  • Label inspection system and method
    Patent number: 9569837
    Abstract: A label inspection system fixture (1) has a scanner and housing (10) for performing full inline or offline inspection within a printer (20). The fixture (1) comprises a control circuit (5) with a processor within a curved guide plate (6). The scanner (10) communicates with the circuit (5), which in turn communicates with a host computer (VPU). The VPU identifies regions in a scanned label and applies to each region an inspection tool associated with that region. At least some of said tools include a stored training image and associated test data defining said regions and inspection criteria for the regions.
    Type: Grant
