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, deep learning, 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.
