Determine the number of letters, judge OK/NG super fast!
Product Features
Name cards that are difficult to read can be read using OCR.
It is possible to compare the read data with the data in Excel and determine OK/NG.
There is a name card inside the product, and the angle changes.
OCR reading is possible even when the angle changes

By using dome lighting, it is possible to read the name card inside the product.
Even though ring lighting etc. have a diffuser plate, the light becomes direct and reflections occur, making the name card unreadable in some places.
Since the dome lighting provides indirect light, reflections are suppressed and OCR can now be read without problems even if the position or angle of the name card changes within the product. -

Product’s name card position: – 30° < name card < 30

Example of practically placing the name card.
Example of how OCR software works
-
The OCR software promptly recognizes text from the camera image, compares it with data in Excel, and then displays OK/NG on the screen.
-
Simultaneously, information is displayed in a data storage file (e.g., Excel).
Test results/Implementation effects
-
Test Results:
- The camera reads the position of the product and name card, ensuring stable OCR reading.
- If the product is passed on a conveyor, the surface of the name card must be flattened.
- Flattening the surface of the name card improves OCR reading accuracy.
- The time it takes for one reading is about 300-500ms
-
Implementation effects:
- The OCR software instantly reads OCR from the camera image, compares it with the data in Excel, and displays OK/NG on the screen.
- Automation reduces labor costs, shortens check times, and brings you closer to zero defects.
