AVT’s Turbo inspection & workflow solutions, which help cut packaging production time and waste by nearly 50% will be on showcase at ProPak Asia.
AVT, a leading provider of print automatic inspection, process control, quality assurance and color control for the packaging, label and metal decoration print markets, will present its complementary collection of end-to-end workflow solutions to allow customers to choose among a range of production automation solutions.
Turbo series
The Turbo series includes the Apollo Turbo, Argus Turbo and Argus E Turbo which all increase speed by up to three times and significantly enhance vision system resolution. The result, according to the company, is the highest-possible resolution at previously unattainable production speeds for best-in-class inspection quality with no quantity compromise or lost data. Supported by a dedicated LED illumination technology, the camera provides an unprecedented combination of high-resolution, high-volume quality control.

Workflow Link Packaging
The new end-to-end Workflow Link Packaging is designed to cover the entire packaging production workflow, including slitter rewinders, laminators and doctoring machines. It provides a cost efficient automated solution to quality assurance needs of all printers and converters. Workflow Link uses the information from inspection on press to control and stop various finishing machines automatically at a defect location. The solution combines the highest process control on press with efficient quality control and waste removal at required production stages.
Apollo Multi-Stop
The Apollo Multi-Stop is an inspection and waste control solution offering unprecedented rewinder workflow integration at both high resolution and high speeds. Apollo Multi-Stop provides 100%, real-time defect detection, displaying all detected defects on a dual screen that allows for ongoing reel editing and positioning of any defect, at any time. The system controls the rewinder to stop only on the defects needed to be removed, which makes it the most efficient tool available. A special mode allows for running forward at full speed and running backwards to remove defects.
More on the Turbo Series for packaging applications
The Turbo series comes with PDF job verification capabilities. AVT’s signature JobRef, which enables verification at the setup stage by automatically comparing the current job to the original, customer-approved digital PDF file, has been modified to specifically address the needs of the packaging sector. This up-front comparison results not only in improved accuracy – it reduces the chance of reprints due to mistake to almost zero.
AVT’s Turbo series of inspection solutions are attractive options for packaging printers in a wide range of segments – such as flexible packaging, folding cartons, and paper and foil conversion – across a broad range of worldwide markets, including food packaging, beverages, cosmetics & personal care, pharmaceuticals, specialty items, paper and plastic bags, and commercial & semi-commercial applications. The solutions can be utilized both on-press or during the finishing process on rewinders, slitter rewinders and laminators.
“AVT is proud to launch the complete end-to-end workflow solution for packaging as well as our new Apollo Multi-Stop solution, as offshoots of our highly successful Turbo Series of packaging inspection solutions,” said Amir Sheinman, VP Marketing of AVT. “Our customers will benefit from these releases, allowing them to realize even greater value from our inspection and workflow portfolio and improve the overall productivity and efficiency of their manufacturing operations.”
AVT will be at Booth 5B51.
