A method for quality control of packages produced in a roll-fed packaging machine

A quality control apparatus for quality control of packages produced in a roll-fed packaging machine, wherein the roll-fed packaging machine comprises an image data capturing device arranged at a position along a web of packaging material, the control device comprising circuitry configured to execute:

• an obtaining function configured to obtain image data depicting an section of the web, from the image data capturing device;
• an identifying function configured to identify an anomaly in the section of the web of packaging material, using a machine learning model trained to identify anomalies in image data of a web of packaging material;
• and
• a communicating function configured to, in response to the identified anomaly, communicate a signal indicating an action to be performed, to a control system of the packaging machine.
