Across high-speed flexible packaging lines, bag misalignment can lead to costly downstream issues. Nowhere is this more evident than at the 90-degree transfer, where product inertia, conveyor acceleration and geometry combine to create a persistent bottleneck in bag alignment. This article explores how vision-based detection and active rejection systems, integrated before the heating bands, can automate quality control and elevate line performance.
