Identification
MVTec's machine vision technologies enable machines to read bar codes, data codes and alphanumeric characters. This allows machine vision systems to identify different parts based on a unique feature. Bar codes as well as data codes (e.g., QR codes) have become prevalent in practically all industries. Manufacturers use this technology to prevent errors in inventory management, material flow, and as means for process and quality control monitoring.
Machine vision systems take on various tasks:
- Finding the position of the code
- Reading the bar or data code
- Determining the print quality (grading)
When it comes to the alphanumeric characters, the software finds the position of the text and reads the text.
Very specific application examples are:
- Authentication of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry
- Fully automatic dispensing and labeling systems for, e.g., pharmaceuticals
- Picking of parts and spare parts in logistics centers, e.g. in automotive industry
- Tracking of packages in logistics
- Bottle and can inspection with high speed in the beverage, canning and bottling industry
- Management of logistics centers and automated warehouses
- Reading printed packaging in the food industry
- Reading serial numbers on metal bottles in packaging technology
- Checking packages for correct identification codes and expiry date
- Automatic package identification in the warehouse with handwritten labels
