qmtocr

OCR reading with qmtrelief lighting for industrial applications

Reading rate greater than 95% thanks to artificial intelligence and qmtrelief lighting

OCR reading device with qmtrelief illumination for industrial applications

The qmtocr is an optical device for OCR reading of printed or engraved numbers and/or texts, it is particularly suitable for traceability applications in demanding industries (medical, automotive and watchmaking).

Qmtrelief lighting improves the readability of engraved numbers, particularly with very low contrast.

The reading software integrates the DigiOcr algorithm specially developed for industrial applications. It allows, thanks to the use of Deep Learning, a much higher reading rate than traditional technologies even in difficult reading conditions.

The device is compact and ergonomic in order to fit ideally into a workshop or into a machine.

The strong points

Reading rate greater than 90% on a surface of 54mm x 40mm
Measuring time less than 1.5 seconds
Qmtrelief lighting to guarantee reading in difficult optical conditions (qmtocr-200 and qmtocr-300)
Compact and ergonomic equipment
Connectivity capability for transferring data to other systems
qmtocr-300 variant for integration into an automatic machine

Reading numbers on watch components

qmtocr technologies

The qmtocr-200 is a device for reading numbers on movement or casing components.

DigiOcr OCR reading module

The DigiOcr module integrated into the qmtocr software is specialized for watchmaking. This Deep Learning algorithm for reading characters is trained on several thousand fonts and is supplemented by specific processing to make it more robust and easier to use in an industrial environment. Retraining of the heart is possible for adaptation to particular cases

A compact and ergonomic device

The qmtocr is small and does not require fine tuning for use

High measurement accuracy

A 12.3MPix camera (4,096 x 3,000 pixels) and high-resolution optics for a field of view of 54 x 40mm

Reading rate over 95%

More than 2,000 fonts, throughout the image, without the need for orientation, on all types of surfaces

Connectivity and data enhancement

Customization for advanced management such as automatic sending of results to databases

qmtrelief lighting

The optional qmtrelief lighting improves the reading rate, particularly for decorated rooms.

OCR reading by Deep Learning

Artificial intelligence for high reading rate in all conditions

The algorithm can locate numbers and letters much more robustly, regardless of their orientation, font type and polarity. The ability to automatically group characters allows the identification of entire words. This significantly improves recognition performance and avoids misinterpretation of characters with similar appearances

Partnership with Digiinov

Combination of know-how

The qmtocr-200 product integrates Digiinov software technologies as well as the DigiOcr reading module. qmt can thus offer a product with a very high level of performance.

Qmtrelief lighting on the qmtocr-200 and qmtocr-300

QMT technology to improve the reading rate to > 95%

Qmtrelief lighting allows the creation of an image without the color and structure information of the surface, only the relief is visible. It is thus possible to improve the readability of engraved numbers, particularly on a decorated surface.

More information

qmtocr-100 for the watch industry

Reading the numbers engraved on the movement and exterior components

To guarantee traceability in production, the serial numbers of movements and boxes must be read. The qmtocr-100 is particularly suitable for this application.

The program-free reading capability on a 50mm x 50mm area allows very easy integration into existing processes. the reliability of reading small numbers on complicated surfaces guarantees robustness.

The connectivity and customization capabilities allow optimal management of information both in input (product information) and output (label printing, saving, etc.). It is also possible to integrate automatic checks to identify possible inconsistencies and duplicates.
