Today’s consumers are more and more aware of quality, especially when buying food or pharmaceuticals. Overall package appearance can be a big purchasing decision criterion. Sufficient inspection of the packaging reduces errors and thus increases the customer’s confidence in the product, and ultimately sales.

EyeVision software from EVT is the evaluation software behind the smart cameras and PC- based machine vision solutions. Together with hardware that supports EyeVision, such as the EyeCheck smart camera series, several inspections can be carried out to assure packaging quality.

The visual inspection not only detects errors in transparency film and heat-sealed joints, but also the correct position of printed backing film and labels. Additionally the system can check the expiration date, as well as the bar code and the print layout.

FSI Technologies is the North American partner for EVT and EyeVision software. You can visit us both at the Automate 2015 show at McCormick Place, March 23-26, to discuss your packaging quality needs or any other machine vision application.
