Featuring a shared interface, the new integrated system is designed to simplify makeready and production by centralizing digital data flow, both incoming and outgoing, through a single panel. This intelligent system provides printers with an efficient all-in-one technology that meets the label and packaging industry's quality requirements for fast, waste-free, makeready, and high-quality production.

According to both companies, thanks to the combination of the 100 percent vision system and the intelligent spectrophotometer, for the first time, print defects and color uniformity can be monitored simultaneously and automatically at production speed in one setup.

‘Automated quality control is fundamental in the printing process today,’ said Tiziano Lastrucci, CEO of DeCoSystem. ‘Sentinel, the innovative quality control system designed for 100 percent control of the printed web, is the answer printers have been waiting for. Using a matrix camera or a high-speed linear camera, which captures the entire web at high resolution, it is possible to view and control all the individual lines of the entire reel with a single image.’

According to Lastrucci, this allows the immediate detection of missing labels, glue marks, excess material, stains, poorly printed codes, incomplete text, and much more on any type of substrate.

‘Thanks to Sentinel's quick and easy settings, starting a new job becomes a completely automatic procedure with just one touch,’ added Lastrucci.

Dominique Martin, CEO of Odesyo, added: ‘This unique solution was born out of our customers' needs: faster and higher quality production in both small and large runs, reducing costs and waste. It greatly simplifies the production phase because it integrates everything into a single control interface that can be configured and monitored and a centralized alarm system. This solution provides printers with visualization and traceability of content and color quality, resulting in continuous improvement of IEPs.’

By integrating Smijet into this new print control process, color consistency will be measured automatically and continuously, directly within images and text for 100 percent of production. Color measurements and detected defects will be immediately available on the control panel. The shared software collects the data and establishes a complete evaluation of the print, providing the operator with a detailed report on the job's overall quality.

‘It is a great advantage for our customers, not only does it allow us to have two innovative functions in a single system, but also to have a single interlocutor, with all the advantages that entail ease of interaction, speed of intervention in case of need, the responsiveness of customer service, to which we can add the experience and availability of our technicians,’ concluded Lastrucci.
