Mark Sensor detects whether beverage cartons have QR codes

Company Overview

The customer is the Gansu production base of Dali Foods. As a well-known global food manufacturer, Dali Foods focuses on providing high-quality products and excellent service. On beverage production lines, cartons labeled with correct QR codes are essential for traceability, logistics management, and consumer experience. However, automatic labeling machines can sometimes miss applying QR codes. Dali Foods therefore sought a fast and accurate solution to verify QR code labeling on cartons.

Project Requirement

To address Dali Foods' needs on the beverage line, the customer wanted to introduce a sensor to detect QR code labels on cartons. The technology must be efficient, reliable, and cost-effective to ensure line stability and efficiency. Introducing this technology will improve automation and reduce issues from manual errors.

Solution

We recommend the Atonm Mark Sensor CL3 as the solution. This compact integrated sensor fits constrained installation spaces on beverage lines and supports both color and mark modes to adapt to different labeling requirements while providing excellent performance.

The Atonm Mark Sensor CL3 uses a two-point setup to detect marks at specified positions and accurately determine whether a carton has a QR code label. The sensor also provides adjustable detection hysteresis to eliminate vibration effects and ensure stable detection.

Compared to traditional methods, the Atonm Mark Sensor CL3 is lower cost without compromising performance. The dual-mode combination of color and light-intensity detection yields more stable and reliable results. This reliability ensures consistent label detection and improves traceability and logistics accuracy.
