AVT shows full product range with eight partners at Labelexpo

AVT will demonstrate its full range of 100 percent automatic inspection, quality assurance and remote ink control products with new capabilities for the label and narrow web market on stand 711 at Labelexpo Americas, as well as on partners’ booths.  

Among the products presented by AVT at the show are PrintVision/Helios II, the 100 percent automatic inspection system for rewinders and presses; AVT WorkFlow Link, which provides a link between the press and rewinders; and the Microcolor/Mercury digital remote ink control for label and narrow web applications. 

PrintVision/Helios II introduces various new modules in addition to its inspection capabilities. ProMIS communicates information between production MIS systems to the inspection platform; JobRef enables automatic verification to the original PDF file; and the Barcodes and Variable Data module ensures 100 percent inspection of UPC codes, data matrix codes and variable numbers.   

AVT has a new iPhone application called iPrint (pictured), which makes its debut at Labelexpo, enabling AVT customers to get immediate information from the production floor directly to their iPhones, regardless of where they are. The application is compatible with iPod Touch and the new iPad. 

Visitors will be able to see new technologies that will soon be part of the Helios II offering at the Technology Corner in the AVT booth, which includes DeltaE color measurements and high resolution for wider web applications.  

Throughout the show AVT will demonstrate its technology with various industry partners. AVT’s products will be shown on a wide range of machines, including digital and flexo presses, and a range of rewinders in multiple configurations.  

At the HP Indigo booth (3223), AVT will demonstrate the PV/Helios II 100 percent automatic inspection in-line with WS6000 digital press. 

With increasing numbers of converters adopting HP Indigo digital printing technology across a wide variety of applications, and production speeds matching conventional flexo printing, the AVT PV/Helios II, integrated in-line, offers real time process control, diminished operator press attendance and a 100 percent accurate product. 

‘As the world leader in digital labels and packaging solutions, we are pleased to have AVT as one of our partners at Labelexpo,’ said Alon Bar-Shany, vice president and general manager, HP Indigo division, HP. ‘Now that HP Indigo customers can print at higher speeds, with higher productivity and longer print runs, they are seeking ways to automate the digital label production process and maximize press utilization.’ 

The AVT PV/Helios II system will also be shown on a Rotoflex VSI rewinder, an Omet X-Flex flexo press, a Prati Jupiter TC450 rewinder, a CEI rewinder and a Brotech Eurotech rewinder.  

AVT’s ProMIS will be demonstrated in the AVT booth, connecting all of the PrintVision/Helios II systems to Cerm MIS. The connectivity provides automation and shorter setup, and better control over production. 

Peter Dhondt, manager global business development and sales at Cerm, said: ‘Cerm has teamed up with AVT to create an automated link between job data in administration and the AVT inspection solution. The link avoids double entry of data like dimensions, Step & Repeat parameters and the link to the reference-image. As Cerm has this data available in its database, this data is send to initiate the AVT system when starting a job in Cerm’s shop floor data collection application at the press. Data retrieved by AVT can be visualized in the Cerm-system. This setup is in use at common customer locations and has proven to be a gain in quality and efficiency.’
