Responding to evolving track-and-trace legislative requirements impacting the pharmaceutical space, and the need for efficient, flexible production processes,Hapa AG(一家Coesia公司)宣布了一台用于任何箔或标签打印应用程序的新型内部内部喷墨打印机。
The Hapa 862 printing system was unveiled atAchema 2015last week in Frankfurt, Germany, as part of the Zurich-based packaging specialist’s “smart printing for lean packaging” initiative to support changes in the market.
“The industry has gone from mass production twenty years ago to mass customization,” says James MacKenzie, Hapa’s healthcare sales director. “Hapa allows customized packaging at the last minute. It’s modular, scalable, and what I call plug and print.”
为此,HAPA 862是如此模块化,以至于允许客户配置机器以满足当前的生产需求。加上可以添加其他模块以满足未来需求。例如,升级模块包括Undinder,Rewinder,Corona治疗站,打印片段检测,标签 - 边界检测,额外的固定站,相机和拒绝站。每个模块都是真正的插件,只需简单的机械和电气连接即可。
Designed for a packaging line operator in mind, Hapa 862 eases the complexity associated with frequent line changeovers, as well as the challenges associated with SKUs and the supply chain. At the heart of the system is a the company’s UV Drop on Demand “redcube plus” printing module which produces high-quality print resolution of 720 dpi in up to four colors, spot or CMYK, at speeds up to 54 meters per minute—easily keeping pace with the fastest packing lines, say company officials.
它可以与顶部或站立式配置中的现有包装线集成,也可以作为滚动机器脱机操作。HAPA 862还可以与工作流或ERP系统连接,并且通过公司集成的多触摸HMI,该系统可以实时发送机器数据以提高运行效率。
By printing in-house, pharmaceutical manufacturers have greater control over the process, including the ability to cut waste while allowing material inventory to be reduced by as much as 80% through the use of blank stock.
Mackenzie说:“自己打印标签并在理论上进行新的设计更便宜。”高分辨率。随着HAPA 862,客户的浪费和返工水平下降,包装线的产量增加,敏捷性和效率提高导致节省和增长。
