Abstract: A method is disclosed for generating a virtual overlay for a packaging machine having a plurality of movable objects manipulating packaging containers, comprising associating the movable objects with respective object identifier data communicated in the packaging machine, determining a relative position of a target object amongst the movable objects in a physical coordinate system of the packaging machine based on the object identifier data, registering imaging data comprising at least part of the movable objects or a defined physical reference, mapping the relative position of the target object to a virtual coordinate system in an at least partly virtual environment viewed by a user, comprising correlating the relative position of the target object to the imaging data, whereby the target object is assigned to a virtual target coordinate in the virtual coordinate system, and displaying the virtual overlay in the virtual coordinate system in relation to the virtual target coordinate.

Abstract: A method for quality control of a packaging system is provided. The method comprises receiving a record of packaging identification data, wherein the record of packaging identification data being related to a package. Next, identifying and receiving a record of machine data using said record of packaging identification data, wherein said record of machine data being related to a machine set up used when producing said package. Thereafter, identifying a packaging quality parameter to be checked based on said record of machine data, and requesting a record of packaging quality data related to said packaging quality parameter.
