Print & Marking Inspection

You need a partner who understands what’s possible nowadays in the world of print and marking inspection automation—someone with deep skillsets and accessible, and not someone so big that the engineers are hidden behind management and salespeople. Invent Automation is an expert in all things printing and marking inspection. From logo validation on glass to advanced OCR, we live and breathe this world every day.

You need engineers and inventors knowledgeable in:

1. The wide variety of grading and validation specifications out there. For example, ISO 13660, ISO 12647 and OEM specific standards.
2. Specialty lighting techniques such as multi-spectral lighting to optimally expose text images
3. Utilizing the latest in AI and deep learning
4. Multi-print recognition and data parsing techniques
5. The latest trends in the print and machine vision techniques

Common pitfalls of print and marking inspection systems that we ensure you don’t fall into:

1. Ambient lighting can impact readability
2. Not considering what to do thoroughly enough when a defect is found
3. Not accounting for the text orientation in relationship to the camera(s)

We’ve been to hundreds of plants and seen thousands of projects. We’ve rescued print and marking inspection projects before, learned from others' mistakes, made some of our own, and know what it takes to make custom print and marking inspection systems successful.

Our machine vision solutions start with a phone call and a visit where we listen, throw around crazy ideas, and ask “what if” together. It’s a lot of fun compared to the daily grind. But we don’t prescribe before diagnosing. We seek to understand the drivers and business results that warrant the investment in machine vision. You want a bespoke custom machine vision solution tailored to your needs, and it must deliver business results on time so you can make a return on your investment. We know it’s not about deploying a particular technology or brand; it’s all about achieving your business goal.

Your crazy idea might work. We exist to Invent Automation. Call, email, or chat with us here and talk to an inventor who gets it, so your custom machine vision system can get built and you can get that win.
