Verifying Label Alignment


Misaligned labels on high-speed packaging lines can lead to costly product recalls, damage to brand reputation, and potential regulatory non-compliance. Automated label position measurement uses cameras and inspection software to capture each package in real time, measure horizontal and vertical placement, and detect rotation or skew. The system compares results against predefined tolerances, triggers alerts or rejects when needed, and records evidence in the form of images if required. Operations standardize checks across shifts, gain trend visibility, and sustain quality at full production speed.

Automate label alignment at production speed

Zebra smart cameras verify label position in real time. Images are captured of each container at high speed and checked to calculate horizontal and vertical offsets, rotation, and skew against user-defined tolerances. The system delivers pass/fail results with measurement values and confidence scores, then triggers an automated reject mechanism or alerts operators as needed. Robust error handling covers no-reads, occlusions, and out-of-format packages, and can pause or re-inspect based on defined rules.

Aurora Vision software inspects product label position, verifying alignment and text accuracy.

Elevate quality with data and traceability

Aurora Design Assistant machine vision software creates a verifiable trail for every unit. The application stores accurate, real-time results and selected images with timestamps, which simplifies audits and supports investigations into defects or errors. Teams can review inspection performance via customizable operator views to spot drift early to adjust upstream settings. Data exports to enterprise systems turn inspection results into continuous improvement without adding manual paperwork.
