A modern AI-powered web inspection system detects:

• Color variation and ΔE color density deviation

• Missing or faded text, numbers, and barcodes

• QR code and GS1 DataMatrix errors

• Streaks, scratches, and surface contamination

• Pinholes and voids in ink coverage

• Print registration errors and misalignment

• Dot-missing, ink splatter, and halo effects

• Edge defects and web wandering artifacts

• Any structural deviation from the approved PDF master file

Yes. All SICHANGO web inspection systems are available as retrofit installations for existing presses. The mounting hardware is adjustable and custom-engineered per machine brand and model.

• Narrow web presses: Installation typically under 1 day

• Wide web gravure lines: 1–2 days

SICHANGO provides installation drawings, remote commissioning, and on-site service for select regions. No major press modifications are required.

ACS (Auto Capture Scanning) automatically sweeps the inspection camera horizontally or vertically across the full print repeat to generate a complete panoramic image of the web — without any manual operator panning.

ACS follows a pre-defined scanning sequence and stitches captured images into a single high-resolution layout view. Especially useful during initial job setup, proofing, and high-precision tasks where full repeat visibility is critical before production speed increases.

PPS (Print Position Storage) saves all inspection parameters for each print job — camera positions, ROI zones, zoom levels, reference coordinates, and detection thresholds.

On repeat orders, the system reloads all parameters automatically with a single action.

Yes. The Overseer 200 Dual System and Observer 4000R both support dual-camera synchronized inspection. The Overseer 200 Dual enables simultaneous front-and-back inspection of double-sided printed webs with real-time split-screen display.

Cameras operate in synchronized mode (same encoder pulse) or independently — widely used for double-sided label printing and flexible film packaging lines.

• Scout 3: Narrow web rotary and combination presses. Manual camera movement via keyboard. Web widths up to 330 mm.

• Observer 4000R: Wide web presses with manual traverse (keyboard + hand move). Higher resolution and wider field of view.

• Observer 4000M: Wide web with motorized traverse + remote keyboard. Camera moves automatically to pre-set inspection zones — no manual intervention. Ideal for high-speed gravure and wide-format flexo lines.

A web inspection system (Observer / Overseer) uses one or two cameras with motorized traverse or ACS scanning to inspect across the full print repeat — covering the web sequentially.

A 100% print inspection system (OC 330/450 Series) uses a wide-format line-scan camera spanning the full web width in one frame — guaranteeing every millimeter is captured simultaneously with no scanning gaps.

Traditional camera viewers (legacy Fife InPrint, BST Powerscope) display a video feed monitored manually by operators — covering only part of the web at any instant, requiring mechanical scanning, and lacking automated defect logic.

AI-powered systems like the SICHANGO Overseer 100 use deep learning models trained on thousands of real defect images to automatically compare every print against the approved PDF master, classifying deviations by type and severity in real time — generating alerts, defect counters, and annotated defect maps without operator intervention.

Yes. The SICHANGO Overseer 100 includes:

• Live API connectivity to MIS, ERP, and QMS platforms

• OPC-UA output for SCADA integration

• Cloud-based quality reporting and OEE dashboards

• Per-job defect analytics stored in a central database

• ISO 9001 and GMP compliance reporting — no manual data export required

SICHANGO uses high-brightness adjustable LED illumination configured per substrate type:

• Metallized film / foil: Polarized or angled lighting suppresses specular reflection

• Transparent / clear substrates: Transmitted-light or diffuse-backlight configurations

• Textured / matte paper: Raking-angle illumination highlights surface defects

The AI detection engine uses substrate-specific defect libraries to keep false rejection rates low. All settings are stored via PPS for repeat orders.

Customers typically achieve full ROI within 6–18 months. Key value drivers:

• Reduced material waste: Catching a defective roll at meter 50 vs. meter 5,000 saves thousands of meters of substrate and ink

• Elimination of reprints and costly customer returns

• Lower QC labor costs through automation

• Prevention of product recalls — a single pharmaceutical mislabeling event can cost millions

Yes. The SICHANGO Overseer 100 supports pharmaceutical packaging compliance with:

• 100% barcode and GS1 DataMatrix 2D code verification

• Batch number OCR inspection

• Audit trail logging and defect traceability reports

• Compatibility with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP documentation requirements

• DSCSA track-and-trace mandate support

Each inspection event is logged with timestamp, web position, defect image, and classification data — providing a complete electronic batch record.

• Panasonic & Datalogic: Optical and encoder components

• Delta & Schneider Electric: Motion control and electrical systems

• High-resolution CMOS sensors: Rated for up to 1,200 m/min

• AI inference engine: Industrial PC architecture (Overseer series) or dedicated DSP controller (Observer series)

• LED stroboscopic illumination: Synchronized to camera line rate at nanosecond level — eliminates motion blur

• Remote diagnostics and screen-sharing (TeamViewer or equivalent)

• Video training for operators and maintenance teams

• Spare parts airfreight from Shenzhen

• On-site service in select countries

• Systems active in 30+ countries

SICHANGO systems use icon-based touchscreen navigation — most operators are productive within their first shift.

SICHANGO provides: multilingual operation manuals, video training modules, and remote commissioning with live operator guidance. For advanced features (AI model tuning, custom ROI setup, MIS integration), a 2–4 hour remote session is recommended for the system administrator.

SICHANGO (Shenzhen Sichango High Vision Technology Co., Ltd.) was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in Shenzhen, China. All systems are designed, engineered, and manufactured in-house using proprietary intellectual property.

With 15+ years of machine vision expertise, SICHANGO has installed systems in 30+ countries and holds multiple patents in AI visual inspection and digital strobe synchronization technology.
