OCV Systems

Verifiable accuracy and compliance through efficient optical verification systems

An OCV system, or Optical Character Verification system, is a technology used in labeling and manufacturing to check if printed text and graphics comply with required standards and are legible and correct. The system uses cameras and software to scan the text on the label and verify its accuracy against the pre-set criteria. This helps to confirm that the label meets quality measures and is commonly used in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and other manufacturing industries.

FAQs

What is the difference between an OCV system and an OCR system?

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a method for identifying printed characters on a package surface. OCR is ideal for variable text fields, where it may not be possible to know what text string will be on the production line. The tool compares a given character image against all the characters in a pre-defined font to find the closest match.

Optical Character Verification (OCV), on the other hand, is looking for a pre-defined value – it is used to check for the accuracy of a code rather than determine what a code is.

OCV and OCR technology can be used in manufacturing facilities for quality checks - for example, as part of a product inspection program that includes package data quality inspection in the food and beverage industry. Machine vision inspection manufacturers such as METTLER TOLEDO CI-Vision offer vision inspection systems with OCV and OCR capabilities for printed data and code verification requirements.
