Sealed cartons. Properly. Consistently. Every one. Tape detection sees if the tape is there, if the tape is straight, if the tape covers the seam, and if the tape extends to both edges of the carton. The four classes of seal failure — missing, crooked, short, wrinkled — caught individually so the right operator gets the right alert.
A missing tape causes immediate spillage. A crooked tape causes spillage on the truck. A short tape (one side missing) causes spillage in the warehouse. A wrinkled tape causes labels to fall off. Each is a different failure mode and a different fix.
Most case-sealers run open-loop — the tape head fires and assumes success. We add a vision station immediately downstream of the sealer. Each carton is imaged before it leaves the sealer zone; the four failure classes are flagged individually; bad cartons are diverted by the existing pneumatic reject before they enter the wrap line.
Spec the IX-AS/01 inline with the case-sealer at design time. PoE+ powered, integrated lighting, dry contact + Profinet to the line PLC. Failure classes by sealer head, by hour, by SKU — all logged for OEE analytics. Operator alerted on tape-roll low, before the next carton fails.

AI evaluates seam coverage in four dimensions: presence, alignment, length, wrinkles.
Per-class diagnostic to PLC. Reject diverter fires for any failure class.
Per-head, per-SKU failure rates logged. Maintenance alerts when a head trends toward failure.
