PACKAGING, LABEL & PRINT INSPECTION

Packaging, Label & Print Inspection AI for Clean Packs on Every Run

KOMPASS AI checks every pack as it runs — label placement, print quality, fill level and seal — through the cameras you already have. No crooked labels, no print drifting through a batch, no underfilled container reaching a customer, just packs that leave the line right.

THE PROBLEM

A Crooked Label is a Rejected Batch Waiting to Happen.

Packaging faults are cheap at the applicator and expensive everywhere after it. They also repeat: whatever the line is doing wrong, it does to every pack until somebody happens to look.

Labels That Land Crooked

Skewed, lifted, bubbled, half on the seam. The code still scans and the pack still ships, and the retailer charges you for how it looks on shelf.

Print That Drifts Mid-Run

The first pack is clean and the ten-thousandth is not. Nothing flags the drift, so the batch is on a pallet before anyone compares two packs side by side.

A Sample Passed, So the Batch Shipped

Hourly checks on a line running thousands a minute. What you hold afterwards is a signature on a check sheet, not an image of the pack that went out.
The Solution

Packaging, label and print inspection, built into the cameras you already have

Our Cognitive Product Inspection system, KOMPASS™, paired with modular vision hardware, checks the pack itself as it runs — where the label sits, how the print came out, how full the container is — and keeps an image of every pack it passed.

Check Every Label Is On, Straight and Clean

  • Confirms the label is present and positioned within tolerance
  • Catches skew, tilt, lift, bubbles and wrinkles on curved packs
  • Verifies sleeve and wrap alignment across the pack face
  • Reads through gloss, foil, film and clear-on-clear labels

Catch Print Faults Before the Run Does Damage

  • Detects misprints, smudges, streaking, banding and missing print
  • Checks print registration and colour consistency across the run
  • Flags print drift as it starts, not when the batch is finished
  • Auto-ejects affected packs through integrated hardware

Verify the Pack, Not Just Its Face

  • Inspects fill level and flags over-fill and under-fill
  • Checks seals, caps, closures and tamper bands are intact and seated
  • Confirms carton contents and count before the case closes
  • Records an image of every pack for audit and complaint defence

USE CASES

Packaging, Label and Print Checks We Run

A packaging line repeats whatever it is doing, thousands of times an hour. KOMPASS watches the pack itself, label, print, fill and seal, on the cameras already over your line, so a fault that starts at pack one never reaches pack ten thousand.

Deployment

Live On Your Line, Not In A Six-Month Pilot

Pack inspection runs on the cameras you already have over your applicator, coder and filler. No pilot line, no new hardware to install. We have mapped this deployment before, which is what makes it fast now.

STEP 01
Line audit and camera mapping

We walk your line, confirm camera and lighting coverage at the applicator, coder and filler, and scope the packs and faults to inspect.

STEP 02
Model training on your packs

The model trains on your own packs, labels and print jobs, with 20 samples per defect, not a generic packaging library.

STEP 03
Go live, verified

Inspection runs in shadow mode beside your current line checks, then goes live on your ejector once accuracy is confirmed. Deployment takes 6–8 weeks.

Bring your fastest line and the pack that goes wrong most often. We will scope a pilot on your line.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is the inline check that each pack leaves the line physically correct: the label present and straight, the print clean and in register, the fill level right, the seal intact. A vision system inspects every pack as it runs and ejects the ones that fail.

Code and character reading covers what a code or label says: the date, the batch, the barcode, the artwork content. This page covers the label and pack as physical objects: present, straight, cleanly printed, correctly filled and sealed. Most packaging lines need both checks, and the same camera can run them.

Yes, and those are the packs that defeat fixed-rule systems, because the highlight moves as the pack does. KOMPASS is trained on your own packs under your own lighting, so it separates a genuine wrinkle or misprint from a reflection, and modular hardware adds the angles a curved pack needs.

Both. A missing or smudged print is caught immediately. Drift matters more: colour shifting, registration creeping, ink thinning across a long run. KOMPASS compares every pack against the standard rather than against the last one, so gradual change is flagged while the batch can still be corrected.

Yes. Fill level is read visually from the container, so bottles, jars and clear or translucent packs are checked with no checkweigher and no contact. Over-fill and under-fill are both flagged, which matters because over-fill is a giveaway cost that rarely shows up in any quality report.

KOMPASS runs at packaging-line speed, up to 12,000 packs a minute on FMCG lines. It connects to your PLCs, conveyors and existing reject hardware, actuates the ejector inside the dwell time, feeds MES and ERP for traceability, and runs at the edge with your data staying on-site.
