Every label. Every defect. At 300 m/min.
vInspect is the print inspection platform built for narrow-web and flexible packaging lines: full-web 100% inspection, AI defect classification, inline color measurement and closed-loop control — all on a modern web UI your shift can actually use.
More than 10,000,000 meters of label production inspected — every month.
Across deployed lines today, vInspect processes ten million linear meters of printed web per month at full DPI — every label, continuously, in real time.
Inline inspection on shrink-sleeve labels — printed on transparent film.
Built with CCL Label and Chromasens (now Allied Vision): 2 × allPIXA evo 8k color line-scan cameras over a 1060 mm web at 300 dpi, running at 5 m/s (≈300 m/min) — full inline color measurement and defect detection on transparent film, where traditional color control elements can't be used.
“We used to need about 40 minutes for the same job. Now we need less than half an hour. Once the plates are loaded and we start running, we can already tune the colors directly from the image — no more stopping the press to pull a sample sheet. We register everything live, while it's running.”
“The key to the solution lies in the calibration process, which allows us to achieve color measurement accuracy with a color deviation of < ΔE°° 1.3. This means that measurement with the spectral handheld measuring device can be replaced.”
One platform — from the camera bridge to the analytics dashboard.
The short list. AI defect detection, inline color and closed-loop control each get their own deep-dive below — these are the platform capabilities that round out a vInspect line.
100% full inspection
Every printed element on every label is analyzed — not sampled. Nothing slips between the cracks of statistical sampling or sheet-only QA.
300 m/min at 300 DPI
CUDA-accelerated pipelines hold full inspection resolution at production speed, so QA never becomes the bottleneck on a fast press.
Pixel-precise defect position
Every defect is localized to a precise web position so downstream converting can automatically eject or skip the bad section — automated waste removal, not manual sorting.
Single or multi-camera bridge
Scaled to your web width. Industrial line-scan and area cameras deliver pixel-precise inspection on narrow-web and flexible packaging lines alike.
PDF-based proofs
Generate inspection masters directly from PDF separations. No physical first article required — visualize and approve the expected print before press time.
Smart job database
A central library of jobs and reference patterns enables one-click reuse, repeat orders, and dramatically faster set-up across shifts and machines.
Advanced quality analytics
Reproducibility scoring, material deformation (e.g. shrink films), length control versus target — data the QA lead can hand straight to the customer.
Role-based access control
Administrators, operators and view-only roles (e.g. cutting-machine staff). Right people, right screens, right permissions across the plant.
Engineered in Austria
Mechanics, electronics and integration designed and built in Austria. Long-life industrial hardware, serviced by the people who built it.
Operators see decisions — not raw pixels.
Our AI classifier doesn’t just find a defect — it tells you what it is. Print marks vs. real ink misses, intentional splices vs. material flaws, register drift vs. die-cut variation. The shift sees a clean, ranked list and acts on what matters.
Types auto-tagged: ink-miss, register, splice, color, die-cut, contamination.
Critical defects float to the top. Cosmetic noise is suppressed by policy.
Operator annotations feed back into the model — the system gets sharper per shift.
Inspection that doesn’t just measure — it corrects.
vInspect computes per-channel correction values from inline ΔE measurements and pushes them straight to the press control system. Color drift is dampened in real time, before it becomes a waste roll on the floor.
- MeasureInline ΔE per ink channel, sampled across the full web width — every label, every revolution.
- ComputePer-channel correction (more / less ink) with operator-tunable response curves.
- ApplyAdjustments delivered to the press control over the signal service — closed loop, no operator click.
One camera or four — the operator sees a single, perfect web.
vInspect uses deep-learning calibration to harmonize exposure, gain and color across every camera in the bridge. No seams, no banding, no stitched-together inspection results — even on the widest webs and trickiest substrates.
From PDF separation to plant-wide OEE — one pipeline.
vInspect slots into your existing line through the signal service, a Meilhaus measurement card and a shared volume for reference assets. No forklift upgrade required.
- STEP 01
PDF-based proof
Upload PDF separations. vInspect generates the inspection master directly — no physical first-article needed before press time.
- STEP 02
Calibrate
AI multi-camera calibration aligns every camera in the bridge. Lab color calibration sets the ΔE tolerance and emits a certificate.
- STEP 03
Inspect at speed
100% inline inspection at up to 300 m/min · 300 DPI. AI classifies every defect and routes critical items to the right operator role.
- STEP 04
Close the loop
Per-channel ink corrections are computed and pushed to the press control system. Drift is dampened in real time, not at the next reject.
- STEP 05
Hand off to automation
Pixel-precise defect coordinates are forwarded to downstream cutting and converting machines so bad sections are ejected automatically — no manual sorting station, no good labels lost.
- STEP 06
Analyze
PrintSight rolls every job into plant-level OEE, waste and setup analytics — with ranked optimization recommendations.
A web app every operator on every shift can actually use.
Browser-based, multi-client, multi-tab. Operators monitor running jobs, annotate defects and pull historical rolls without installing a thing. Cutting-machine staff get a focused view that only shows what they need to act on.
Camera feeds and KPIs streamed across the plant network.
Admins, printers and view-only roles. Right access for every job.
Use it from the press cockpit, the QA office, the cutting line — at the same time.

Every inspected meter becomes plant-wide insight.
vInspect is the main act — PrintSight is the side show that turns what vInspect already knows into KPIs your plant manager and shift leads can act on. OEE per shift, planned-vs-actual on production time, setup time and waste, with 30-day rolling trends per line.
Mean of Production, Setup and Waste OEE — one headline number per shift.
ΣPlanned vs. ΣActual production time — where lines slip and why.
ΣPlanned vs. ΣActual setup time — minutes lost between every roll, quantified.
ΣPlanned vs. ΣActual waste meters — the most expensive ratio in the plant, exposed.
Real installations. Real presses. Real labels.
