More than Just Defect Detection

摘要

In an industry where making a mistake or producing a defective product can be both costly and embarrassing, it's essential to implement available tools that can help avoid these problems slipping through the cracks. In the package printing business, an inspection system not only serves as a safety net to catch errors, but is even better used as a data collection tool that can help improve efficiency and reduce waste. Guy Yogev, marketing director for Advanced Vision Technology (AVT), explains that reducing time and material waste costs need to be top priorities for converters, and by using an inspection system to the best of its abilities, operators can pinpoint print defects, where they're occurring in the process and decide how to fix them quickly. Understanding this data, Yogev says, can help reduce makeready time, downtime and material waste.
