miip launches miipCam Mini

miip identified how production managers are inconvenienced when a camera stops working and results in myopic operators printing at crawling speeds. Repair times can be long and require multiple visits by technicians in order to complete the job, resulting in lost productivity.

miipCam Mini, to be introduced at Labelexpo Americas 2018, has been engineered to make it practical to immediately send a replacement camera as needed and cut down installation time. Miniaturizing the web camera also increases portability and creates new product uses, according to miip.

miipCam Mini features include:

• LED illumination that works on the most reflective surfaces;
• Unlimited position and label row scan;
• Distortion-free image quality; and
• Remote control UI for easy operator mobility.

The miniaturization of the camera also reduces production costs, as less electronics, wiring, enclosures and labor are required.

George Gal, miip president and founder, explained: ‘Current web viewers and registration cameras on the market are bulky, outdated and overpriced. Our miipCam Mini changes all of that. This new model simplifies service problems and allows new uses for the camera. An operator can easily move the camera to a different print station or press for one specific job, which was not easily doable before.’
