Vision Inspection Software Offers Improved Tools

The latest version of Mettler Toledo’s CIVCore vision inspection software supports different hardware configurations and features the award-winning Dot Print tool for reliable inspection of inkjet and other dot matrix-style print.

The user-friendliness and increased range of configuration options allows manufacturers to upgrade older vision systems more easily.

One important change for the new version is the support of different hardware configurations, allowing the company to offer an increased range of configuration options. This also makes it easier to upgrade older vision systems.

Another improvement is the merging of the client and server applications for CIVCore into a single application. This has resulted in speed increases on all systems, but particularly in systems using Mettler Toledo Mosaic inspection technology. An added benefit of this unification is simpler logging and error handling, which makes diagnosing problems much easier.

The centerpiece of the new software, however, is the Dot Print tool. The dot print tool accurately reads characters which have been printed using discrete dots (i.e., dot matrix printing). This tool is specifically meant to help manufacturers verify the accuracy and quality of inkjet printing systems used to apply variable information such as the expiration date on food. The Dot Print tool's ability to compensate for distortion due to movement on the production line or uneven surfaces makes it far more accurate than past attempts, and multi-line reading capabilities allows CIVCore to quickly process images and keep up with rapid production speeds.
