The new HEUFT FinalView II LBL generates an all-round panoramic view of each individual bottle for a complete label inspection. Now it also realizes a genuine teach-in of new labels in order to ensure short changeover times for full line availability even with a high variety of types.
The device checks the presence and correct positioning of all the labels. Four securely housed high-performance cameras on two levels each generate an undistorted 360° panoramic view of each individual bottle in combination with adaptive LED lighting and intelligent HEUFT reflexx A.I. real-time image processing on which unlabeled empty spaces are just as clearly recognizable as incorrectly positioned or skewed labels.
Labels with off-brand coloring, wrinkles, tears, defects, missing design elements or a poor print image are identified just as reliably. The system even distinguishes labels that differ from one another on the basis of just one tiny feature. Non-critical characteristics such as a slight print offset can be taught as good with the HEUFT reflexx A.I. technology so that they no longer lead to rejection.
The intelligent image processing now even realizes a genuine teach-in of newly introduced labels. A reference image file only has to be digitally transferred to the HEUFT FinalView II LBL when the bottle shape is known and the system has already memorized its typical characteristics so that labels of a different type which deviate from the intended appearance of the original due to only one design element for example can be rejected. The HEUFT reflexx A.I. rectifies, optimizes and analyzes images for this purpose - and compares them with the taught-in reference image in real time. The commissioning of new types is therefore just as quick and easy as the automatic changeover from one to the other. Downtimes are minimized and plant availability is noticeably increased.
