The client is the world’s largest multinational drink and brewing holdings company based in Belgium. In their manufacturing plant, cartons on a high-speed conveyor belt were manually inspected by employees every 15 minutes for damages, such as dents in packaging, errors in barcodes, and other defects. If damages are found, then the conveyor belt is stopped and necessary tweaks need to be made.
In the event of a damaged package escaping the employees check, the client bears all costs involved in shipping the package back from the customer’s location and sending a new one. The client, therefore, wanted to reduce the number of manual errors in the quality control process before any product is shipped.

Quantiphi developed a custom computer vision model that automates the quality control process by accurately detecting errors in the barcode while a product is moving at high speeds on the conveyor belt. This framework also automates the inspection procedure for different types of packages, including quality checks for dimensions, graphics and other defects.
