OpSec Security relies on Erhardt + Leimer

OpSec Security provides anti-counterfeiting products, track and trace services and product authentication through pressure-sensitive, heat-applied and sewn-in tags and labels. 

The company offers printed holograms, tampered evident labels, security labels with a QR codes and more. OpSec Security works with some of the top retailers as well as major sports leagues and financial and governmental institutions, among other markets. The company operates manufacturing and software development facilities and laboratories in the US, the UK and Germany and has sales operations in the Americas, Europe and Asia. 

Providing an accurate product is a priority at OpSec, therefore the company relies heavily on inspection equipment from Erhardt + Leimer. OpSec Security uses ELScan web viewers, ELGuider web guides and FE5201 color line sensors from the manufacturer.

Accuracy 

Not only does this technology ensure accuracy in the final product, but the systems help to save on waste, according to OpSec Security’s director of facilities, Mike Moser. 

‘It helps with the final quality of the product and cuts down on scrap,’ he says. ‘The less scrap we have, the more the margins go up, and the margins are thin already. The equipment is a big a part of that. Erhardt + Leimer is a major player in the market.’ 

E+L offers a range of web guiding, web tension control and vision systems. Erhardt + Leimer has also made a name for itself in a wide range of industries including corrugating, non-woven, tire and rubber, paper manufacturing, plastics, packaging and carpet industries. 

‘Erhardt + Leimer draws from its extensive and diverse knowledge in other industries, which only bolsters its current portfolio for labels,’ says Todd Guzzardo, president of Erhardt + Leimer in the US. 

At Labelexpo Europe 2017, Erhardt + Leimer showcased its Smartscan print inspection and web monitoring system. Smartscan works to detect missing labels, unremoved matrix and detect splices. The camera unit is housed in a compact enclosure, which means Smartscan can be retrofitted to existing printing and finishing machines.
