PouchHERO Series
For flexible packaging converters, pouch defects are often found too late—after bags are already made, packed or delivered. Manual checking is slow, inconsistent and difficult to rely on when bag-making lines run continuously.
PouchHERO is an inline inspection system designed for bag-making machines, helping converters detect, classify and remove defective pouches during production. It supports common cutting methods such as single-cut and double-cut bag making, and is suitable for food, daily chemical and other flexible packaging applications.
Powered by AI inspection and precise defect positioning, PouchHERO detects visible defects such as white spots, black spots, text and graphic defects, knife lines, foreign objects, dirty lines, color variation and coding defects. It helps reduce manual inspection, improve finished pouch quality and prevent defective bags from reaching customers.
Why PouchHERO? Your Benefits at a Glance.
-
Inspect Every Pouch Before It Leaves the Line
PouchHERO performs inline visual inspection during bag making, helping operators detect defects before finished pouches move to packing, delivery or customer use.
-
Fast Setup for Changing Jobs
With AI-assisted modeling and simplified setup, operators can build inspection templates quickly and start production with less parameter adjustment.
-
Detect Critical Pouch Defects with Precision
PouchHERO detects common pouch defects such as white spots, black spots, text and graphic defects, knife lines, foreign objects, dirty lines, color variation, hot stamping defects and coding defects.
-
Classify Defects and Remove Them Accurately
