Detect cosmetic defects on challenging food and beverage packaging surfaces
Why detect cosmetic defects? One of the biggest challenges when dealing with cosmetic, or surface, defects on food and beverage packages is that they are dynamic, often caused by the forming process. Typical defects like hits, scratches, or stains may be indiscernible during early production. These defects only become visible under specific lighting conditions later in the production process. While the cost of late detection can be painfully high, so can false rejects. This inspection is especially important in regulated industries where poor packaging quality can lead to recall events or customer complaints.
Conventional vision technology can often miss complex cosmetic packaging defects such as bubbles in labels, color degradation, scratches, cracks, overprint, and over-wrap or under-wrap issues. These types of unpredictable defects or variations are easy to discern by human inspectors, but very difficult to program with rule-based machine vision algorithms.
The High-Mark Data Pro Systems is a Multi-Camera Industrial High Performer
The Data Pro System is a full-standing model that’s about 4′ tall. Additionally, as the most advanced and feature-rich scanner, it offers a wide array of customizability and functions to meet a variety of production needs. The Data Pro 6 is our finest model that with multiple cameras allows for full 360° scanning of intricately shaped objects.
As with our other systems, it can have the option of a force rejection system, and with its visual on-screen indicators, missed bar-code reads and defective items are easily identifiable.
The defect detection tool catches defects on coarse material with standard illumination, even when image quality is poor, by forming a reliable model of the shape and texture based on training images. It also identifies deviations in the surface texture as anomalies and can reject the item or shut the system down in cases of anomaly repetition. Consistently delivering high-quality products can translate to happier customers and loyalty.
