Appearances can be deceiving
The barcode on your packaging may look fine, but is it readable? Barcodes, expiration dates and other marked or printed information on packaging should always be legible. Unreadable barcodes, poorly printed date and lot codes, or otherwise faulty packaging, can all result in returned shipments, fines, or even a product recall. Achieving consistent print quality can be a challenge, especially on packaging lines due to substrate quality, motion, and low mark contrast. Also, a wrong lid can be placed, or a wrong film entered, into the packaging machine due to human error.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss how machine vision can help you prevent errors, monitor barcode quality, verify codes, and detect printer issues before problems arise with inline barcode verification and inspection solutions using Microscan’s AutoVISION™ product suite.
Human errors can be avoided by matching a barcode or OCR text to a barcode with barcode readers or smart cameras. An inline machine vision inspection solution is a cost effective and reliable way to ensure consistent print quality and legibility with greater reliability than random sampling. Even if you catch just one error before the product is shipped, the investment will pay for itself.
Join our webinar and learn how you can address print quality issues before they become serious problems.
