Objective
The main objective of this project is to transfer defect detection technology for plastic packaging so that it can be brought to the food and beverage production market through the validation of a pre-industrial inspection prototype in a real use case, in order to meet current quality control and verification needs, exploiting patented knowledge related to the inspection of thermographic processes.
Activities
1. Market characterisation
2. Design of the development and preliminary prototype
3. Characterisation of the heat-sealed packaging
4. Development of the control software
5. Design of the optimal thermographic inspection algorithms and advanced vision techniques
6. Design and manufacture of the inspection equipment
7. Adaptation and integration of the pilot equipment into the production line of the selected company
8. Adjustment and validation of the inspection system on the production line
9. Monitoring and exploitation of the innovation
10. Dissemination and transfer of innovation results in the food packaging sector
