If a problem is detected automatic pack rejects then segregate failed packs into different chutes.
A second camera can be added to inspect promotional flash labels to determine if the correct label is being used and positioned correctly for the PLU selected .
A third camera can also be used to inspect a base label and determine if it is the correct label for use with the top and flash label.
Vision technology offers a solution to the problem of emergency product withdrawls (EPW) demanded by your customers for failures on label information, or label stock usage.
