The packaging industry plays a central role in the value chain by moulding materials such as paper, plastic, glass and metal into packaging that protects, stores and transports products and extends their shelf life. In addition, the packaging industry contributes to branding by designing visual and functional elements that enhance the consumer experience. It serves numerous sectors such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and electronics and is strongly characterised by innovations in areas such as sustainability and recycling.
The use of AI image analyses in production can increase quality and efficiency. Vision AI enables the automated inspection of packaging in real time, allowing printing errors, deformations, leaks or incompleteness to be quickly recognised and corrected. This reduces waste and rework and ensures greater customer satisfaction.
Vision AI also supports compliance with safety and quality standards by ensuring that all packaging fulfils the required specifications, which is particularly essential for (sterile) medical devices. The use of AI image analysis enables cost-efficient and reliable production.
