CodeSure® Overview
The CodeSure® product is used for optical character verification and quality inspection of printed alphanumeric codes. The machine vision system will automatically confirm that the expected code has been printed and is legible. The printed code may contain a lot code identifier, an expiration date, a product code, a plant code, or some other important production information. Any container that does not contain the expected code information or that is determined to contain illegible print will be kicked off the production line.

System Capabilities
- Eliminate the need for image-based character training by importing the electronic font files used by the printer to automatically train characters for verification and inspection.
- Enhance the operator experience for code or format changes by enabling simple pull-down character selections for the codes.
- Code background variations don’t affect the verification process.
- Codes are verified despite normal and expected random printing variations, while rejected codes, whether incorrect or illegible, are failed.
- Line yield is kept high by accommodating acceptable character variations caused by the printing process.
- Use proprietary CodeSnap technology to adapt to additional changes in the code appearance, such as after ink-jet head servicing.
- Help maintain system validation by eliminating the need to train character images.
- Save images of failed codes for root cause analysis.
- Provide a failure count to identify catastrophic printing problems.
- Make it easy for the operator to change the expected codes by simply selecting the product and code that is being run.
Vision Technology
- Small electronics enclosure with embedded touchscreen monitor
- Three color stack light for system monitoring
- One digital FireWire camera
- Custom lighting solution that provides even and non-reflective, providing a clear image of the characters
- Custom software application using Cognex VisionPro library and OCVMax vision tool
- High speed opto-isolated discrete I/O
