Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2020240379A1] Shown herein is a method for controlling operation of a packaging machine (1) for consumer products (P) comprising the steps of: - acquiring a data flow in the form of video, or audio video, streaming comprising a sequence of frames acquired in sequence, relating to the products (P) being processed in the machine and/or to the materials (M) used to make those products (P); - comparing the acquired data flow with a reference data flow, for detecting any discontinuity in the acquired data flow; - undertaking corrective actions based on the discontinuity detected and/or saving the acquired data flow in a long-term memory (503) following detection of the discontinuity for a subsequent assessment. Also shown herein is a respective control unit (5) for controlling operation of a packaging machine (1) for consumer products (P) comprising: - an acquisition device (501), configured for acquiring a data flow in the form of video, or audio video, streaming comprising a sequence of frames acquired in sequence, relating to the products (P) being processed in the packaging machine (1) and/or to the materials (M) used to make those products (P); - a processing device (502) configured for comparing the data flow acquired by the acquisition device (501) with a reference data flow, for detecting any discontinuity in the acquired data flow; - a long-term memory (503); wherein the processing device (502) is additionally configured for undertaking corrective actions based on the discontinuity detected and/or saving the acquired data flow in the long-term memory (503) following detection of the discontinuity for a subsequent assessment.
