Ensuring proper sealing and legible batch codes on product packaging is crucial for maintaining both product integrity and regulatory compliance. BT Print’s Flap and OCR Detection System is a dual-function AI-powered solution that combines flap quality inspection with high-speed Optical Character Recognition (OCR) — using a single camera setup for efficient, space-saving implementation.
This advanced system is designed for high-speed production lines across industries such as FMCG, pharmaceuticals, and food & beverage, where packaging quality and accurate code printing are non-negotiable.
How It Works:
- Edge Detection Algorithms analyze the fold and seal quality of the flap to detect misalignment, curling, or improper closure.
- Simultaneously, the OCR module reads printed batch codes, MRP, expiry dates, and other critical information.
- If the flap is defective or the printed code is missing/illegible, the system triggers a rejection mechanism to remove faulty products from the line.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Dual Inspection in One Camera - Combines flap quality detection and text recognition in a single vision unit, reducing hardware and integration costs.
- AI-Based OCR for Batch Code Inspection - Capable of reading various fonts, text alignments, and print types — even in challenging lighting or glossy surfaces.
- Real-Time Defect Rejection - Instantly removes packets with flap issues or batch code errors, improving product quality and minimizing recalls.
- Adaptable to Multiple Product Lines - Supports packaging of varying shapes and sizes — boxes, pouches, blister packs, and more.
- Custom Rule Setup - Define critical and non-critical areas for both flap and code verification. Create dynamic validation criteria based on SKU.
- Data Logging & Analytics - Track pass/fail statistics, rejection rates, OCR accuracy, and flap defect trends to support continuous process improvement.
- Reduces Manual Inspection Load - High-speed automated inspection drastically lowers the need for manual checking, increasing throughput and consistency.
Whether you're packaging biscuits, medicines, or personal care products, the Flap and OCR Detection System ensures that every product leaves your facility with flawless sealing and traceable codes.
