Date and lot codes, batch codes, and expiration dates are required on food and beverage products to identify when and where a product was made. Items are marked with these codes early in the production process for quality control and traceability. These codes often combine 1D symbology and plain text to encode information about the batch and manufacturing date. Optical character verification (OCV) is used for reliable process control, helping manufacturers meet labeling requirements and ensure consumer safety. Quality inspections must verify that the codes are present and printed correctly to ensure traceability and more easily manage product recalls.
Our technology can detect the presence or absence of date and lot codes and also verify that its chain of numbers and letters are correct.
For the more challenging OCV that may include, but not limited to laser-engraved, dot-peen, or chemically etched DPM text, we can look at custom systems for you. Our tools can look at if codes are accurately read and verified. These tools also can identify products that are deformed, skewed, and poorly etched characters using optical character verification (OCV). Furthermore, the pre-trained, omni-font library identifies most text without needing any additional programming or font training
