How can a box plant use computer vision to check corrugated board and finished boxes?

Each flag is tagged with the order, the machine and the time, so the operator can trace a run of defects to a setting or a roll and fix it before the whole order is made. Bundles with flagged boxes can be pulled for a closer look. The quality lead reviews the flags each shift and decides what is reworked, held or shipped. The model does not replace crush tests, moisture checks or customer specs, which stay in place, and people make every quality and shipping call."

# How can a box plant use computer vision to check corrugated board and finished boxes?

Cameras over the corrugator, the converting line and the folder-gluer take photos of board and boxes as they pass. A model trained on the plant own images, labeled against its own specs, marks likely issues such as warp, crushed flutes, blisters, delamination, scuffs, poor print registration, smeared or missing print, wrong slots or scores and glue flaps that are open or skewed. Each flag is tagged with the order, the machine and the time, so the operator can trace a run of defects to a setting or a roll and fix it before the whole order is made. Bundles with flagged boxes can be pulled for a closer look. The quality lead reviews the flags each shift and decides what is reworked, held or shipped. The model does not replace crush tests, moisture checks or customer specs, which stay in place, and people make every quality and shipping call.

## What this means in practice

- Start with one machine, such as the folder-gluer.
- Label photos from your own board and boxes against your own specs.
- Tag each flag with the order, machine and time.
- Pull flagged bundles for a closer look before shipping.
- Keep crush tests and moisture checks in place.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
