Three Ways to Enhance Packaging Line Performance with Machine Vision OCR

Describing all three ways to enhance packaging line performance with machine vision OCR, this paper focuses on optical character recognition and its growing use in packaging lines for compliance with data and lot tracking regulations. A brief overview of the need for OCR in packaging is provided, explaining how OCR ensures code presence and readability, tracks products throughout the supply chain, and matches labels to products. The paper details several Microscan's OCR solutions, which include ID tracking, 2D barcode readers, machine vision systems, and 2D imagers with OCR decoding capability. Figures illustrating OCR characters printed on the top of cans and a crisp OCR font, which is the simplest and most reliable method for decoding are also included.
