All components of the direct DataMatrix code application solution are mounted on a single base, which enables rapid start-up and commissioning of the equipment, format reconfiguration, and predictable equipment service.
The printed code is verified by a specialized high-speed machine vision module. In case of deviation from the specified parameters, incorrect composition, or an unreadable code, the bottle is automatically rejected further down the conveyor line.
All equipment on the line is connected to the serialization station control cabinet, which houses the machine automation control system as well as the system for working with labeling codes.
The advantages of this equipment are the high quality and reliability of printing, the ability to operate at speeds of up to 65,000 units of product and above, with defect rates of less than 0.01%, and most importantly, low operating costs.
A unique technology for applying DataMatrix codes to plastic caps of PET bottles and tab keys of aluminum can lids at speeds of up to 80,000 caps per hour.
The pre-serialization technology is a fully Russian development. The DataMatrix code is applied to the PET bottle cap or aluminum can lid tab separately from the bottle or can with the beverage, which allows the manufacturer not only to practically eliminate defects and operating costs but also to exclude any interference in the production process.
Beverage producers in PET containers can order and use ready-made PET bottle caps, which are manufactured and labeled using direct printing technology at the facilities of CALLISTO VISION's technology partner, the "SAFE CAP" company. Beverage producers in aluminum cans can order and install a cap labeling machine at their own production site, as well as order labeling as a service — CALLISTO VISION will provide labeled and verified caps.
