Serialization system for flat cartons
In pharmaceutical and packaging industries, ensuring product traceability is essential to comply with regulations and prevent counterfeit products. A challenge that persists is serializing flat, empty cartons, which requires precise marking, recording, and verification of serialization data.
Mark, record, and verify flat carton data
The Print & Check Flat Carton (VM3701) by Antares Vision is a semi-automatic standalone unit specifically designed for offline serialization of flat cartons. This unit performs all serialization functions including marking, recording, and verifying all necessary data. Flat cartons are loaded into a collector that precisely feeds the conveyor belt, where they are printed and inspected by an integrated camera system. Faulty cartons are automatically rejected at the end of the line. The VM3701 features an 18.5” touch screen with ergonomic design for ease of operation and a manual code reader for re-aggregation of products. The conveyor belt is equipped with high grip rubber and can be adjusted to accommodate various carton sizes. The standardized system includes capabilities for up to 4 TIJ printing heads and up to 2 cameras for track & trace inspections, ensuring high-quality data matrix printing with a resolution of up to 600 dpi.
