High-volume manufacturers—spanning food, beverage, cosmetics, and consumer goods—operate under rigorous regulatory and quality requirements, yet many still rely on manual inspections or outdated technologies to validate packaging date and lot codes. They need a faster, more dependable system to ensure every product leaving the facility is correctly marked. Zebra’s AI OCR vision system combines the power of Aurora Focus software with our NS42 smart vision sensor and FS42 fixed industrial scanner to deliver a fast, accurate solution. Achieving read times as fast as 40 milliseconds, throughput up to 900 products per minute, and near 100% accuracy on hard-to-read surfaces, Zebra machine vision turns date and lot code inspection from a challenge into a competitive advantage.
