Image verification system boosts QC

Published: 1-Apr-2003


Industrial Automation Systems (IAS), of Bristol in the UK, has launched a sophisticated systems-based approach to image recognition and verification that can determine errors on a wide range of different production units against a determined image ideal.

The Accu-pac IVC (Integrated Verification and Control) is a modular system that has been developed to quality check high-speed labelling and packaging applications. The benefits include time-efficient 100% quality checking, as opposed to random checking, and cost-savings by eliminating rejected or wrongly used products.

Unlike simple, 'pre-set' image recognition devices, the Accu-pac IVC system uses an operator-controlled touch-screen and new image requirements, such as different pack sizes and new label designs, can simply be 'taught' into the system and saved to a code.
