Weight Validation for Content Verification

Reducing manual inspection time in a production line with a combination weighing apparatus and packaging apparatus by associating weighing values with packaging data. The production management device generates production information associating the weighing value of articles weighed by the combination weighing apparatus with the identification number of the packaging material they were packaged in. This allows tracking the exact weight of packaged products without manual inspection.

A device and method for accurately confirming whether a fixed amount of liquid or gel is being injected into containers during filling processes. The device uses two electronic scales, one to weigh empty containers and another to weigh filled containers, to calculate the injection amount by the weight difference. This calculated amount is compared against a set tolerance to determine if the fill is quantitative. A display shows whether the fill is within tolerance, with different colors for inside vs outside. If the fill is out of tolerance, an adjustment step can recalibrate the injection amount.

System for validating the contents of drug product packages using AI to overcome challenges posed by different packaging systems and imaging conditions. The system receives images of drug packages, detects characteristics associated with the packaging system, and generates modified images optimized for validation. This compensates for factors like lighting, packaging materials, and labeling that can affect image quality. By adjusting the images based on the packaging system, it improves accuracy of content validation across different packaging types and environments.

Banknote stacking apparatus and system for accurately determining the number of banknote bundles in a packaged group using weight measurements. The apparatus has separate weight sensors to measure the weight of individual banknote bundles and the weight of bundled groups. By comparing the weights, it decides if the number of bundled in a group is less than the expected amount. This provides more accurate detection compared to visual or optical methods since weight is less affected by factors like color.

Reducing false positives in loss prevention systems at self-checkout kiosks by accurately detecting when a customer adds packaging versus unscanned items. The system tracks the weight of selected packaging from a dispenser and compares it to the weight in the checkout area before and after the packaging is moved there. If the weight difference falls outside the expected range for that packaging type, it indicates an unscanned item was added. This prevents false alerts from heavy bags or boxes triggering loss prevention when the weight is simply from the packaging.

Device and method for monitoring product packaging to ensure consistent product count before and after packaging. The method involves weighing the final packed bag and comparing the weight to a theoretical value calculated from the packaging parameters. If the weights don't match, it indicates a packaging failure. This allows catching issues like missed products during packing. The device can alert and reject faulty bags.

Detecting the number of banknote bundles accurately without using optical sensors by comparing weights. The technique involves measuring the weight of individual hundred-sheet banknote bundles and comparing it to the weight of a thousand-sheet bundle. If the thousand-sheet bundle weight is less than expected based on the hundred-sheet bundle weight, it indicates fewer hundred-sheet bundles were used to make the thousand-sheet bundle. This allows detecting if some bundles were lost or missed during processing.

Packaging system for labeling packages with the associated price for the packaged product. The system has a sealing station for packaging products, an upstream weighing device to determine product weight, and a printing device to print weight and price info on the packaging. A downstream inspection device checks the printed info matches the actual weight. This allows verifying pricing accuracy before sealing. It reduces space compared to checking after sealing.
