Towards adaptation of industry 4.0 standards in Quality Inspection of Packaging material

Abstract

This project aims to offer quality inspection of the packaging material using the fourth industrial revolution (Industrial 4.0). The system uses camera measures for quality assessment of the products. The system performs quality inspection tests on the packaging material to assure the standards of the product. The tests include the identification of the dirt spots in the finished products, if the product has any dirt spot, the system rejects that product. The dirt spot can be of any type like blots or stains. The second test is print template analysis, in this test the system identifies if the front panel is being shifted at the back or is according to the industrial quality standards. The third test is Code Structure Legibility, which performs barcode detection and verification of its legibility. The system performs all the tests through intelligent Computer Vision and Machine Learning algorithms. The basic aim behind this project is to promote the fourth industrial revolution and Artificial Intelligence in Pakistan because our country is lacking in both. Deployment of this system will include a camera, a computer with design and implementation of industrial standard HMI.
