Overview

Client Overview

The client is a pharmaceutical facility with high-speed packaging lines where label accuracy, batch traceability and regulatory compliance are critical. Manual inspection could not keep up with rising line speeds.

The challenge

Operational challenges

Manual inspection errors at high line speeds
Incorrect or missing labels and batch information
Difficulty validating expiry dates and OCR data in real time
High false-rejection rates affecting throughput
Strict regulatory compliance requirements

Solution

What was implemented

A high-speed machine vision system performs real-time inspection, OCR validation and defect detection at line speeds above 300 packs per minute.

Label verification

Automated checks of label placement, orientation and artwork.

OCR and expiry validation

Real-time inspection of batch number, expiry date and regulatory text.

Defect detection

Detection of print defects, smudges, missing text and packaging damage.

Visibility

Dashboards and views

Real-time pass / fail statistics
Defect categories and trends
Image archive for audit and traceability
Line speed and inspection performance

Results

Benefits

Improved compliance and audit readiness
Reduced manual inspection effort
Higher throughput without losing inspection accuracy

Conclusion

The machine vision system brought consistent, high-speed inspection to the packaging line and supports future production demands.
