In-line aggregation module for serialized item management
Optimize your serialization process by seamlessly managing and verifying serialized items before they enter the aggregation and packing stages, ensuring precision and efficiency in high-speed production environments.

Verifies and Aggregates Serialized Items
The Sentinel VM0900 from Antares Vision Group is a standalone module that excels in managing serialized items in constrained spaces on a production line. This compact device is tailored to verify serialization and perform aggregation upstream of bundling and case packing machines. Ideal for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products, it ensures each serialized item is scanned and validated, avoiding the unnecessary rejection of entire bundles. Operating at line speeds up to 300 pieces per minute, the Sentinel VM0900 integrates smoothly with existing systems, leveraging thermal inkjet (TIJ) or laser printing technology to ensure clear, readable data. Its conveyor length and modular design accommodate a range of carton sizes, and its robust construction ensures reliable performance in high-speed, inline operations. Designed for compliance with stringent industry standards, it supports the entire serialization process with precision, making it invaluable for packaging departments dedicated to maintaining serialized product integrity.
