Manual checking when filling beverages – time-consuming and prone to errorsManual quality inspection, particularly in the packaging fi eld, is time-consuming and subject to errors. Multiple steps must be verifi ed, for example, whether the bottles are correctly capped and if the number of bottles in the boxes and cartons is correct. Also labels on beverage bottles need to be reliably detected during fi lling and handling. Between mere presence detection or simple information (e.g. is the fi ll date stamped in the right loca-tion) and correct location and orientation lies a wide range of tasks involved with fi lling. Manual inspection by persons can be tiring and inaccurate, especially at high production speeds. Such process steps can hardly be verifi ed without commensurate tech-nology.

Incorrect, damaged or wrongly packaged products result in: internal complaints, much scrap caused, for example, by use

of the incorrect packaging and repackaging of products additional load on the production lines resulting in a loss of

production effi ciency (reduced OEE) fi nancial losses and declining profi tability external complaints resulting in returns or even signifi cant harm

to company image

Industrial image processing for high cycle ratesTo ensure faultless production and quality, automated and reli-able systems are needed. Solutions from Balluff for industrial image processing ensure maximum quality already in the fi lling process. They perform optical quality inspections or detect and decode objects. With them you also meet the strict requirements of legal authorities as well as market demands for traceability of products in the respective process steps.

SmartCameras ensure high quality while increasing effi ciency and effectivenessOur SmartCameras ensure high product quality, which signifi -cantly increases effectiveness. They detect non-conformal products and can, for example, shunt dirty or damaged bottles completely out of the production process.

Our SmartCameras allow you to detect production mistakes early, improving quality control of the corresponding objects for an optimal increase in effi ciency. Flawless labeling and product packaging go without saying. Here, for example, they detect ma-chine codes, text and serial numbers, or errors in the packaging units and support process automation. Slow, manual and errone-ous inspections with high scrap rates and complaints processing are now a thing of the past.

SmartCameras – simple and intuitive The simple operation of our SmartCameras make it easy for you to integrate them into existing processes. SmartCameras are effortless to set up using any web browser, easily allowing for the generation of inspection programs and sending inspection results to the controller or a fi le server. The shape and features of the "good" product are easy to enter. The software, based on the in-dustry-proven HALCON algorithms and including all the tools you need, lets you operate the Balluff SmartCameras intuitively.
