AUTOMATIC LASER ENGRAVING READING
Traceability is a real industrial issue, becoming more and more important. The Centre Technique du Cuir (CTC) supports French tanneries in their innovation process. Every day, hundreds of animal skins enter the tanneries, and CTC must identify them one by one via unique laser-engraved numbers. Although the characters are often distorted, the OCR technology developed by Neovision enables them to be read automatically, quickly and with greater reliability.
AUTOMATIC MILEAGE READING
For Wine Advisor, Neovision uses its image recognition technology to identify a bottle of wine by its label. However, it is difficult to differentiate between vintages with this technology because the labels are so similar. If the year varies on a bottle label, so does the quality of the wine. This is why Neovision used its OCR technology. Once the bottle is recognised, the OCR technology reads the vintage to ensure optimal identification and better information for users.
LINEAR PRICE SURVEY
As any retail manager knows, studying and analysing merchandising is time consuming. By combining the Neovision image recognition and OCR technologies, it is possible to analyse the shelves of large stores. With a photo, it is possible to recognise the product(s) you are interested in and to read the corresponding price tag. This gives you two crucial pieces of information: your share of the shelf space and the sales price.
METER READING
Reading water or electricity meters is a tedious and time-consuming task. It is therefore not surprising that mistakes are made in entering or declaring data. The problem is that there is no visual record to check the information. In case of doubt, operators ask for a picture of the meter to validate or correct the reading. However, by automating the reading via a photo, all this would be optimised: automatic recording of the reading and visual proof.
ALLERGEN DETECTION
Living with an allergy is not easy. Particular and constant attention must be paid to the composition of the food you eat. However, reading the list of ingredients can be time-consuming – especially when it is long. Inattentional errors are likely to occur. Not to mention people living with a visual impairment… With Neovision OCR technology, you can analyse the composition with a simple photo of the ingredient list. Your allergens are immediately identified and communicated.
SERIAL NUMBER READOUT
As for the Centre Technique du Cuir, the Neovision OCR technology allows to read different types of serial numbers allowing to identify – in an automatic, fast, and reliable way – each product. This application meets the growing need for traceability of manufactured products. Regardless of the media or the format of the characters to be detected and read, Neovision OCR technology provides the best possible performance, ensuring a high level of reliability of the results.
