Inspection system for the pharmaceutical industry SIGNUM

in-line

The powerful greyscale system SIGNUM Print can be used for the inspection of complete print images (OCR/OCV) on a wide variety of packaging. This complete solution offers producers or packagers of a wide variety of products in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries the highest recognition performance in the ongoing packaging process at high speed. The recognition performance, the range of functions and the ease of use are in no way inferior to the outstanding feature-based character recognition. ■Inspection Criteria and Objects Fields of application: Small field applications, such as blister identification In-line single blister printing, such as late stage customisation Full-area foil printing Pouch machines Examination criteria of the prints: Presence Completeness Legibility Quality Inspected are prints in the form of letters, numbers and graphics – such as: Company information Product labelling Logos, pictograms or symbols 1D and 2D codes ■Advantages of Print Inspection The print inspection offers fast evaluation through intelligent character library. The OCV/OCR camera system is fully format-free. The method used by scanware is feature-based. However, scanware does not use every single character read as a comparison, as this would either be at the expense of evaluation time or accuracy. Instead, SIGNUM Print calculates a virtual character from all characters read and recognised as correct, which represents the average of all variants read. Thus, only one comparison needs to be made for each character to inspect its correctness and readability.
