OCR / OCV for Character Reading & Verification
On production lines, information such as expiry dates, batch codes (LOT), serial numbers and other printed characters must be correct and readable.
OCR and OCV systems automate the reading and verification of this information, allowing products and packaging to be inspected during production.
OCR - Optical Character Recognition
OCR recognizes and reads printed or engraved text such as dates, batch codes and serial numbers.
OCV - Optical Character Verification
OCV compares characters with the expected information to verify that the correct text has been printed on the product or packaging.
OCR / OCV applications in production
Expiry Date Inspection
Reading and verification of expiry or production dates on products, labels and packaging.
LOT Code Verification
Verification that the correct batch code has been printed and is readable.
Serial Number Inspection
Reading and verification of serial numbers for product identification and tracking.
Print Inspection
Detection of incomplete, incorrect or unreadable characters on products and packaging.
Engraved Character Reading
Reading characters that have been engraved or marked directly on components and products, depending on the application requirements.
Production line integration
The appropriate OCR / OCV solution depends on the type of characters, printing or marking method, product surface, production line speed and application conditions.
At Robovision, we analyze the application, select the appropriate equipment and integrate the system into new or existing production lines.
