Cognex's best-in-class character recognition technology ensures reliable product quality tracking

South Korea's CJ Food System sells raw materials for major companies and food service providers, and supplies raw materials to the food processing industry. As an industry-leading food service company, CJ Food System's customers are located in various industries including schools, offices, companies and hospitals. CJ Food System's Incheon plant produces raw materials, non-staple food materials and finished products at the same time. CJ Food System needed to ensure reliable product quality tracking during high-speed production, so the company decided to use Cognex vision technology as a solution.

Ensure reliable product quality tracking and stacking under challenging production conditions.

CJ Food System's products must not only be mass-produced, but also meet stringent food hygiene requirements. It is crucial to ensure reliable product quality tracking and data management during production and sales. For example, the production environment of the feed factory is far from satisfactory. Not only does the temperature change greatly with the season, but the dust in the factory is high and the noise is high. Some characters are printed on the feed package. When these characters are checked and verified, the robot stacks the feed bags. In such a production environment, in order to achieve reliable data management, the accuracy of character recognition must be ensured, and the correct products should be stacked on each sales channel. Therefore, a high-performance industrial solution is needed to ensure accurate original character recognition (OCR).

Cognex In-Sight Vision System: A Powerful Solution

After consulting with major vision system suppliers, CJ Food System selected the solution provided by Cognex's visual integrator Gyro System, which is Cognex In-Sight 5100 to ensure accurate reading and identification of feed product codes. . The camera in this system will assist the robot to ensure that the products stacked on each sales channel are correct. In contrast, the products of other vision system suppliers are not capable of such a challenging industrial production environment. The In-Sight 5100 is a powerful, IP-67 compliant model that maintains high performance in difficult production environments. Its state-of-the-art character recognition technology and data retrieval ensure correct information management, enabling reliable quality tracking of the production process.
