To present food neat and appealing for the customer, flawless packaging is very important. The wrapping is not only to protect the product during transport; packaging also is important in the placement of the product on supermarket shelves.
In one current application, EVT’s EyeCheck 1xxx series was used to inspect bags of separately wrapped candies to make sure that they did not slip into the heat-sealed ends of the bag. With the drag-and-drop functionality of the software, the customer can easily create their own inspection program without programming skills. Additionally, the user can add color inspection commands to the software and then the candies can also be inspected for the correct colors.

The EyeSens systems from EVT can now also serve as an OPC (Open Platform Communications) server. The OPC standard allows the EyeSens sensors and the EyeVision software to function as OPC server. Detected data such as measured values are now easily sent to a client. The user can determine which data should be sent to the OPC client using the standard interfaces, RS232 or Ethernet. As with other EyeVision software operations, the OPC integration is possible with the drag-and-drop function.
