Case study of introducing automation for appearance inspection *Case study of automating label printing condition inspection

Case study on the automation of visual inspection to check for printing defects, smudging, fading, and barcode conditions in label printing!

Regarding the confirmation of the printing state of labels output from the label printer, such as printing content, smudging, and blurring, would you consider switching from "visual inspection" to "automated inspection using a camera"? We would like to introduce a system that installs a camera and lighting between the labels output from the printer and the winding mechanism to capture images and conduct inspections. In this system, for the labels printed by the printer, we first teach the system the state of a good label and then perform comparisons to inspect various printing defects all at once. Additionally, it is also possible to verify whether the correct values and information are recorded for lot numbers and barcodes. 【Features of this system】 - By conducting inspections immediately after printing, it allows for quick responses to issues with the printing device. - By recording the image of a good label initially, it can accommodate various types of labels. - It simultaneously checks not only printing defects but also the content of printed information such as lot numbers. *First, we will verify whether the work desired by the customer can be inspected. *Detailed processing information and flow are included in the PDF.
