AI agent for quality control inspectors
Label and Date Code Verification Agent
Stop wrong labels and date codes before shipment.
What it does
One wrong label on a pallet can mean a recall or a rejected shipment. This agent compares label images and date codes with the order: product name, language, barcode, lot and expiry. It flags any mismatch, holds the lot and tells the inspector. After a fix it compares the new labels again and releases the hold only when they match. The inspector approves release. The check is repeated at the start of each run and after a changeover, because that is when errors happen. Edge case: a date code that is correct in format but one day early for the lot is flagged against the production record.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
