AVT has hailed a ‘very successful’ debut as a standalone business at the ICE Europe exhibition in Germany, showcasing how its 100% print inspection and workflow solutions can boost packaging and label converters and printers.
“With the AVT Apollo Turbo HD 100% inspection platform as the beating heart of our demonstrations, we were excited to highlight the speed, consistency and accuracy that can be achieved with automated print inspection at the ICE event,” said Guy Yogev, VP marketing & product at AVT. “We ran many demonstrations to showcase how our robust and reliable system delivers automatic 100% quality assurance, visually inspecting a range of printed materials and automatically and efficiently detecting imperfections in real-time.
“We also demonstrated how the system seamlessly inspects various types of materials and applications, including challenging applications and transparent coating.
“The response in Munich was fantastic. It was great to make our debut as an independent company in the presence of so many customers and colleagues, and the level of interest in our demonstrations ensured a very successful show for us.”
AVT attended the exhibition for the conversion of flexible web-based materials to highlight its AVT Apollo Turbo HD 100% print inspection system as well as its end-to-end colur measurement and waste removal solutions. ICE Europe marked the first event for AVT, a specialist in print inspection solutions for the label and flexible packaging industries, since the company transformed into an independent company following its acquisition by Porat Itay Holdings.
“Our team demonstrated our print inspection capabilities both as an on-press process control platform, as well as a 100% finishing quality control solution,” added Guy. “With its many process control features and abilities, the Turbo HD system significantly decreases job make-ready and production time, automates manual processes, and provides valuable waste savings. We demonstrated all these abilities and features, including 100% varnish inspection, automation and workflows downstream.”
AVT also demonstrated automation solutions, including its AutoSet product for complete inspection automation. AutoSet automates print inspection of both analogue and digitally printed labels and packaging from prepress through to on-press and finishing.
“We were delighted to share the space and work alongside our Esko colleagues at the ICE show and demonstrate the integration with the Esko Automation Engine,” Guy continued. “This integration means that data is automatically sent to the AVT inspection system, where even very short runs can be automatically inspected, resulting in exceptional print quality and process control.
“By simplifying complex workflows, AutoSet empowers operators of all experience levels to consistently achieve high-quality results. This not only minimizes training requirements but also maximizes the performance of operators at any skill level, enabling teams to deliver flawless production with confidence.”
