Abstract
An automated line clearance inspection system will enable fast and accurate inspection of packaging equipment lines to reduce or prevent product intermixing. The system includes a set of image capturing devices that are controlled via a central processing unit whereby end run images are compared with control images to determine if a line is cleared.
Claims12
A method of automated line clearance comprising:
- obtaining a set of end run images from each of a set of image collecting devices;
- comparing each of the set of end run images with control images from each of the set of image collecting devices;
- and
- generating a set of difference images for each of the set of image collecting devices based on the comparison of the set of end run images and the set of control images.
1 more element
A system for automated line clearance comprising:
- a set of image collecting devices;
- a computing device, in communication with the set of image collecting devices, for obtaining images from the set of image collection devices, the images including a set of control images and a set of end run images;
- and
- a processor for comparing the set of control images and the set of end run images and generating a set of difference images for transmission to a line operator.
1 more element
A computer-implemented method for automating line clearance, comprising:
- under the control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions,
- obtaining a set of end run images from each of a set of image collecting devices;
- comparing each of the set of end run images with control images from each of the set of image collecting devices;
- and
- generating a set of difference images for each of the set of image collecting devices based on the comparison of set of end run images and the set of control images.
