OCR / OCV
CT OCR / OCV — Industrial Optical Character Recognition
A retrainable industrial OCR engine purpose-built for batch code, expiry date, and print verification. Unlike general OCR, it handles metal-embossed text, low-contrast CIJ inkjet, laser engraving, and same-color printing at production speeds up to 400 PPM.

Key Features
5 Print-Type Support
CIJ inkjet, laser engraving, metal emboss, foil print, thermal transfer — one retrainable engine.
Any Orientation
Reads rotated, skewed, multi-line text without pre-alignment. Works on curved bottles and cans.
Same-Color Detection
Detects same-color-on-same-color embossed text that standard OCR fails on completely.
Expiry Date Validation
Logic-level date checks — catches transposed digits, future/past errors, and format violations.
Use Cases
- Batch code and expiry verification on FMCG packaging (pouches, bottles, cartons)
- MRP price verification on retail packaging
- Laser-engraved serial reading on metal components
- CIJ date-code inspection on beverage cans and bottles
- Embossed batch code verification on pharma blister packs
FAQ
It is trained for industrial print: low-contrast CIJ, metal emboss, laser, and same-color text at line speed — cases where generic OCR fails. It is also retrainable on your fonts and surfaces.
