The stand-up pouch

Yes, provided the pouch carries a readable identifier (QR code, Data Matrix, best-before date). The system reads the code, links the inspection result to the identifier and sends the information to the MES for complete unit-level traceability.

Fine creases on transparent film, partial delamination and micro-leaks with no visible trace are the most demanding cases. They require low-angle or structured lighting and AI models trained on real defects, not just simulations.

By archiving unit-level inspection images and results, the system makes it possible to correlate a drift in defects with a change in a process parameter: sealing temperature, forming pressure, film batch. This is one of the key functions of PAQ, Psycle's quality monitoring platform, available in the Cloud hosted in France or On-Premises.

A gradual drift in forming is visible in the inspection data well before it reaches the reject threshold. The system raises an alert as soon as the distribution of measurements leaves the nominal range, so the machine settings can be adjusted in time.

This is one of the most common use cases. By configuring a recipe dedicated to the new format, the system collects inspection data from the very first batches and enables fast statistical validation, without waiting for feedback from the field.

Yes. Vision systems operate in real time without creating a bottleneck on the line. The acquisition frequency is matched to the machine rate during the optical study phase; at Psycle, this step comes before any hardware procurement.

Vision inspects the continuity, width and position of the seal on 100% of units. It raises an alert as soon as an incomplete, missing or out-of-tolerance seal is detected, without waiting for a sampling inspection.
