The winning team, named BaseM, consists of five students from diverse faculties, most of them in their first or second year.

Designed to tackle a long-standing challenge in chemical manufacturing, Veripack automates the verification of product labels during the transfer from storage tanks to packaging.

Traditionally performed manually by workers, the process was error-prone and costly for businesses. Veripack, therefore, replaces human inspection with a smart system that scans labels, checks product information, and immediately flags mismatches.

The software’s key advantage lies in its 100% accuracy, with the ability to recognize a wide range of labels of different sizes on both flat and curved surfaces.

It operates reliably under lighting conditions of up to 1,500 lux and features an intelligent cross-checking system based on product names and codes, ensuring precise identification even when labels are blurred.

The project was highly praised for its feasibility and practical application in production lines, not only in the filling process but also in other stages such as data input and labeling. It can be adopted by various industrial manufacturers to enhance accuracy in packaging and label management.

“Our project grew directly from a company’s need. What seemed like a small problem in daily operations turned out to be a huge opportunity for innovation”, explained team representative Phan Le Quynh Ngoc.

With its victory, Veripack demonstrates the potential of Vietnam’s young innovators to create practical technologies with global relevance, turning classroom ideas into tools that reshape industries.
