The main requirement here was that a product could be selected from the HMI which was about to be produced and the vision system had to check whether the stickers on the front and back matched.
Vision Partners provided a turn-key vision system for this purpose where the back of the label was checked against the barcode and the front of the label through the oil designation such as 5W40, 5W30 or 10W40 etc. including the brand logo.
Because the brand logo and the oil indication are in constantly changing places, the operator is asked to indicate this position once at the start of a new product via the HMI so that these are taught in with that specific product. As soon as this product is produced again at a later time, the operator only has to select this product from the list and control can be started immediately.
Vision Partners also developed a frame which could be placed as a whole over the conveyor belt so that the integration time on site was minimal. After training the operators in setting up the vision system, it was delivered and has been successfully in operation for many years.
