Firstsight Vision has announced the i-Label 'Vision Appliance' The latest in a series of products from Coreco Imaging's IPD, 'Intelligent Product Division'.

i-Label is an automated Vision Appliance that rapidly checks the placement and quality of labels on bottles, boxes, cans and other rigid, packaged goods.

i-Label performs the following inspections: * Verifies that the correct label is present * Verifies that the label is correctly positioned * Checks that the label's placement angle is within specified limits * Detects flags, tears, and missing portions of labels * Checks for significant defects including smears, spatter and contamination weeks.

i-Label, in common with all of the Vision Appliances from IPD, is designed for total ease of use, providing the user with excellent, repeatable results, for a whole range of printing and packaging label inspections.

i-Label's intuitive interface makes it easy for users to get label inspections up and running quickly.

A sequence of interface screens guides users through the steps needed to set up an inspection task, including defining parameters for acceptable label positions and angles.

Using proprietary neural network technology, i-Label then automatically learns the variation in good labels.

The learned label and inspection parameters can be saved as a "solution" and quickly restored or downloaded when the label is changed.

Solutions can be saved on the vision appliance or on a network so that a particular label inspection can be trained for one manufacturing line and used on many others.

Users interface with i-Label through a standard web browser, enabling them to configure, remotely monitor and debug their applications.

The vision appliance is available with an external camera interface that supports a variety of industry-proven cameras makes and a dedicated display output allows the user to run necessary checks prior to running the finished application.
