See, Inspect, Decide

Codes, plain text, and surfaces – Vision & AI make your marking measurable.

Vision & Quality Control

Machine Vision & AI for Industrial Marking

Vision systems check whether printed content such as best-before dates, batch numbers, barcodes, or DataMatrix codes has been applied correctly and is readable. AI algorithms complement traditional machine vision and can detect complex error patterns.

100% Inspection

Automatic inspection of every part instead of sampling. Results can be documented for audits and traceability.

Seamless Integration

Direct connection to TIJ printers, PLCs, robotics, and ERP/MES systems for real-time pass/fail decisions.

Vision & AI

Typical Vision Applications

Based on your products and line conditions, we configure the appropriate combination of camera, optics, lighting, and evaluation.

OCR / OCV

Reading and verification of plain text such as best-before dates, batch numbers, and article numbers. Comparison with target values from recipes or control systems.

1D / 2D Code Verification

Reading and quality assessment of barcodes, GS1 codes, DataMatrix, and QR codes immediately after printing.

Print Image Inspection

Comparison of the print image with reference layouts: detection of missing characters, incorrect positions, or distorted prints.

Surface Inspection

Detection of scratches, contamination, or incorrect labels on packaging, components, or labels.

AI Anomaly Detection

AI models learn typical good-part images and report deviations without needing to define every error type in detail.

Product Classification

Automatic assignment of products to variants, customers, or orders – including appropriate layout selection for printing.

Industries & Examples

Vision & AI are used wherever marking, product quality, and traceability are important.

Food & Beverage
Food & Beverage

Inspection of best-before dates and batch codes, verification of EAN and GS1 codes on packaging and containers.

Pharma & Medical
Pharma & Medical Devices

Verification of DataMatrix codes, serial numbers, and security features, including documentation for audits (e.g., UDI).

Automotive
Industry & Automotive

Reading and traceability of serial numbers, checking label positions, and detection of missing or incorrect labels.

Logistics & Shipping
Logistics & Shipping

Capture and verification of shipping labels, pallet labels, and unit codes for complete traceability.

Integration into Existing Lines

We view vision systems as part of the overall marking and automation solution – not as an isolated system.

  • Connection to TIJ printers, PLCs, robots, and conveyor technology
  • Interfaces to ERP, MES, and track-and-trace systems
  • Visualization of camera and inspection results
  • Export of statistics and inspection reports

From Feasibility Study to Solution

  1. Analysis & Image Capture – Capture representative product images and define inspection criteria.
  2. Feasibility Assessment – Initial machine vision and AI tests with your data.
  3. Concept & System Selection – Design of camera, optics, lighting, and hardware.
  4. Implementation & Commissioning – Integration into the line, printing systems, and controls.
  5. Fine-Tuning & Training – Optimization during operation and training of your team.
