks of four buttons to check if the mark images matched. The white marks were successfully identified against a black background. 【Software and Equipment Used】 Software Used: EasyInspector310 Field of View: 125mm x 170mm Minimum Size of Inspection Target: Approximately 20mm x 30mm Number of Inspection Points: 4 Camera Resolution: 1.3 Megapixels Lens Focal Length: 6mm Distance Between Lens and Product: Approximately 200mm Lighting: Not used The current 'EasyInspector2' color package allows for inspection using the "Comparison with Master Image" feature.

The numbers and alphabetic characters displayed on digital meters used by electronic and electrical equipment manufacturers are mostly in a 7-segment format. There was a need for software that could read those numbers and characters within a PC. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 Using the "OCR Pro" feature of EasyInspector, we trained the three alphabetic characters "C, H, K" one by one. Due to the limited display format, there were instances where similar characters were misrecognized, but by adjusting the sensitivity and retraining, we were able to correctly recognize the characters. 【Software and Equipment Used】 Software Used: EasyInspector710 Field of View: 160mm x 200mm Minimum Size of Inspection Target: Approximately 30mm x 50mm per character Number of Inspection Locations: 3 Camera Resolution: 1.3 Megapixels Lens Focal Length: 6mm Distance Between Lens and Product: Approximately 180mm Lighting: No record The current 'EasyInspector2' RD (ReaDing) package can perform inspections with [OCR (Optical Character Recognition)] and [Machine Learning OCR].

In the label manufacturing industry for product descriptions, there are many cases where numbers need to be printed. Even if we can detect smudges or black spots, it is meaningless if the printed numbers themselves are incorrect. Therefore, we considered introducing a function to recognize numbers to detect "character discrepancies" and "printing errors." 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "OCR Pro" feature of EasyInspector, we can read multiple lot numbers (corresponding to the number of characters) from a single inspection frame. For characters that are difficult to read, it is also possible to train the system to inspect them one by one. The image on the right above shows that the number "8306" has been successfully read. 【Software and Equipment Used】 Software Used: EasyInspector710 Field of View: 60 x 70 mm Minimum Size of Inspection Target: Approximately 5 mm Number of Inspection Points: 1 Camera Resolution: 1.3 Megapixels Lens Focal Length: 35 mm Distance Between Lens and Product: Approximately 360 mm Lighting: Indoor Lighting The current 'EasyInspector2' RD (ReaDing) package can perform inspections with [OCR (Character Recognition)] and [Machine Learning OCR].

This is an inspection where only the model number differs on the product label. Minor differences are often overlooked during visual checks. Inspections related to labels often involve reading and recording serial numbers using OCR functions, but there are also many operations that check whether certain parts, such as model numbers, are correct. This time, the inspection was to verify that the model number and cautionary notes were not incorrect, based on the images sent via email. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "Presence of Specified Color Inspection" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to detect differences in two locations and determine whether the visually similar label markings were correct in less than 0.10 seconds. 【Software Used】 Software Used: EasyInspector300 Inspection Locations: 2 The current 'EasyInspector2' color package can perform inspections for the "Presence of Specified Color."
