Design of Automated Visual Inspection System for Beverage Industry Production Line

Abstract

This paper provides an overall design and implementation perspective of a laboratory-scale automated visual inspection system for the beverage industry's production line. A case study has been undertaken where the image processing algorithm inspects the beverage bottle for any defects. Different defects such as improper labeling and improper liquid level can be detected using the image processing algorithm. A laboratory prototype of the conveyor belt has been built, and a prototype filling plant has been established to verify the simulation results.

Case Analysis of Coca-Cola’s Sustainability

“…In addition, the Coca-Cola Company has adopted an automated visual inspection system. This system automatically collects images and data of the bottles so that problematic products can be detected [4]. Since Coca-Cola beverages are mainly composed of sugar, there is no material cost pressure.…”

Downtime Reduction with Fast Restart Function in a Beverage Production System

“…Nowadays, the rapid pace of economic growth has resulted in increased business competition. The unlimited needs of humans are the driving force for acquiring new knowledge, thereby leading to the development of various technologies over time [3]. This economic expansion and the efforts of various industries have led to the development of high-capacity production machines to address the competition.…”
