Code Inspection
The code inspection of the SIGNUM series enable the inspection of ring codes, bar codes, 2D codes such as DataMatrix, but also large-area prints including optical character recognition (OCR). The evaluation offers a precise error analysis and functions for optimising the readings.
Code Inspection
The inspection of a wide variety of print types on packaging and products is a core area of the scanware product range. Whether in combination with blister inspection or as a stand-alone solution, SIGNUM inspection systems flexibly and reliably meet your requirements and are the perfect solution for the inspection of codes, texts and graphics in your company.
■Types / Components of Code Inspection
SIGNUM 1DC code inspection on convex surfaces takes place between tube infeed and tube filling. The system checks printed one-dimensional codes, both single and multi-coloured, as well as print marks on aluminium and plastic tubes. This prevents tubes with incorrect printing from being filled in the first place and increases productivity on the line.
The code readers of the SIGNUM 2DC family are used for the inspection of codes. The intelligent cameras evaluate prints of 1D and 2D codes with exceptionally high reading performance.
A complete solution for inspection of the print (OCR) on packaging materials in the ongoing packaging process, equipped with the recognition performance, range of functions and ease of use of a modern image processing system.
■SIGNUM System overview
■Advantages of scanware Code Inspections
All scanware systems are based on the same operating structure. This offers a high level of safety thanks to user-oriented operation, guided learning and precise software that enables the user to implement inspection and improve productivity even without prior knowledge of various codes. The relearn function allows the operator to quickly and easily monitor the packaging process.
Based on the QNX® real-time operating system, the algorithms work breathtakingly fast and offer a variety of parameters that optimally support your inspection task. And with the in-house developed user interface, both teach-in and operation are intuitive and of course fully 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.
The high speed, integrated illumination and outstanding software make the systems the best of their kind.
Highlights
OCR system SIGNUM HR can be used on pouch machines as well as for recognition of print on tablets
Copy function for fast character teach-in and error analysis in format testing
Format-free and feature-based, i.e. a character library is taught-in during installation, which calculates a virtual character from all read-in, correct characters for the fastest possible evaluation.
Thanks to real colour detection instead of a smart camera, the SIGNUM CL ring code inspection offers maximum security and a convenient circumference of software functions such as different colour settings for inspection of label and colour rings in the same step.
Inspection criteria
Ampoules: Number of colour rings, ring colours, sequence of rings, ring widths, ring distances
Vials: inspection of presence and colour of cap
Parallel to this in each case presence and colour of the label in one step
