Label and code inspection system
Reads labels, barcodes, and date and lot codes on every pack and rejects mismatches.

Machine vision integration for production lines
We design, build, and integrate machine vision systems that inspect products for defects, read and grade codes, and keep traceability records, all connected to your PLCs and robots.
What goes wrong on production lines?
The fault↓The fix
Wrong label, wrong product
The pack carries the wrong label or allergen information.
Reads every label and rejects any that don't match the job.
Barcode reading →Codes that don't read
Barcodes, date codes, or lot codes are missing or unreadable.
Reads every code, with ISO grading where required.
Barcode reading →Bad seals
Seals are open or damaged before packing.
Inspects visible seals and rejects bad packs.
Vision inspection →Caps and fill
Caps are high, tilted, or missing, or fill is low.
Checks cap position and fill level on every container.
Vision inspection →Serials that don't match
Unit, case, and pallet serials or UDI codes don't match.
Reads every serial and sends results to your serialization software.
Traceability →Systems
Which machine vision systems does JM Automated Solutions build?
We design, build, and install each system, including cameras, lighting, frame, reject, PLC wiring, and safety wiring. We choose cameras and software from leading vendors to fit your line.
Code grading system
Grades barcode quality to ISO standards where customers or regulators require it.
Specs →
Every system connects to your PLC for rejects and line signals, and it can share data with robots.

By industry
Find the system for your line
We build each system around your product and line, for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, medical device, and packaging lines. Choose your area, then pick the problem that sounds like yours. You'll see why it happens and how a machine vision system detects it.

From feasibility study to site acceptance
How we work
- 1
Feasibility study
Send us samples of good and bad product, and we'll tell you in writing whether a machine vision system can reliably detect the defect or code error.
- 2
Proposal and design
We design the system around your line and send a proposal with the scope, price, and schedule.
- 3
Build and test
We build the system and test it with sample parts you send us before it ships.
- 4
Install and dry run
We install the system on your line and run it with the reject turned off, so your team can review its decisions first.
- 5
Site acceptance and handover
After you sign off, we turn on the reject, train your operators, and provide documentation to support your IQ/OQ process.
Find out if machine vision can solve it
Send us samples of good and bad product. You'll get a written answer before any proposal or price.

Traceability
Know exactly what ran on every lot
Our systems check that every lot and date code matches the job, save each reject with its image and reason, and send the data to your traceability, serialization, and quality software. When a problem turns up, you can find the affected lots instead of pulling everything.
- Protect your retail shipments. Readable case and pallet labels that match the shipping notice help you avoid retailer chargebacks.
- Keep pharmaceutical shipments moving. Accurate unit, case, and pallet reads help reduce DSCSA exceptions and quarantined shipments.
- Catch UDI label errors before they ship. The station reads and grades the UDI on each medical device label and rejects unreadable or mismatched codes.
- Be ready for what's next. Our systems read today's barcodes and the 2D codes retailers are moving to, and they can supply data for the records your plant keeps under FDA's food traceability rule, which takes effect in July 2028.
