Batch code, expiry date reading vision system for manufacturing

DeepInspect®- AI-powered lot code and expiration date reading and verification software with ERP and MES integration for Pharmaceutical, Electronics, Automotive & FMCG  packaging

AI-powered lot code, expiration date, and batch code inspection using DeepInspect® ensures every printed code is clear, accurate, and compliant. Powered by advanced OCR and OCV algorithms, DeepInspect® detects critical print defects such as missing or unreadable codes, faded or smudged prints, misalignment, broken or merged characters, and incorrect date formats. Designed for high-speed packaging lines across pharma, FMCG, automotive, and electronics industries, it recognises and verifies lot code readability, expiration date accuracy, batch code consistency, etc., with 99.5% accuracy. DeepInspect® empowers manufacturers to achieve zero-defect printing, reduce product recalls, and ensure complete traceability and compliance across global production lines.

Its AI-driven vision engine adapts to diverse packaging materials — including plastic, metal, paper, and glass — ensuring accurate inspection even under variable lighting and surface conditions. DeepInspect® offers effortless integration with ERP and MES systems, enabling automatic data synchronization for lot codes, production batches, and rejection logs.

Inquiry Form

    What is AI-powered lot code and expiration date inspection?

    AI-powered lot code inspection automatically detects, reads, and verifies printed lot codes, expiration dates, and batch codes using OCR and OCV technology. It ensures accurate printing, correct data, and full traceability across production lines.

    Why is lot code and expiration date inspection important in packaging?

    Lot and expiration code inspection prevents labeling errors, ensures regulatory compliance, and helps avoid product recalls. It guarantees every package carries readable and accurate production information.

    What types of defects can DeepInspect® detect in lot code and expiry date printing?

    DeepInspect® detects missing prints, faded or smudged ink, double prints, misaligned codes, broken characters, and incorrect date formats—ensuring every printed code is accurate and legible.

    How does DeepInspect® perform OCR and OCV inspection?

    DeepInspect® uses AI-based OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and OCV (Optical Character Verification) to read and validate printed text and numbers on high-speed lines, achieving 99.5% accuracy.

    What cameras do you support?

    We support Area Scan, Line Scan, and Thermal cameras. Our software is compatible with industry-standard vendors like Basler, Baumer, Allied Vision, FLIR, and others.

    How many images are needed to train DeepInspect®'s machine vision model?

    DeepInspect® requires fewer than 200 good images for model training, significantly reducing setup time for AI defect detection.

    Does DeepInspect® need defective (NG) images for AI model training?

    No. DeepInspect® uses unsupervised AI, eliminating the need for NG images in training. 

    How long does it take to train a model with DeepInspect®?

    Model training is completed in less than 45 minutes, allowing rapid deployment of vision inspection

    How quickly can a production line demo be done with DeepInspect®?
