Code Validation
A machine vision solution for code inspection is a complete in-line solution that verifies code presence, position and formation, and, where necessary, enables full code reading and matching. The system will automatically identify and reject containers or packages with missing, incorrect or unreadable codes to ensure only properly coded items reach customers.
- Date Code Verification: verifies that a code is present and is completely formed in the correct location.
- Batch Code Verification: ensures the quality of the printed batch information, thereby preventing customer consumption of expired products and focusing product recalls.
- Bar Code Verification: verifies that bar codes are readable and correct, enabling proper product tracking through the supply chain and for recalls.
- 2D Data Matrix Validation: verifies that information which is not human readable is still valid, and is properly decoded and understood by the quality system to enable proper product tracking through the supply chain and for recalls.
When integrated with Matthews iDSnet, the solution can not only check code presence and formation, but can also verify if it is the right code, thereby eliminating any coding errors.
