In the modern production era, where quality is synonymous with brand reputation and business survival, the question: "Are you checking quality or just 'looking the part'?" is not just a reminder, but also a wake-up call.

In manufacturing plants, visual quality inspection has been the norm for decades. However, in a context of fierce competition, pressure on productivity and a growing shortage of skilled workers, continued reliance on human factors for inspection processes is becoming a fatal weakness.

Choosing a “cheap” machine vision system is not as simple as looking at the initial cost. You need to consider the total cost of ownership (TCO): downtime, maintenance costs, scrap, and scalability. With the AVATECH strategy – Advanced Vision + Smart Software + Total Insight, we are committed to helping you:

In the era of Industry 4.0, machine vision systems are no longer a strange technology. Many factories are applying it to check quality, automate production and reduce human dependence. However, a common reality is that businesses are often attracted to cheap vision systems, especially from China. This seems like a wise financial decision — but in reality, it can be a "trap" that makes businesses silently lose money every day without knowing it.

How a beverage factory in Ho Chi Minh City reduced 80% of label errors after only 1 month of implementing AVATECH's automatic inspection system?

In a modern food production line, quality is no longer just a "nice to have" factor - it has become a condition for survival. A small mistake in packaging, a burn mark on the surface, or a foreign object left behind... can all lead to major consequences: returned goods, loss of consumer trust, product recalls, or even contract bankruptcy. In this context, AI cameras (machine vision systems using artificial intelligence) are becoming the new "technological referee" - completely changing the way businesses control quality.

In modern manufacturing, errors are not only a technical risk but also a high price – from financial losses, loss of brand reputation to the risk of mass recalls. One of the common reasons for product returns is due to errors not being detected in time before packaging. However, thanks to intelligent inspection systems using machine vision (AI Vision), businesses can completely control quality right from the beginning of the chain, avoiding risks right from within the production line.

"Spring Reunion 2025" is not only a networking event but also a place to promote cooperation, spread corporate values ​​and update new business trends. Avatech is proud to contribute to bringing advanced technology solutions, accompanying Vietnamese enterprises in the digital age.

The surrounding environmental temperature, air humidity, weight of the preform, or percentage of recycled material... if these environmental parameters change, the blow molding process must also be adjusted or even reset. However, instead of relying on operators, this task is now handled by the intelligent control system Contiloop AI – precise, fast, and fully automated thanks to artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is booming. And it is no surprise that it offers businesses unprecedented capabilities – while also presenting them with certain challenges.

Improving the efficiency of your packaging line is essential for businesses that want to stay competitive and profitable. A more efficient packaging line can help reduce costs, improve productivity, and increase customer satisfaction. Adding an inspection system to your packaging line can help reduce poor seals and increase overall efficiency.

SWIR Camera imaging technology can unlock information hidden beyond our normal field of vision. SWIR sensors capture light waves in the SWIR wavelength range, revealing valuable information that our eyes cannot perceive. From manufacturing to security to agriculture, these systems provide insight into a wide range of industries.

A thermal camera or thermal imaging camera (infrared camera) is a device that uses infrared radiation to create images depicting temperature variations on an object or landscape. Unlike conventional cameras that capture visible light, thermal imaging cameras capture infrared radiation emitted by objects based on their temperature.

Inspection of food, beverages and related packaging requires the ability to process images for a variety of parameters such as size, shape, color, flaws and finish. To achieve this, optimization of illumination brightness, uniformity and geometry is critical to achieving images with good contrast and reasonable signal/noise. Additionally, the varying light absorption properties of organic and inorganic materials can make it difficult to select the appropriate wavelength for these applications. To make the best lighting choices, engineers and integrators must understand the fundamentals of illumination and the latest technologies to ensure the best results.

Yogurt is a dairy product made by bacteria fermenting milk. Yogurt is white, chewy, and has a sour taste due to the fermentation of lactic sugar combined with the sweetness of milk. Yogurt contains many minerals such as: Calcium, zinc, lactic acid, vitamin A, vitamin C... Therefore, the nutritional content of this food is very high.

“Product label” is the outermost layer of packaging that contains information such as the product name, type, manufacturer, contents and any warnings or instructions for proper use. This may be printed directly on the packaging surface or it may be a separate plastic film or paper label coated with adhesive or heat shrink or any other method. Product labeling is a form for manufacturers to communicate to consumers about product information. It is also a deciding factor in whether consumers choose one product over another. In addition, the information on the label is also extremely necessary, for example: In the food and beverage industry: product labels inform customers about the ingredients used in the product, including possible allergens. In other industries such as household chemicals or personal care products, product labels contain important instructions for use, toxicology warnings, and proper handling in case of accidental exposure and ingestion.

360° Label Inspection is an inspection system specifically designed for quality control of conical, cylindrical, oval products with 360° labels. Therefore, the system's hardware and software focus on errors that can commonly occur during the labeling process with self-adhesive labels.

Regular testing is required to ensure that contaminant detectors operate within specified sensitivity standards. Testing must verify that contaminants are reliably detected and that, in the event of product contamination, the appropriate separation mechanisms and signal/alarm devices are activated.

All food intended for human consumption must be absolutely pure and clean. This is one of the most important requirements in the food industry. A decisive criterion here is that the product leaving the factory is free from metal and other contaminants. Testing products for metal contamination has become an integral part of the food production process, an inherent part of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and a prerequisite for successful IFS certification.

Product testing has become an indispensable element in the food production process, being an absolute prerequisite for obtaining IFS certification. Contamination of food in any form can have serious consequences for the company, because under product liability law, every food manufacturer is responsible for the contamination of its products in case the consumer is harmed by such contamination. Contaminant testing systems are used to prevent such problems. Metal detectors are most useful for detecting magnetic and non-magnetic metals, but they also have their own limitations, for example in the inspection of aluminium-coated packaging materials.
