100% guaranteed print and packaging quality - even at maximum speeds

In the printing and packaging industries, the demands on optical quality control are particularly high. Maximum printing speeds and the ever-increasing variety of shapes, materials, colours and surfaces make automated inspection systems almost indispensable today. With a customised machine vision solution from STEMMER IMAGING, you can ensure 100% quality control of your printed products while meeting all requirements for maximum efficiency.

Maximum precision in print inspection

No matter whether paper products such as newspapers, magazines, promotional inserts, labels, folding boxes, package inserts, value prints and printed packaging products or demanding materials such as foils, metal sheets, printed electronics (printed circuits) or coatings on metal - our print inspection technology is perfectly tailored to the individual requirements and enable defect detection based on a wide range of quality features, such as:

 

  • Checking complete print images 
  • Barcode quality check
  • Braille verification
  • 2D code verification
  • Optical character reading (OCR1 or OCV2)
  • Inspecting consecutive serial numbers
  • Detecting misprints, deviations in edge trim, colour deviations, web breaks

Maximum reliability for quality control in the packaging industry

With our customised, AI-based inspection systems, we enable highly efficient inline quality control for the packaging industry - and for a wide variety of packaging types, materials and coatings.

 

  • Inspecting raw material for packaging
  • Real-time defect detection during production
  • Automatic localisation and classification of defects
  • Detecting defect types (tears, missing pieces, dents, scratches, geometric deviations, missing content)
  • Identifying print defects
  • Optimal adaptation to the materials and surfaces inspected
  • Simple adaptation, e.g. seasonal variations in packaging

Machine Vision Expertise

Whether gravure, offset, flexo or even with screen printing machines - our machine vision experts are familiar with the specific requirements of the various printing methods and optimally match the components employed. 
 
We provide you not only with the right products and components for your individual print and packaging inspection solution, but also with the necessary expert knowledge. We ensure that you get the most out of your individual solution.

Application examples in print and packaging

See for yourself how easily you can optimise your quality checks with customised inspection systems. Feel free to contact us for more application examples from the printing and packaging industries. 

Aluminium trays are used worldwide in a wide range of shapes for packaging food. Novelis Deutschland GmbH, with the help of the system integrator, Industrielle Sensorsysteme Wichmann GmbH (ISW), have produced a two-stage inspection system to check the quality of the trays based on machine vision technology from STEMMER IMAGING.

Ensuring that rubber stoppers and plungers used in pharmaceutical vials and syringes are free from defects is of paramount importance. To meet this requirement, the Dutch company Simac Masic has designed a reliable inspection solution. The high-speed vision systems used were developed in cooperation with the experts from STEMMER IMAGING.

„For a long time, there has been a very close cooperative relationship between our two companies. Regardless of which industry we have operated in over recent years, we have always been able to rely on the technical competence and good support from the experts at STEMMER IMAGING.“
