Challenge
Our customer, India’s largest FMCG brand, needed a solution to automate Optical character recognition and verification on all manufactured SKUs and automate for continuous production
The primary challenges included:
Comprehensive Character Coverage: Ensuring 100% coverage for all characters, including special characters (#,@,₹,/), at 580+ parts per minute.
High Detection and Rejection Accuracy: Achieving 99.9%+ accuracy in character detection while minimizing false rejections(<0.5%). The system needed to adapt to minor changes in print quality.
Printer Integration: The printed text continuously changes on the shift, so there was a need to deeply integrate with the Printer to automatically verify the text as it gets printed.
Solution
The customer implemented the DeepInspect Read system, and the following are the major features that stood out for them:
Comprehensive OCR at High-Speed: DeepInspect Read supported all characters at a remarkable variable speed of 580+ parts per minute. The proprietary edge AI OCR technology delivered both exceptional detection capabilities and speed.
Robust Verification: DeepInspect Read used AI to exhibit robustness against minor variations in print quality, providing <0.5% false-positive rate and superior accuracy than all existing conventional solutions.
Seamless Integration to the existing printer: DeepInspect Read seamlessly integrated with the existing VideoJet Printer, automating the verification process and eliminating the need for manual intervention.
Results
Following the implementation our customer experienced significant improvements in their operations:
Improved Compliance:
Streamlined and automated verification processes resulted in complete compliance with industry regulations.
Reduced the risk of errors and discrepancies, positioning the company as an industry leader in Quality.
Employee Productivity:
Automation of verification rules and continuous production processes led to zero manual intervention.
Conclusion:
Our customers’ immediate quality challenges have been revolutionized by the deployment of DeepInspect Read, leading to zero complaints over the months. Our customer has become an industry leader in leveraging AI for Operational Excellence.

FAQ’s :
DeepInspect uses readily available industrial-grade hardware to ensure high repeatability and long lifespan. We provide a basic kit to help you get started, which includes a controller, camera, lights, and a PLC.
DeepInspect supports inspection speeds of up to 1000 parts per minute. The final speed depends on various factors, such as the number of cameras, lighting, and other line conditions. If you have a requirement above 1000 PPM, please contact us.
DeepInspect supports all GenICam-compliant USB 3.0 and GigE cameras, giving you the flexibility to work with the hardware you already have on your production line. Fully tested and compatible brands include Basler, IDS, Baumer, Omron Sentech, Allied Vision, FLIR, HIK Robot, and Lucid Vision. We also support Area Scan, Line Scan, and Thermal cameras, covering a wide range of inspection environments and product types.
DeepInspect is built specifically for defects that are random and unpredictable in nature, such as cracks, scratches, surface anomalies, missing components, seal failures, and label errors. Unlike rule-based systems that rely on a defect appearing at a fixed location or in a fixed pattern, DeepInspect uses AI models trained on your actual production data to recognize defects regardless of where they appear or how they look. This is exactly where AI inspection becomes critical: when a crack can appear anywhere on a part, or a scratch has no consistent shape or size, traditional vision systems fail. DeepInspect is trained to catch what others miss. The system has been successfully deployed across over 1,000 unique SKUs in automotive, pharma, electronics, and FMCG industries.
