Applications for Logistics Vision Systems

Package Inspection and Sorting

Vision systems rely on high-resolution cameras and algorithms to inspect packages for damaged labeling errors and compliance with shipping regulations. They identify labels, read barcodes/QR codes, and assess package conditions.

Printed character inspection on a film surface

Glare, which affects inspections negatively, is eliminated to enable stable inspections.

Tape presence inspection

Even when unexpected specular reflection occurs due to workpieces being tilted, the glare can be canceled, which makes it possible to perform stable inspections.

Automated Palletizing System Inspection

By automating complex tasks, reducing errors, and increasing processing speeds of goods, vision systems contribute to a more efficient, reliable, and responsive logistics network and are significantly enhanced by artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.
