Jet Label chooses AVT Helios inspection equipment for digital and flexo presses

Jet Label & Packaging Ltd., Western Canada’s largest label manufacturer serving a variety of industries including food and beverage, agriculture and pharmaceuticals, will install two print inspection systems from AVT. Scheduled for installation at the Edmonton, Alberta-based manufacturing facility in early fall, both systems are from AVT’s Helios line.

Helios can be integrated into any rewinder/finishing equipment to create a designated automatic inspection station for post print processes. The equipment deploys dedicated, advanced algorithms designed to detect any type of defect. Effective for nearly any substrate or application, Helios also features built-in archiving and reporting, including an innovative PrintFlow module, as well as an efficient in-line monitoring tool that reports on total good material printed.

Jet Label will adjoin one Helios inspection system at the finishing station of a digital printing line, and another to a conventional flexo printing operation. Both Helios inspection systems will be linked to AVT’s PrintFlow Manager and PrintFlow Central quality and process control solutions. PrintFlow Manager ensures that data collected from all platforms is presented directly to the PCs of print house managers and key personnel, promoting increased internal production quality and efficiency, as well as enhanced communication between customers and suppliers.

PrintFlow Central enables automatic storage of inspection and job setup data from AVT inspection systems into a single server.

Founded in 1998, Jet Label manufactures labels and printed tape from its 55,000-square foot manufacturing facility in Edmonton. Jet Label also produces a variety of address labels, and supplies parking and boarding passes and baggage tags to Edmonton International Airport.

Darrell Friesen, president and CEO of Jet Label said: ‘We are excited to have a forward thinking, customer-minded business partner like AVT. They are continuing to lead the marketplace in innovation, and as a result we hope to instill that confidence in our valued customers. Jet Label’s commitment to this leading-edge technology will have huge benefits realized by our staff, suppliers and most of all our loyal customers.’
