Vision systems find application in numerous phases of the packaging process, both on the product and on the primary, secondary and tertiary packaging.

Specialvideo solutions allow you to verify:

Quality control automation reduces operator dependency, increasing process stability and improving overall line efficiency.

The increasing automation of processes and the frequency of format changeovers make the use of industrial vision systems capable of rapidly adapting to different configurations essential, reducing errors, waste, and machine downtime.

For over three decades, Specialvideo has developed vision systems tailored to specific customer needs and product characteristics, ensuring reliable control and seamless integration with the production line.

A history of field experience, beginning with quality control of silkscreen printing on bottles and vision systems for case packing machines. This experience continues to evolve with special applications for pharmaceutical and food packaging.

Industrial vision systems for the packaging sector are designed to integrate seamlessly into the machine cycle and operating logic of automatic lines.

Vision system design begins with a study of the available space in the existing machine layout and a review of communication protocols. This is followed by selecting the computer vision technology to be applied in the field, including a lighting study and the choice of camera and optics.

Lighting selection is Specialvideo’s technical expertise, and lighting design is a critical and fundamental step in implementing robust and reliable automated inspection. We have the skills and experience to deploy industrial lighting and cameras, selected based on the characteristics of the packaging material and the potential product defects that need to be highlighted, even in the context of multi-spectral analysis.

Particular difficulties due, for example, to unpredictable morphologies of welding defects or irregular edges, can be solved by using neural networks integrated into robust and configurable industrial systems.

Machine vision systems generate valuable data for monitoring and improving packaging processes. Captured images and inspection results can be collected and archived, allowing for a comprehensive view of line performance.

The structured availability of this data supports production monitoring, waste root cause analysis, and continuous process improvement.

In the packaging sector, robot-guided vision systems enable the automation of operations such as pick & place, sorting, and product orientation.

Machine vision allows the robot to recognize the position and orientation of objects, even in the presence of variability or frequent format changes.
