Two different solutions for the Paper and print image inspection has the „Model AG“ from Weinfelden, Switzerland, into one of its large production lines. The aim of the Packaging producers was to get all Production errors at the plant can be precisely recorded, classified and seamlessly logged. In addition, there was to be a statistics display for each individual job. The supplier for the optical inspection solutions was the Darmstadt-based provider „ISRA VISION“.

The Quality assurance is a particular challenge at Model AG. This is because the in-house production depth is very extensive. Packaging materials such as corrugated cardboard are produced in-house, packaging is manufactured and then printed. Quality assurance must therefore be ensured throughout the entire Process chain function reliably across the board.

„ISRA VISION“ beat the competition for the reliable Quality control PaperMASTER„ system for paper and cardboard inspection and “CartonSTAR„ for the inspection of printed cardboard materials. With the surface inspection system, the Production line all defects such as colour stains, Pressure deviations, The web break monitoring system prevents interruptions to production. Web break monitoring prevents interruptions to production. Straight Edge chipping or tears at the edge of the paper can cause damage to the rewinder or the corrugator. Railway demolition cause. Faulty cartons are now ejected in good time.

Both inspection systems from „ISRA VISION“ at Model AG thus play their part in the Zero-defect production to this. Since its commissioning, the number of production downtimes has been significantly reduced. „Our customers are increasingly demanding that we monitor our production and be able to track orders,“ reports Ulf Schröder from Model AG. In addition to the special quality requirements of the customers, it was above all the high reliability that tipped the scales in favour of the combined inspection solutions from ISRA. The fact that two further CartonSTAR systems have now been ordered underlines the high level of satisfaction at Model AG.
