Press Release Summary:
Used to confirm that all product information documents conform to their designs with respect to content and quality, PSIFEYE automated proofreading system enables manufacturers to detect and correct errors to prevent rework and product recalls. Supply chain productivity tool uses AVIA (Automated Visual Information Analysis) technology to identify differences exceeding user-specified size and contrast thresholds, which are then located, marked, ranked, and tabulated.
Original Press Release:
PSIFEYE(TM) Automated Proofreading System Targets Inspection of Pharmaceutical Product Sheets and Other Printed Materials
Offering Maximum Accuracy
CAMBRIDGE, Mass - The Value Engineering Alliance, a leading provider of machine vision solutions, announces the addition of an automated proofreading system, the PSIFEYE, to its array of application-specific system solutions. Used to confirm that all product information documents conform to their designs with respect to both content and quality, PSIFEYE enables manufacturers to detect and correct errors early in their production processes, thereby preventing costly rework and product recalls. PSIFEYE functions as a supply chain productivity tool from the beginning of document design through prepress, production and incoming inspection of printed documents.
PSIFEYE detects by comparing images of documents and plates scanned by standard large or regular format scanners. The proprietary image analysis software that powers PSIFEYE effectively deals with paper stretch, ink bleed-through and other printing distortions and effects universally identified as being primary causes of automated offline print inspection system errors. It also handles variations in electronic documents, enabling them to be compared to proofs, transparencies, plates, press sheets, inserts and outserts.
As comprehensive as it is capable, PSIFEYE inspects all aspects of documents, including: text characters and symbols, graphics, chemical formulae, charts, and pictures. All differences that it identifies as exceeding user-specified size and contrast thresholds are located, marked, ranked and tabulated.
PSIFEYE does not completely replace human inspectors, but instead enhances the speed and accuracy of the proofreading process by inspecting product hundreds of times more quickly than proofreaders and freeing them from the type of tedious, repetitive review work that routinely results in errors. The human operators of PSIFEYE systems are still the ultimate arbiters, because they review the Internet-compatible (HTML) error reports that are generated, annotate them as required, initiate any appropriate corrective action and prepare the final reports for record keeping.
While the underlying AVIA (Automated Visual Information Analysis) technology has been proven effective inspecting security codebooks, surveillance photos, currency & stamps, casino playing cards, and flexible circuits, PSIFEYE targets and is used predominantly in the pharmaceutical and medical industries where the accuracy and quality of printed information are of utmost importance.
A PSIFEYE system will be featured in MNEMONICS, Inc.'s Booth Number 2459 in the Packaging Pavilion at INTERPHEX 2006, March 21st - 23rd at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center (New York, NY).
