Staying Ahead in Print Inspection: How Automated Quality Control Shapes the Future of Carton, Board and Paper Industries
I
n today’s fast-paced market, where precision, efficiency and sustainability drive success, staying ahead of emerging trends is vital for businesses in the carton, board and paper industries. Automated print inspection systems are transforming quality control processes, offering unprecedented accuracy and insights. As these technologies evolve, they are not only solving longstanding industry challenges, but also opening new opportunities for professionals and businesses to thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape.
AUTOMATED PRINT INSPECTION: A GAME-CHANGER FOR CARTON AND BOARD QUALITY CONTROL
Automated print inspection technology has become a cornerstone of quality control in the printing and packaging sectors. Systems like EyeC’s Proofiler ‘Graphic’ or the EyeC ProofRunner ‘Carton Folder Gluer’ are examples of how automated solutions are helping companies detect print defects with unparalleled accuracy.
One trend gaining traction is the integration of AI-driven analytics into inspection systems. These technologies allow machines to not only detect deviations, but also identify
patterns. For example, a common challenge in the carton printing industry is distinguishing relevant, correctable errors from non-relevant ones, such as dust. One innovation is EyeC ProofRunner’s AI-based inspection technology, which represents a paradigm shift in defect detection and classification. With enhanced functions that surpass industry standards, EyeC’s AI-based inspection focuses on accurate and precise defect classification based on the image content, contrasting to classic geometric-based data analysis. The system does not just detect defects; it identifies and classifies them into meaningful categories, providing insights that were previously unattainable at once unimaginable speeds. By reducing false positives and delivering granular data, it empowers operators to make informed decisions quickly. These benefits save time, minimise production waste and ensure that only flawless products reach the market.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PROFESSIONALS AND BUSINESSES
For professionals, the implications of automated print inspection are profound. On the operational side, these systems reduce reliance on manual quality checks, freeing
up personnel for higher-value tasks. On the other hand, it also demands a willingness to adapt to evolving technology, learning to interpret the data provided and integrating it into broader quality control processes while maintaining sophisticated inspection technologies. Businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), may find the initial investment daunting. However, the long-term benefits, such as reduced waste, faster production cycles and improved customer satisfaction, far outweigh the upfront investment. Additionally, these systems contribute to sustainability by significantly minimising rework and material wastage, aligning with global environmental goals.
WHY ADAPTABILITY AND INNOVATION ARE CRITICAL
In an industry where precision and efficiency are paramount, automated print inspection systems represent more than just a technological advancement; they are a strategic imperative. As consumer demands grow more sophisticated and regulations continue to evolve, the ability to pivot and embrace change will determine success. As innovation continues to redefine quality control, adaptability will remain the key to thriving in this evolving landscape. By investing in these systems, leveraging their insights and embracing a culture of continuous learning, businesses and professionals can secure their place at the forefront of the carton, board and paper industry for years to come.
