System reads and verifies QR codes on product packs

WMH has developed a system for reading and verifying QR codes on round packaging at up to 200 packs a minute.

The new system uses four scanners grouped together to view a round can or pot from different angles to create a single 360 degree image. This allows the QR code to be identified, whichever orientation the product is presented. A fifth scanner mounted above, scans the lid and the two images are compared by the software to ensure a match.

If a mismatch is detected, the line can either be stopped for manual removal or the line can be linked to a reject system to automatically remove any defective products.
