Batch expiry print verification, lot code vision inspection, and variable-data checks on packaging lines — positioned under Optomech LIS (label inspection). Honest print verification via vision — not a fake serialization or track-and-trace product.
OCR (optical character recognition) and OCV (optical character verification) use machine vision to check that batch codes, lot numbers, and expiry dates printed on labels or packs are present, readable, and correct for that run.
On pharmaceutical and FMCG lines in India, an unreadable expiry or a wrong lot code is a recall and audit risk. A handheld scanner beep only proves one unit decoded once — it does not prove every pack matches the batch recipe.
Optomech’s Label Inspection System (LIS) already covers label presence, placement, and barcode checks. OCR/OCV is the primary landing for variable-data print verification — batch expiry, lot codes, and related printed strings — engineered as an LIS add-on/capability.
Honest positioning: Optomech verifies printed variable data with vision. This page is not a CDSCO serialization portal, DSCSA track-and-trace suite, or end-to-end coding software product. If you need integration to an existing coder/ERP recipe, we scope that as application engineering — not as a fake catalogue claim.
The station mounts after labelling / coding so every pack’s variable print can be read or verified against the expected batch recipe — alongside Optomech label presence and barcode checks.

OCR/OCV and LIS checks are often combined in one vision programme — exact camera count depends on code location and bottle geometry.
Target keywords map to real inspection jobs: OCR/OCV for pharma packaging in India, batch expiry print verification, lot code vision inspection, and label OCR machines that catch wrong or unreadable codes at line speed.
Lighting and camera geometry are chosen for the print method and substrate so characters stay high-contrast at line speed — whether codes sit on wrap labels, cartons, or sleeves.
Labelled / coded packs pass the Optomech inspection head, triggered by encoder or photocell at production speed.
Industrial cameras with application lighting capture the variable-data region (and label/barcode ROIs when combined with LIS).
Software reads or verifies characters against the expected batch/expiry string and quality thresholds — pass or reject in real time.
Defective packs are ejected. Images and counts support QA review, coder tuning, and audit trails.
Camera and lens choice for inkjet, thermal-transfer, or laser codes on curved bottles, flats, or cartons — validated on your samples.
Lighting selected so dark-on-light or light-on-dark codes remain stable under factory ambient light across SKUs.
Per-SKU recipes store ROI, fonts/templates, and expected batch/expiry patterns recalled at changeover.
Designed as part of Optomech’s packaging vision stack — combine label OCR with bottle and cap inspection in one line programme.
Wrong or unreadable codes removed without stopping the conveyor. Confirm-eject options where the line requires it.
Live images and recent rejects help operators catch coder nozzle faults or wrong-batch strings early in the shift.
Role-based access protects expected-string settings. Reporting supports QA and customer audit needs on pharma/FMCG lines.
Hyderabad engineers can assist with diagnostics and parameter updates remotely when site access is limited.

Specifications are application-dependent. Optomech does not invent fictional serialization SKUs or list prices on this page. Contact sales@optomech.in with sample packs, print method, and line speed for an engineered proposal.
Any packaging line where wrong or unreadable batch, lot, or expiry text creates regulatory, retailer, or brand exposure benefits from 100% print verification.
Primary and secondary pharma packs where batch number and expiry legibility are GMP-critical. OCR/OCV under LIS complements bottle and cap stations on the same plant.
Food, beverage secondary, nutraceutical, and personal-care lines where lot/expiry errors drive retailer rejections and consumer complaints.
High changeover environments where stale batch strings after SKU switch are a frequent failure mode — recipes and expected strings reduce human error.
Optomech engineers packaging vision as a coherent stack — not disconnected gadgets. OCR/OCV is the variable-data layer that sits with label inspection and alongside bottle and closure systems.
Optomech designs and manufactures machine vision inspection equipment in Hyderabad. OCR/OCV inherits the same engineering discipline as LIS, BIS, and CIS.
We market OCR/OCV as an LIS capability for print verification — not as a competing track-and-trace narrative against dedicated serialization specialists.
Fonts, contrast, code location, and expected strings are validated on your packs. No brochure-only claims or invented model prices on this page.
Engineers install, tune OCR/OCV recipes, train operators, and stay until reject behaviour is understood for your print methods.
Service via +91-9032364140 (Chinthaya) and info@optomech.in — local support when a coder fault floods the line with bad dates.
Manufacturers across pharma, plastics, and FMCG already run Optomech vision systems. OCR/OCV extends that same partnership model.
