Flawless packaging control, camera-based automatic inspection.

In the project implemented at ORKIDE's factory in Izmir, operating in the food sector, a camera-based quality control system was installed on the produced products. The project was carried out to automatically inspect that certain components (labels, caps, etc.) on the products are complete.

Packaging assurance in oil filling lines

In the project implemented at ORKIDE's factory in Izmir, operating in the food sector, a camera-based quality control system was installed on the produced products. The project was carried out to automatically inspect that certain components (labels, caps, etc.) on the products are complete.

Automating and standardizing quality control processes is of vital importance in terms of protecting brand prestige and preventing defective product output.

Needs / Problems

Missing components and manual control risks

It was necessary to reliably check that components such as labels and caps were complete on the produced products. Conducting this control manually carried the risk of errors; defects like missing labels or caps going unnoticed posed a risk for quality and customer satisfaction.

  • 01Missing Cap/Label DefectsThe risk of missing caps or labels going unnoticed during the high-speed flow of the line.
  • 02Defective Product ShippingThe possibility of products with defective packaging being packed and reaching the customer.
Solution

Automatic vision system with presence-absence detection

A camera system was installed on the production line, and presence-absence checks were automatically performed on the products. The camera checked if components such as labels and caps were present, detecting missing or defective products. Thus, the quality control process was removed from operator initiative, becoming automatic and consistent.

01

Product Detection

The product is triggered when it enters the camera field of view at the quality control point.

02

Image Processing

The camera system captures the product image instantly and starts component verification.

03

Presence Check

The software analyzes if the label and cap are present in the designated locations.

04

Defective Rejection

If a missing or defective component is detected, the system takes rejection action via PLC.

Technology / Equipment Used

Camera-based automatic inspection architecture

VISION

Camera-Based Control Unit

Industrial smart camera system verifying cap and label presence at high speed.

AUTOMATION

PLC Field Architecture

PLC managing the rejection cylinder and line flow according to image analysis results.

HARDWARE

Sensors and Triggering

Industrial sensors ensuring the camera captures images with precise timing.

SOFTWARE

Central Monitoring Interface

Software where quality control statistics and defective product data are monitored in real time.

Integrations

Central Quality Tracking Systems Integration

The system is integrated with the customer's existing systems; inspection results are shared with these systems, allowing the quality control process to be monitored and managed centrally.

Quality ReportingThe type and frequency of defects such as missing caps or labels are instantly recorded in the central database.
Benefits / Results

Flawless product output and consistent inspection

Zero Defect Outflow

No products with missing labels or caps are allowed to leave the factory.

Standardized Quality Control

Inspections are carried out 24/7 with the same sensitivity, independent of human initiative.

Traceability Report

Deviations in production machines can be detected early thanks to defective product statistics.
