AVT, part of Danaher’s Product
Identification group (PID) and the world leader in print inspection,
process control, and quality assurance solutions, will present integrated
solutions for enhanced productivity and efficiency at Labelexpo Europe, in
Brussels, Belgium. Co-located with sister company Esko at Booth #3C60, AVT will
showcase its newest, most advanced automated inspection solutions for label and
packaging applications supported by next-generation workflow automation
solutions per Industry 4.0 “smart factory” production.
Workflow Automation and Quality Standards Control
Unsurpassed by competing AIS
systems, AVT’s solutions enable converters to set cross-plant quality standards
in tandem with Esko’s Automation Engine (AE) and X-Rite’s ColorCert. AVT’s
AutoSet module automates job setup by streamlining prepress to pressroom connectivity
from the ESKO Automation Engine to AVT’s inspection system. Meanwhile, the innovative
iCenter platform empowers printers to tightly control cross-site quality
standards ensuring global consistency.
For color measurement, the
digital link between X-Rite’s ColorCert color and AVT’s Spectralab in-line
color measurement device automatically sets up a job for inline color measurement
and generates color scorecard reporting on color quality performance after printing.
This integration delivers better visibility into color performance based on measurable,
objective results for increased color consistency.
Advanced Inspection Systems for Narrow-web applications
For those customers seeking 100%
inspection at full press and rewinder speeds without sacrificing quality, AVT’s
Helios Turbo HD+ offers the most advanced inspection system in the marketplace
today. The solution affords high-resolution automatic inspection designed for
exacting quality assurance of fine details, barcodes and variable data, and for
customers operating wider-web platforms (445-670mm). And as variable data
applications continue to become more popular, AVT offers unsurpassed variable
data inspection, validation and grading solutions, including advanced reporting
capabilities, while supporting a variety of production workflows on both press
and rewinder.
AVT also will conduct dedicated
inspection demonstrations of packaging and shrink-sleeve applications. These
include Helios S Turbo+, an automatic inspection system for high-speed
performance, complemented by the new Continuous and Random Defect Display for process
defects monitoring.
Digital Inspection and Press Control
For digital printers, AVT offers
its Helios D, a high-end 100% automatic inspection system that addresses missing
nozzles, ink drips, color uniformity and other sector-specific challenges – all
in real time. AVT also will Present integrated press control and quality assurance
solutions for OEM’s digital presses, as well as dedicated inline solutions such
as JetIQ, a closed loop quality engine that works in synergy with press
controllers to maintain exemplary print quality, offering full connectivity to
all steps and solutions of digital inkjet printing. AVT’s digital solutions
will be presented both by AVT and other market leading partners, such as HP and
Mark Andy.
According to Jaron Lotan,
President of AVT: "In the two years since joining the Danaher family,
we have continued to strengthen our synergies with Esko and X-Rite by
co-developing solutions that address the future of prepress-to-finish workflow
automation. As we move deeper into the Industry 4.0 production landscape, the
interconnectivity and compatibility required of solutions at various production
points places those in strategic partnerships at a strong advantage.”
