Packaging Inspection

Label and Packaging Quality Inspection for Food Products

Automated AI inspection ensures 100% label accuracy, barcode readability, and packaging integrity for food products using Boolean & Beyond's vision systems.

The Problem: Label Errors Causing Costly Recalls

  • Wrong allergen information risking consumer safety
  • Mismatched batch codes and expiry dates
  • Unreadable barcodes causing retail rejection
  • Incorrect MRP or nutritional information
  • Regional language label requirements adding complexity

Hidden Costs of Labeling Errors

  • Allergen mislabeling recalls cost ₹2-10 crore average
  • Retailer chargebacks for unreadable barcodes (2-5% of shipments)
  • Regulatory fines for incorrect labeling
  • Production line stops for relabeling
  • Consumer trust erosion from repeated errors

How AI Label & Packaging Inspection Works for Food Products

AI-powered inspection systems use high‑resolution cameras and deep learning models to verify every aspect of food packaging at full production speed. The solution checks:

  • Label placement & orientation
  • Text accuracy (including multi‑language OCR)
  • Barcode & QR code readability
  • Date / batch code correctness
  • Allergen declarations & nutritional information
  • Regulatory text and mandatory declarations
  • Packaging integrity (dents, tears, smudges, misaligned closures, damaged labels)

Deep learning models detect subtle issues that manual inspection often misses, such as smudged or incomplete print, misaligned labels, incorrect batch or date codes, and wrong‑language labels.

Boolean & Beyond’s Deployment for Food Packaging Lines

Boolean & Beyond deploys AI label and packaging inspection across food manufacturing plants in Bengaluru, Coimbatore, Chennai, and across India. The system supports all major packaging formats:

  • Pouches and sachets
  • Cartons and boxes
  • Bottles and jars
  • Cans and tins
  • Flexible and shrink packaging

Implementation starts with:

  1. Mapping specifications – label artworks, regulatory requirements, and customer / retailer packaging standards.
  2. Defining inspection rules – for each SKU: text fields, allergen statements, nutrition panels, barcodes, date/batch code formats, and language variants.
  3. Camera placement – at key points on the line:
  • After labelling
  • After date/batch coding
  • Final pack / carton inspection
  1. Multi‑SKU handling – automatic recipe changeover when SKUs change, so inspection rules, regions of interest, and tolerances switch instantly without manual re‑setup.

Compliance & Recall Prevention

Label mistakes are among the top causes of food product recalls worldwide. Boolean & Beyond’s AI inspection helps prevent:

  • Wrong or missing allergen declarations
  • Incorrect or outdated nutritional information
  • Missing or incomplete regulatory text
  • Wrong‑language labels for export products
  • Incorrect or unreadable date / batch codes

The system verifies:

  • FSSAI mandatory declarations for India
  • FDA labelling requirements for export markets
  • Retailer‑specific packaging standards and private‑label guidelines

Every inspected pack is logged with timestamped images and inspection results, creating an audit‑ready digital record that demonstrates 100% inspection coverage and supports regulatory and customer audits.

Operational Benefits & ROI

Food manufacturers using Boolean & Beyond’s AI packaging inspection typically achieve:

  • 90–99% reduction in labelling errors reaching consumers
  • Near‑zero customer complaints related to packaging quality (unreadable barcodes, damaged labels, wrong or missing date codes)
  • Higher line speeds by replacing manual sampling with automated 100% inspection
  • 60–80% reduction in manual inspection labour, while improving detection accuracy

For food exporters in Bengaluru, Coimbatore, and other hubs, where a single mislabelling‑driven recall can cost crores of rupees, typical ROI is achieved within 3–6 months. The result is stronger compliance, fewer recalls, better customer satisfaction, and more efficient packaging operations.
