Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a computer component that receives one or more images of one or more packaging materials from one or more imaging components; wherein the computer component employs one or more irradiation components to emit one or more radiation wavelengths to the one or more packaging materials, wherein the computer component employs the one or more imaging devices to create the one or more images; wherein the one or more packaging materials allow a transmittance of one or more of the one or more radiation wavelengths; wherein the computer component employs one or more of the one or more irradiation components to emit the one or more of the one or more radiation wavelengths for the transmittance through one or more of the one or more packaging materials, wherein the one or more of the one or more radiation wavelengths reflect off a carrier of the one or more of the one or more packaging materials to the one or more imaging devices; wherein the computer component employs an analysis of the one or more images to make a determination of a package integrity of the one or more packaging materials.
