Abstract: Techniques are described for inspecting a web and controlling subsequent conversion of the web into one or more products. A system, for example, includes an imaging device, an analysis computer and a conversion control system. The imaging device images a sequential portion of a web to provide digital information. The analysis computer processes the digital information with an initial algorithm to identify regions on the web containing anomalies. The conversion control system selects one of a plurality of converting sites to convert the web into a product, and analyzes at least a portion of the digital information with at least one subsequent algorithm to determine which anomalies represent actual defects in the web for the products.

Abstract: Techniques are described for inspecting a web and controlling subsequent conversion of the web into one or more products. A system, for example, comprises an imaging device, an analysis computer and a conversion control system. The imaging device images the web to provide digital information. The analysis computer processes the digital information to identify regions on the web containing anomalies. The conversion control system subsequently analyzes the digital information to determine which anomalies represent actual defects for a plurality of different products. The conversion control system determines a value for at least one product selection parameter for each of the products, and selects one of the products for conversion of the web based on the respective determined value. Exemplary product selection parameters include web utilization, unit product produced, estimated revenue or profit, process time, machine capacity and demand for the different products.

Abstract: A device for applying fiducial marks to a web for spatially synchronizing data from a plurality of processes is described. The device includes a fiducial mark reader to read fiducial marks of at least two formats on a web of material, a fiducial mark writer to write fiducial marks of at least two formats on the web, and an encoder to measure distance along the web. The device may provide several advantages. For example, the device may apply fiducial marks to a web that indicate the process line that applied the fiducial mark to the web or the date on which the fiducial mark was applied.

Abstract: A method of inspecting a moving web. The method includes imaging a sequential portion of the continuously moving web to provide digital information. The digitial information is then processed with an initial algorithm to identify any regions on the web containing anomalies. Image information corresponding to any identified region within the digital information is then selected. The selected image information is then analyzed with at least one subsequent algorithm to distinguish actual defects from among the anomalies.
