Fixed Industrial Scanning
Food and Beverage Use Cases
Barcode Label Verification
Verify correct labels against master barcodes and check dates/lot codes with scans or optical character recognition (OCR).
Use By Date Checking
Ensure the correct use by dates are applied to your food and beverage products with optical character recognition (OCR).
Packaging
Ensure correct goods are packaged and distributed by automatically reading barcodes and grading packaging print quality.
Traceability and Process Automation
Count, route, sort, verify, and trace products to automate and error-proof your production and supply chain processes.
Case Code Reading
Confirm correct case codes for seasonal, special event, marketing, and time-sensitive casing and packaging.
High-Speed and Multi-Code Scanning
Read and decode barcodes fast and accurately, even on high-speed lines, at long ranges, at difficult angles, and more.
Robotic Palletization
Identify different product boxes and automatically route each box type to a specific diverter line for robotic palletization.
Machine Vision
Food and Beverage Use Cases
Label Quality Inspection
Inspect labels for presence/absence, content, print quality, position, orientation, and complex text requirements.
Package Seal Inspection
Inspect packages for proper sealing and detect when production variations or defects could cause packaging issues.
Bottle Cap and Fill Level Checks
Verify correct bottle fill levels, cap height, and skew; validate caps are screwed tightly to safety seals.
Foreign Material or Contamination Detection
Use contrast inspection to automatically detect and identify defects or foreign material in your products.
Cosmetic Defect Detection
Detect scratches, cracks, bubbles, color degradation, wrapping issues, and other defects on challenging surfaces.
Assembly and Kitting Checks
Check that all components are present in a product kit and that packaging inserts or leaflets are included.
