containers from different molds forms has accumulated. These production results of the forms that do not met quality thresholds have to be identified and rejected. During the inspection process each bottle is examined. The MCR is integrated into the existing inspection machine and uses the existing mechanical components for the decoding and rejection.

The MCR now serves as input medium for the

expert knowledge which forms are worn out. A technician inputs the corresponding mold codes. The MCR then removes all glass containers with the given mold codes from the production process.

With the MCR and the inspection machine for the dimensional and functional validation working together, the worn out forms can be recognized automatically. The condition of the forms is examined continuously, automatically. The expert knowledge does not apply any longer.
