Solution

Our team implemented an advanced computer vision solution, customly created for label inspection in the manufacturing process. By leveraging cutting-edge algorithms and image processing techniques, we achieved an impressive 150% increase in production capabilities, enabling the inspection of 30 candy jars per minute compared to the previous rate of 12 jars per minute. Our goal was to optimize the speed of the label inspection process while ensuring precise label placement directly above the candy jar emblem. The focus of our solution was to accurately detect and verify if the label was applied in alignment with the candy jar emblem.

Challenges

‍

Optimizing for high-speed inspection without compromising accuracy

One of the main challenges we encountered was achieving a balance between speed and accuracy during the label inspection process. Our team fine-tuned the computer vision algorithms and hardware setup to ensure fast and reliable identification and validation of labels without compromising quality.

‍

Adapting to multilingual and international requirements

Considering the diverse customer base of the luxury candy manufacturing plant, it was important to implement a system that could efficiently sort labels based on languages and countries. Our solution integrated language detection algorithms and country-specific label categorization to effectively meet these requirements.
