A vision system is more than the sum of its parts. And it takes much more than good components or fully integrated hardware solution to be successful. It takes 100% specialization. It takes many years of experience, spent on the frontline of vision technology – camera and lighting confi gurations, product handling design, set-up and resulting software confi guration and data presentation – alongside careful planning and a solid knowledge of production processes. This is the kind of commitment that ensures a vision solution always meets customer expectations. Anything less is just Do-It-Yourself (DIY).
Turnkey Vision Inspection Solutions. Total Capability. 100% Inspection. Better. All Round.

CI-Vision System Specialists Full PC based Turnkey Systems High (100%) High Quality and Productivity Impact
METTLER TOLEDO CI-Vision Inspection systems examine a wide variety of packaging and products at speeds over 3000 ppm, and from every critical aspect and angle. This gives packaging manufacturers the operational confi dence they need, knowing that their products are always in optimal condition when presented to their customers.
All vision system components such as cameras, lights, product handling software and documentation are included. There is no element of self-selection and we consult at every stage of the integration process. Enhanced training, support (both remote and on-site), and validation services are also offered.
In the Product Packaging industry, many companies still fail to see the signifi cance of PC-based turnkey Vision Inspection until, that is, the sources of value and risk to reputation and consumer wellbeing are highlighted. And with CI-Vision’s robust yet simple solution we identify those sources by breaking down the inspection process into 4 primary functions. Any Vision Inspection solution is simply a combination of any of these 4 critical functions – Measure, Compare, Read and Count. Of course, identifying the right combination is the accumulationof CI-Vision’s years of experience.
ReadEnabling you to read, inspect and qualify printed alphanumeric codes. Using OCR and OCV techniques, Optical Character Recognition sees printed text and translates the image into character codes that computers understand and use for inspection. Optical Character Verifi cation inspects and verifi es the printed characters are correct by matching characters to known characters stored in a font.
CountThis function does exactly as it says - using Vision Inspection to verify that component, content, packs and multiples are provided in exactly the quantities that the product claims. It could also be said that we count pixels to ensure precise measurements every time.
MeasureSophisticated Vision Inspection techniques enable manufacturers to measure against pre-set dimensions, ensuring that neck threads, container heights and label and cap placements are accurate and repeatable.
CompareProduct Integrity is all about delivering the same product to consumers time after time after time. By comparing every bottle, package, thread, closure, shape and fi nish relentlessly against original designs and dimensions programmed into the Vision Inspection system, means repeatable quality delivered to consumers, while protecting productivity and brands.
