  • Optional Data Presence and Readability Inspection for Round and Oriented Products
    Product mislabeling is an easily preventable error. When the cost of mislabeled products reaching the marketplace is a product recall, the decision to implement procedures to prevent the error becomes an easy one. This is best accomplished through the use of automated vision inspection to verify product information on the label in production. But limited production space can present a problem when it comes to implementing such a solution. That is where the Product Data Check option for our Product Inspection systems comes in.
