Control each metal box by artificial vision and automatically remove defects

The result to aim for

Babynov, a company of the Materne group that manufactures infant cereals in Courmelles (Aisne), automated the inspection of its metal boxes with an industrial vision system equipped with automatic learning, connected to an ejector.

What was done

According to Agro Media (15 June 2026), the inspection was previously based on visual controls, which were more difficult to maintain when the paces increased. The system, developed with the French company Psycle Research, analyses each box on the line and has been trained to recognize impacts, deformations and ovalisations, which can compromise crimping and sealing. A non-compliant box is ejected without stopping production. Without IA's prior experience of vision, the company first defined objectives, expected performance and detection criteria, in close connection between production teams and provider. Early removal of defective boxes has reduced fills and line stops, and an interface provides access to control data. The provider announces a performance rate of 99.97%; Babynov plans to automate other checkpoints.

The prompt to customise
I want to automate visual control on my production line.

Product and packaging:
Deficiencies to be detected:
Cadence:

1. Writes a specification for an industrial vision provider (detection criteria, acceptable rates of false releases and missed defects, integration, ejection, data).
2. Proposed to pre-production test protocol.
3. List the questions to ask the claimant.

What deserves your attention

The advertised rate comes from the provider: measure yourself false rejections and missed defects on your own boxes, and keep human control by sampling.
