Challenge: Verification of date print presence on different bottle types travelling along a production line.
A vision system for detection of often poor date prints on bottles of different colours and sizes had to be developed. An additional difficulty in developing the project was the fact that dates are printed on various parts of the bottle, e.g. on the stopper or at the edge of the label.
Solution: In collaboration with Wise Technologies Sarajevo, our engineers developed a LabVIEW product using National Instruments LabVIEW vision libraries. The developed software runs on a PC connected via a fireware cable to Basler industrial cameras and optics. The system is set to acquire quality images and recognise date prints.
Error alerts and a connection to the production line were also added.
