LabelWatcher 360°

The turnkey system offers a comprehensive quality inspection of self-adhesive labels. Thereby, products can have any rotational position.


The all-round label inspection in any rotational position

The LabelWatcher 360° is designed for the quality control of self-adhesive labels that are applied to plastic packagings during the production process. The hardware and software of the vision system focus on defects that can typically occur during the labeling process. It provides a 100% inspection which allows for full production control and flawless deliveries.

A special feature of the compact stand-alone solution is the possibility to integrate it into the production line at any point after the labeling machine. The products to be inspected can have any rotational position during inspection. With the help of a sophisticated process, the machine operator can set up new products within a remarkably short time.

Your data source for production optimization

The IntraVision software provides the basis for a comprehensive analysis of your production line. All data collected during visual inspection is clearly presented in various statistics and diagrams. With the help of the reporting functionality, the data can be exported in a structured way. In addition, trend calculations ensure that potential defect sources are identified before they occur. Moreover, compliance with legal regulations and customer-specific requirements is ensured at all times.

Special functionalities for a 100% quality control

Based on our long-term experience in the inspection of labeling and decoration, we have developed a new, innovative illumination concept with in-house developed light fields. The entire label is homogeneously illuminated, so that defects can be reliably detected even at the label edges. At the same time, reflections are prevented that would disturb the inspection and would lead to false rejects.

Furthermore, the inspection system supports you in quickly setting up new products. With the help of the training wizard Assistant 360°, the machine operator is guided step by step through the reference creation. This eliminates the need for time-consuming image collection of different rotational positions.
