AI optimises packaging processes: highest quality, maximum efficiency

18.03.2025

In addition to the inspection of packs, labels and print, AI-supported vision systems can also meet the requirements for quality control and identification of food products. They can even classify products according to defined criteria, as well as inspect portions and check packs for correct content and completeness. This means that they make a crucial contribution to increasing line efficiency, and therefore also raising the production capacity.

Precise and consistently reliable inspection and identification of products or packs

“Our AI-supported vision systems are configured individually, and they are integrated seamlessly into the customer's processing or packaging operation,“ explains Christine Oehls, Product Manager for VisionSystems at MULTIVAC Marking & Inspection. “The path to an AI-supported vision solution begins with intensive consultation and a feasibility study for the particular application. The data is then collected when the machine is put into service: Examples of the images are taken under actual production conditions and classified. An AI model is trained and perfected based on this classified data collection. We accompany the customer throughout the entire life cycle of the system, by adjusting the existing models or creating new AI models.“

One of the advantages of an AI-supported vision solution from MULTIVAC is the automated, precise and consistently reliable inspection and identification of products or packs. The production capacity can also be raised by increasing the line efficiency. The brand and image are protected thanks to the faultless quality of the packs at the point of sale. Early detection of even the smallest discrepancies, as well as rapid intervention to eliminate the problem, ensure that the maximum process reliability is achieved. And last but not least, all the line modules, which are matched perfectly to each other, offer a uniform operating concept.
