Is your production line ready for inspection?

Quality inspections are a critical requirement for all manufacturing and packaging lines. Being able to identify defective products before they are shipped to customers can bring significant savings in both time and money. It prevents costly product recalls, wasted production and potentially expensive legal costs.

For perishable products – from food to pharmaceuticals – quality inspection of the packaging is also vital. An unreadable barcode or a wrong expiry date could lead to perfectly good products being discarded. And increasingly strict legislation is making clear marking a top priority for all types of products.

Omron's FH vision system helps improve efficiency and quality in production lines

Automated sensory inspection has been a challenge for automation for years Automation inspections are introduced to find scratches and dents on products, but these may overlook unexpected defects or recognize light stains as defects and over detect defective products. Over detection leads to secondary human inspections as well as overlooked products escape to post-processes decreasing yields. The introduction to automated sensory inspections takes time, resources, and expertise. Omron solves these issues through its vision sensors using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. The FH Vision System Series reproduces human sensibility and experience with AI technology. The FH Vision System Series has an inspection algorithm using AI or AI Fine Matching installed. AI Fine Matching detects only the features not found on good products as defects. Training with images of various good products builds an AI model that helps automate inspection processes. The more the various good images you provide, the better the inspection accuracy. In this way, the AI model learns about variation in the shape and color of good products. An AI model misses no tiny scratch or dent. The AI Fine Matching enables streamlining the inspection flow and reduces the number of inspections preventing overdetection and wasteful secondary inspections. AI Fine Matching improves yields by preventing the overlook of defective products that escape to post-processes. Learn more about FH Vision System Series:

Cap Inspection | FH-series Vision System

Automated sensory inspection has been extremely difficult to automate for a long time. An automated inspection system may over detect by flagging good products as defective under strict criteria to prevent defective products from being marketed. The implementation of automated inspection requires adjustment for different bottles and caps. Because the transfer of setup and adjustment knowledge to other inspection lines hinders the adoption of automated inspection, many manufacturers give up on the idea. OMRON solves these issues by combining its powerful vision sensors with artificial intelligence. OMRON offers the best combination of camera and controller for your inspection systems in terms of precision, speed and cost. The FH-series vision system reproduces human sensibility and experience with AI technology. Learn more about FH-series Vision System here: Learn more about FH Smart Cameras here:

AI Filter | FH-series Vision System

OMRON is using artificial intelligence to reproduce the visual sensitivity and experience of human inspectors. The AI filter detects scratches with human-like sensitivity. Using an AI filter equipped with defect extraction technology, only the points that are estimated to be scratches with be automatically extracted. The AI algorithms extract the scratch itself, rather than the definition based on colour and brightness. This makes defect detection much more stable flaw. The AI filter eliminates missed defects and AI Fine Matching avoids overdetection almost entirely. No special environment construction or expertise required. OMRON offers the best combination of camera and controller for your inspection systems in terms of precision, speed and cost. The FH-series vision system reproduces human sensibility and experience with AI technology. Learn more about FH-series Vision System here: Learn more about FH Smart Cameras here:
