An Overview of the C8 Scanner 

The GlobalVision C8 Scanner is a compact, high-speed system built to automate the inspection of cylindrical packaging ranging from 28 mm to 160 mm in diameter. Designed for regulated industries like CPG, Life Sciences, and Packaging, it features infinite scanning technology for seamless, high-quality results with no file stitching required. 

Key Features of the C8 Scanner 

  • Cylindrical Packaging Versatility: Inspects all types of cylindrical packaging ranging from 28 mm to 160 mm in diameter, making it ideal for a wide range of products across regulated industries.
  • Seamless Software Integration: Fully integrates with GlobalVision Desktop’s suite of inspection tools including Text, Graphics, Barcode, and Inspection Reports, for a unified, automated quality control workflow.
  • Infinite Scanning Technology: Delivers high-resolution, continuous scans with no stitching required, ensuring precise and consistent image capture for compliance-critical packaging.
  • Production-Ready Design: Built with a robust top-loading mechanism and durable construction, the C8 fits easily into fast-paced production environments without sacrificing ease of use.
  • Compact Footprint and Lightweight Build: Ten times lighter and half the size of the former models, it’s optimized for space-constrained facilities without compromising performance.

Use Cases

  • Labeling Compliance Verification: Ensure that printed content on tubes and cans (e.g., drug facts, nutritional info, dosage instructions) meets FDA, EMA, or Health Canada labeling regulations, without missing critical text due to curvature or layout.
  • Artwork Approval and Version Control: Automatically compare current packaging graphics against approved artwork files to catch unauthorized design or branding changes before reaching production, supporting GMP and ISO 13485 standards.
  • Barcode Inspection for Traceability: Verify barcodes printed on cylindrical packaging (e.g., 2D DataMatrix, UPC) to ensure scannability and accuracy for supply chain traceability, serialization, and DSCSA or EU FMD compliance.
  • Foreign Language & Regulatory Text Review: Confirm that multilingual regulatory text is printed correctly and legibly on curved surfaces, critical for international product distribution and regional labeling mandates.
  • Print Quality Assurance for GMP Compliance: Identify smudges, shifts, or missing print on curved packaging to comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) requiring legible and accurate labeling.
  • Pre-Press and Post-Print Validation: Perform checks on both pre-production proofs and final printed tubes/cans to ensure what was approved is exactly what was printed—minimizing compliance risk during product release.
