Damaged or contaminated packaging can adversely affect how distributors and consumers perceive product quality and ultimately result in costly product recalls. Industry 4.0 is the innovative approach of incorporating a greater level of automation and data exchange in manufacturing to solve packaging inspection applications efficiently. The combination of machine vision, AI-powered, barcode reading, and barcode verification technology can help ensure primary and secondary packaging is sealed properly, tamper-proof, correctly assembled, and defect-free to avoid rework and product recalls.
