Vision & Code Inspection Systems
Cameras that read, verify and grade every code and label — and reject what fails.
Also called OCR/OCV systems, barcode verifiers and print inspection cameras.
What these machines do
A code is only useful if it is present, correct and readable. Vision systems check each product at line speed, compare what they see with what should have been printed, and remove non-conforming packs before they reach the customer.
A triggered camera with matched lighting captures each product. Software tools locate the code, read characters (OCR), compare them with the expected string (OCV), decode 1D and 2D symbols and measure print quality. Results drive a reject device and are logged for audit. Fixed-mount verifiers grade codes to ISO/IEC 15415 and 15416.
Typical options
- Air-blast, pusher or diverter reject
- Reject-confirmation and bin-full sensors
- Audit trail and user management
- Multi-camera 360° inspection

Process sequence
Trigger
A sensor fires the camera as each product reaches the field of view.
Illuminate
Strobed LED lighting freezes motion and controls reflections.
Analyse
Algorithms read, match and grade codes and check label position.
Decide
Pass or fail is issued within milliseconds.
Reject
An air blast or pusher removes failed products and confirms the reject.
Common questions
What is the difference between reading and verifying?
Can it check inkjet date codes?
Does it connect to the printer?
