date/Lote Code Verification

Many food and beverage packaging applications require date/lot code verification to ensure that the date/lot code is printed correctly and legibly.

After the date/lot code is printed on frozen dinner carton magazines, they move down the conveyor as the date/lot code is inspected. The food and beverage industry requires a reliable, cost-effective sensing to ensure these codes are correct and legible to help prevent packaging errors.

Banner Engineering’s rugged PresencePLUS P4 Sealed OMNI vision sensor works well for date/lot codes because it uses Optical Character Verification/OCV inspection to ensure the correct day and lot code are printed legibly. With an IP68-rated housing, the sensor is ideal in food and beverage applications because it can withstand harsh wash-down environments.

YOUR BENEFITS

  • Ensures the product meets industry requirements without slowing the production
  • Uses Optical Character Verification for reliable detection
  • Withstands harsh wash-down environments because of IP68-rated housing

  • Date/Lot Code Verification with Banner’s Rugged PresencePLUS P4 Sealed OMNI Vision Sensor

The P4 OMNI sensor easily locates the region of the carton magazine that needs to be inspected for date/lot codes by verifying the edge of the box. With high-speed sensing at up to 2,000 parts per minute (PPM), the P4 OMNI quickly and accurately tests the information against the acceptable pass criteria and indicates the status of the results with highly visible LED indication or communicates the results to a PC.

Banner’s P4 OMNI is available with either a lens cover or integrated IP68 Ring Light and features a 640 x 480 CCD imager for stable imaging detection. Standard vision tools such as Locate, Geometric Find, Edge, Blob, Average Grayscale, Geometric Count and Measure are included with the P4 OMNI.
