Cognex has added high-performance optical character verification (OCV) and optical character recognition (OCR) software tools to its award-winning In-Sight vision sensor products.
"Because of its ability to recognize distorted text, OCVMax minimises false rejects and eliminates costly operator intervention while ensuring information is correctly printed onto pharmaceutical, food, beverage, and personal care product labels and packages," said Marilyn Matz, Cognex co-founder and senior vice president PC Vision.
"OCVMax is also easy to set up because it comes pre-configured to handle a wide range of printer fonts." OCVMax is available as an option on any Cognex VisionPro PC vision system, and can be combined with other Cognex code reading and inspection tools to provide a complete solution for virtually any packaging application.
OCVMax will be available from Cognex in November. Request a free brochure from Cognex UK ...
