Code Inspection

EPIC Machine Vision specializes in machine vision systems that detect defects in product codes including lot and date codes, bar codes, matrix codes, RSS codes, commodity codes or other, custom manufacturing codes. EPIC's vision systems are capable of checking printed or laser etched codes and use OCV and OCR technology to read code on virtually all types of packaging along the assembly line including boxes, cans and bottles.

Working to achieve your manufacturing goals, EPIC will custom-design a vision system using proper lighting techniques that are exclusive to your package attributes, surface finishes and container shapes. Paying attention to these often over-looked details ensures code defects are found and rejected before products leave the plant. Inspecting product code is important for product tracking purposes as well as to ensure product recipes match containers and inventory remains accounted for.

Using 1D and 2D smart cameras, enclosures and a variety of different mounting and lighting strategies, EPIC's team of vision engineers integrate advanced software technology and reject controls to help manufacturers achieve code inspection objectives. Exceeding the standard capabilities of off-the-shelf code vision systems; EPIC's vision systems can handle almost any custom requirement including various sized containers, background materials, code colors, code languages and plant environment issues that would affect inspection.

EPIC'S EXPERTISE WITH CODE INSPECTION VISION SYSTEMS INCLUDES:

  • OCV/OCR
  • Barcodes
  • Matrix codes
  • Lot and date codes
  • Commodity codes
  • Code presence or absence
  • Code position
  • Code location

A DESIGN-BUILD APPROACH TO CODE VISION SYSTEMS

Using our Front-End Engineering approach, EPIC provides complete project management over our vision systems from concept development through installation. Proven successful, our approach ensures that manufacturers receive the correct code vision system needed to reach their goals. Custom-designed to fit with existing machinery and site conditions upon installation, our group of engineers has the knowledge and relevant understanding of how a code inspection vision system must be configured for success.

EPIC will guide your code vision system from concept to startup through all phases of:
