The Association Station handles the verification of serial numbers and facilitates bottle aggregation into secondary packages without affecting the production flow.
HOW IT WORKS
INFEED
The bottle flow is controlled to ensure proper spacing to the Association Station.
TRACKING CODE PRESENCE VERIFICATION
A camera verifies if a tracking code is already present on the bottle cap by comparing the acquired image to the reference image.
PRINTING
If no UV tracking code was detected, a tracking code is printed on the bottle cap.
INSPECTION, VERIFICATION ANS ASSOCIATION
A 360 degree camera setup inspects and verifies the EPC on the bottle label and another camera inspects the tracking code. If both inspections are successful, the tracking code is associated to the bottle EPC.
EJECTION
If the EPC or tracking code inspection failed, the bottle is ejected, with confirmation that the bottle is no longer on the conveyor belt beyond the ejection zone.
