Example of Multiple Inspection Solutions
Our iSight Lightning for Empty Container systems have been deployed to inspect containers of varying sizes, shapes, colors, and materials for many different quality issues. Below are a few examples of containers and inspections.
Nutritional Drink Bottle
This iSight Lightning for Empty Containers solution utilizes 7 cameras to search for Sidewall contamination, Cavity ID, Swarf detection inside the bottle, and Seal Surface.
One Gallon Water Jug
This iSight Lightning for Empty Containers utilizes 6 cameras to detect flaws and contamination on the bottom, sides, handle, and neck opening of a gallon milk jug. AI technology allows us to reliably find flaws that just weren’t possible with rules-based vision tools.
