In an industrial context where traceability is becoming a strategic issue, code quality can no longer be left to chance. A poorly printed, degraded or non-compliant code can lead to production stoppages, product returns or regulatory non-compliance.
To meet these challenges, Omron is launching the VHV5-F, an on-line code reading and verification solution designed to check code quality in real time, directly on the production line. With this new solution, CIPAM reinforces its expertise in industrial code verification and supports manufacturers in their drive towards more reliable, compliant traceability.
On-line code verification: a concrete use case on your production lines
On a production line, codes are generally printed or marked directly on products or packaging. In this context, a printing defect can quickly spread to an entire batch before it is even detected.
The VHV5-F intervenes directly at this critical moment. Installed on the line, it checks each code immediately after it has been printed or marked. In the event of non-conformity, thealert is instantaneous, enabling the process to be adjusted before the defect becomes widespread.
This approach makes it possible to switch from end-of-production quality control to proactive, real-time verification, thus limiting scrap, rework and production stoppages.
This solution is particularly suitable for :
- Label printing lines
- Direct part marking (DPM)
- Product serialization
- Logistics identification
- High-speed lines
Real-time code verification: a major industrial challenge
The VHV5-F enables 1D, 2D and DPM codes to be verified directly on-line, as they are printed or marked. This real-time verification enables immediate identification of defects and correction of problems before products leave the line.
The system can check up to 1,000 codes per minute, guaranteeing reliable traceability even in high-speed environments.
Implementing a verification system like VHV5-F cansignificantly improve the overall performance of production lines.
Inline verification reduces non-conformities by immediately detecting quality defects. Operators can then quickly correct printing or marking parameters.
This solution also helps to improve traceability by guaranteeing that each code complies with the expected quality standards. In sectors subject to strict regulatory requirements, this reliability is essential.
The VHV5-F also reduces operating costs. By avoiding rejects and rework, manufacturers can optimize production and limit losses.
Finally, automated verification makes processes more secure while reducing human intervention, thus improving overall productivity.
Discover the VHV5-F now
Omron’s VHV5-F represents a new generation of on-line code verification, combining performance, compliance and ease of integration.
An ideal solution for improving traceability and securing your production lines.
ISO compliance: now an unavoidable requirement
The VHV5-F features verification to international standards:
- ISO/IEC 15416 (1D codes)
- ISO/IEC 15415 (2D codes)
- ISO/IEC TR 29158 / AIM DPM (direct part marking)
This compliance ensures that your codes remain legible throughout the supply chain:
- Production
- Assembly
- Distribution
- End use
The VHV5-F provides secure end-to-end traceability.
A solution for many industrial sectors
Today, code verification is a key issue in many industrial sectors. The VHV5-F integrates easily into a variety of environments, notably in theautomotive industry, where component traceability is essential throughout the product lifecycle.
In the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors, regulatory compliance demands impeccable code quality. Real-time verification becomes a key element in guaranteeing serialization and compliance.
Thefood industry also benefits from this technology to secureproduct identification, improve logistics and avoid shipping errors.
Finally, the electronics and logistics sectors use code verification to make flows more reliable and improveprocess automation.
Advanced technology for demanding industrial environments
The VHV5-F incorporates a number of technologies designed to ensure reliable reading and verification, even under the most challenging conditions. Advanced illumination and image correction ensure accurate reading on difficult, shiny or curved surfaces.
The system is also capable of verifying different types of code, including 1D, 2D and DPM, while complying with international ISO verification standards. This compliance guarantees measurable, reproducible code quality throughout the supply chain.
Thanks to its liquid lens autofocus and advanced algorithms, the VHV5-F automatically adapts to distance variations and product changes, simplifying integration on production lines.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the VHV5-F is also extremely robust and easy to integrate into existing architectures.
