Frequently Asked Questions about the SMC450

What is the SMC450 Smart Camera?

The SMC450 is a smart camera designed for high-speed packaging inspection. It sequentially reads printed information on labels, bottles, and cartons, offering high machine throughput and a large field of view for efficient and accurate inspection.

It supports multiple inspection types—including OCR/OCV, 1D/2D code reading, and label or cap positioning—and integrates with UniSeries and PLM software platforms. With its internal lighting, IP65-rated aluminum housing, and compact footprint, it’s optimized for robust performance in regulated packaging environments.

Because it meets the demands of regulated industries. With integrated OCR/OCV, code grading (ISO 15415/15416), and traceability features, the SMC450 helps you stay audit-ready and ensures product integrity from line to loadout.

The SMC450 enables multiple inspection tasks across various packaging formats, including:

  • Optical Character Verification (OCV) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
  • 1D and 2D code reading (Barcodes, Datamatrix, QR codes)
  • Presence checks (e.g., printed elements, labels)
  • Position control (e.g., label placement or cap alignment)
  • Code grading in compliance with ISO 15415 and ISO 15416

These capabilities support compliance, traceability, and quality assurance across high-speed production lines.

Integrated white and UV LEDs ensure clear image capture under any conditions — no need for external lighting hardware. This reduces complexity, speeds up deployment, and delivers consistent inspection quality across substrates.

Easily. Deploy as a standalone solution or connect to Systech’s Line Manager or Systech PCE software. Whether you’re running one line or hundreds, the SMC450 scales your operations.

The SMC450 offers a large field of view at high resolution (5.1 MP, 2472 × 2048 pixels), enabling inspection of expansive packaging surfaces. The exact field of view depends on the lens configuration selected:

  • Available lens options: 8 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm, 25 mm, 35 mm


To determine the specific field of view based on your packaging format and working distance, please contact our application engineering team for tailored configuration support.

The IP65-rated aluminum housing protects against dust and washdown — ideal for high-speed, high-volume, and harsh packaging environments. Fewer breakdowns mean fewer delays.

Key Benefits at a Glance

  • High-Speed Throughput – Keeps pace with modern packaging line demands
  • Integrated Lighting & Lens Options – Adapts to surface types and packaging shapes
  • Wide Field of View – Fewer cameras, more coverage
