Every batch number, date code, lot ID, and serial that leaves your line — captured, read, validated against the manufacturing record, and logged with image evidence. Reads fonts your eye struggles with; validates checksums and formats your eye can't compute; flags mismatches before they become recalls.
It's a recall, a regulatory event, an audit trail. Operators can't keep up at line speed; manual sampling catches one in a thousand. The IX-OV/03 reads every code, validates every format, and writes every verdict — at 600 packs per minute.
Many plants already have a basic OCR camera reading codes. The problem is what happens after the read: most existing systems just compare against a single golden string with no awareness of date format, checksum, or batch logic. We connect to your existing camera over GigE Vision, EtherNet/IP, or a frame-grab, layer our OCR + validation engine on top, and route the verdict to your existing PLC.
A new line gets the IX-OV/03 — a complete OCR vision station designed for the job. 12 MP area-scan body, project-tuned optics, integrated lighting, 12 pre-trained fonts, 10 pre-built code formats, and PLC integration in the protocol you already use. First inspection on day one of integration.
Trigger fires. Camera captures at the moment the code passes the inspection window — 12 MP global shutter, no motion blur.
OCR engine reads the code against the configured font. Confidence score per character, full-string consensus.
Format check, calendar check, checksum check, per-SKU range check. Diagnostic codes for read-fail vs validate-fail.
Pass/fail to PLC in <150 ms. Image + result + timestamp written to audit log for retention period.
Tell us your line, your existing equipment, and your tolerance window. We'll come back with a retrofit assessment, a greenfield specification, and a rough cost estimate within two business days.
