Machine vision applications in the packaging sector have become a growing need for many manufacturers. Generally, the demand is to execute the quality control of each product on the line with the automation systems.For the products coming out of injection machine or filled bottles, while moving on the conveyor, many different tasks such as inspection, counting, reading barcode datacode, measuring (diameters, width, height, lenght) and detecting disorders can be done automatically with the machine vision systems.Laser marking, labeling, clasifying and sorting processes, which are frequently used in the packaging sector, can also be integrated with machine vision systems.

Logistics centers such as shipping companies, distribution centers, drug stores, warehouses or shipment warehouses are places where similar technologies are used. For logistics units, we have applications such as multi-barcodes/datacode reading, volume finding, measurement, and auto-tagging.

Application areas we have developed in packaging and logistics sector:

• Bottle, box, glass, plastic or metal and product controls
• Shape disorders
• Checks for injection errors, curvature and misalignment
• Crack, broken, wrinkle detection
• Package label, sign, barcode, data matrix control and reading
• Color Control
• Product Classification
• Dimension control: measure the size and volume of objects, boxes or packages
• Location Reporting: Routing robots for Pick&Place or paletteing applications
• Level Control: Verification of the fill level of the liquid in the bottle or containe
