Mettler Toledo launches automated label inspection service for food manufacturers

100% automated label inspection portfolio is fully flexible

Switzerland headquartered firm Mettler Toledo has launched a completely automated, full label inspection service for food manufacturers. The technology inspects 100% of products and shapes and identifies 100% of label data and quality challenges.

This new portfolio is a cost effective way to exchange unreliable, manual spot checks with 100% automated label inspection in high speed production lines. The solution helps to achieve documented label inspection in line with industry guidelines such as the BRCGS (Brand Reputation through Compliance) to support consumer safety, prevent recalls and expensive retailer fines.

The new offering includes advanced smart cameras to inspect oriented products from the side and top. This unique new smart line scan camera effectively inspects labels or prints on the underside of products and offers a 360° degree inspection head for checking round objects. The cameras can be mixed and matched to suit any production need and can also be used to inspect caps and lids. The software is particularly easy to use, featuring a dedicated tool set for label inspection that helps with product set-up.

Additionally, it offers Software Tooltips which are inspection tools to intuitively guide operators through the image processing settings such as lights, shutter or focus to maximise image quality. The new technology can be retrofitted onto existing equipment offering considerable space savings.
