Bandrol Camera Control System
Bandrol checks on shipment-ready cartons across Mey Diageo plants were automated with a camera-based system.
Central assurance for legal bandrol compliance
Bandrol checks on shipment-ready cartons across Mey Diageo plants were automated with a camera-based system.
The project ensured that the legally required bandrol is present on every carton.
Risk of shipping cartons with missing bandrol
Bandrol presence had to be checked reliably and cartons with missing bandrol had to be prevented from entering shipment flow.
- 01Manual Check RiskManual bandrol inspection increased the probability of human error.
- 02Legal Compliance PressureShipping a carton with missing bandrol created legal risk.
- 03Operational Safety NeedBandrol control had to run automatically and consistently across the line.
Camera-based automatic control with reject separation
Work order selection automatically sends the relevant camera job; carton serial reading, bandrol presence check, and automatic reject routing are managed in one flow.
Work Order and Camera Job Matching
The camera job is loaded automatically according to the selected work order.
Carton Serial Reading
Carton serial numbers are read by barcode scanners as cartons pass the station.
Bandrol Presence Check
The camera unit performs automatic presence/absence inspection.
Automatic Reject Routing
Cartons with missing bandrol are diverted to reject line; only compliant cartons continue.
Barcode scanners, camera control unit, reject mechanism, PLC
Barcode Scanners
Read carton serial numbers and trigger the control data flow.
Camera Control Unit
Automatically inspects bandrol presence and returns result signals.
Reject Mechanism
Automatically removes cartons with missing bandrol from shipment stream.
PLC and OnSuite Trace
Manages field logic and central traceability of inspection outcomes.
Central process control with SAP and traceability system
The system is integrated with SAP. Work order is selected in traceability system, camera job is loaded automatically, and serial + inspection results are linked centrally in SAP.
Camera parameters are loaded automatically based on selected work order.
Carton serial numbers and bandrol inspection outcomes are centrally correlated and reported in SAP.
Legal compliance, shipment accuracy, process safety
Eliminated Manual Error Risk
Camera-based automation removed manual-inspection-related error risk.
Prevented Missing-Bandrol Shipments
Automatic reject routing prevented non-compliant cartons from reaching shipment.
Central and Secure Flow
Serial reading plus automatic separation improved shipment accuracy and operational safety.
