Ensuring Perfectly Printed Coins at the Hamburg Mint
The Hamburg Mint in Hamburg, Germany, has been in operation since 834 C.E., making it one of the oldest mints in Germany. Given its rich heritage, the mint’s operators have gone to great lengths to ensure that its coins are the best they can be, especially when it comes to color printing their newly stamped currency. To increase the accuracy of the printing technology used on the mint’s euros, machine and computer vision specialist phil-vision created a machine vision system that tracks the exact position of the coins as they are placed on their trays, ensuring accurate printing on the coinage.

Machine Vision Ensures Error-Free Braille for Pharmaceuticals
Pharmaceutical manufacturers have included braille on their packaging for years, operating with the knowledge that the omission of a single dot could mean the difference between 100 mg and 500 mg, potentially leading to risks of underdosing or overdosing. Considering this potential health risk, an industrial image processing specialist in-situ GmbH, based in Sauerlach, Germany, was tasked with developing a system specifically designed to inspect the quality of braille dots to ensure that every dot is in its correct place.
