Label inspection on egg cartons: Automated palletizing with B50 and B60

The picture shows several egg cartons on a shelf.

The correct palletizing of egg cartons depends on the reliable detection and evaluation of labels – a challenge with different types of packaging and variable imprints. The article shows how the B50 vision sensor and the B60 Smart Camera work together to detect the type of packaging, logos, quality classes and quantities, process this data via OCR and logic modules and thus enable error-free allocation on the conveyor belt.

Precise compartment fine positioning for efficient high-bay warehouses

weQube+ vision sensor on the storage and retrieval machine for precise compartment fine positioning in high-bay warehouses

High-bay warehouses (HBW) place high demands on logistics: storage and retrieval machines (SRMs) must store and retrieve containers and pallets safely, quickly and accurately – even in aisles up to 40 m high. However, large or high storage structures are subject to constant movement: Loading, fluctuating temperatures or manufacturing tolerances can bend the metal struts. […]

Smart Camera or vision sensor – when do I choose what?

The image shows the Smart Cameras and Vision Sensors on the left and the Smart Cameras on the right, with a question mark in the middle.

Smart Cameras and Vision Sensors are indispensable in industrial image processing when it comes to automated quality control, identification tasks or measurements. Both systems combine camera, evaluation and interfaces in one compact device – but what are the differences? And when is which system the right choice? What is a Smart Camera? Smart cameras are […]
