QBIC Tires · Automatic tire identification
QBIC Tires.
Read codes.
Identify tyres.
Tyre markings are becoming digital data. Deep OCR reads DOT content and dates and provides them for your plant processes.

Examples from the Application
Difficult writing.
Clear results.
Embossing, contrast and image quality affect legibility. Both examples show successful recognition despite clearly different input images.
Clearly legible marking
Clear signs. The read DOT content corresponds to the target specification.

Difficult-to-read marking
Low-contrast, weakly pronounced writing. Also in this example, the code was successfully recognized.
Enlarge the image ↗Shown individual examples. Completeness and readability of the original remain crucial. Missing or destroyed signs cannot be reliably reconstructed.
Operation and visualization
Everything in sight.
Directly at the plant.
The control display on the switchgear cabinet shows the recorded tire markings, read characters and the comparison with the setpoint specification.
Color-marked results make discrepancies visible. Missing DOT areas or unusable images are also displayed – for a comprehensible evaluation in the ongoing process.

From the component
on the result.
- 01
Acquire the input image
The image data is taken over for the OCR evaluation and appropriately prepared.
- 02
Read characters
HALCON Deep OCR captures the marking. The target content is not used for the reconstruction of unreadable characters.
- 03
Evaluating results
Read characters are compared with the target specification. Uncertainties and deviations are visibly marked.
- 04
Transfer of data
DOT content and date are transmitted separately as plain text to the higher-level production system.
Data and integration
Reading. Compare.
Document results.
- Visualisation
- Image display, target specification and reading result with colour marking of the evaluation.
- Logging
- CSV export per tyre with timestamp, target and actual contents and image mapping when storage is activated.
- Image storage
- Optionally, result images can be stored for tracking and analysis.
- Incumbent installations
- OCR evaluation also on a separate PC with transfer of existing image data. Interfaces are coordinated project-specifically.
- Performance validation
- Reading rates and processing time are assessed on the basis of representative image data and agreed test conditions.
Experience is like engine displacement...
Nothing can replace it,
except more of it.
Send us representative pictures of your tyre markings and the requirements for result transfer and cycle time.
