FEATURED INSTALLATIONRotoflex has installed its recently launched Security Series at Barcom Industries, Mumbai, India, through its Flexo Image Graphics distributor. The Security Series module is integrated with a Rotoflex VSI 330 slitter/rewinder, Nikka inspection system, and multilane inkjet printing system combining end-to-end servo technology for ultimate control and advanced bi-directional inspection capability for pharmaceutical and other labels with strict compliance regulations. According to Barcom's Prasanna Sahu, "Usually, the inspection system detects the faulty label and then waits for the operator to replace it, without re-inspecting the replaced label. With the bi-directional system, the replaced label is inspected again to ensure there are no faulty labels. This powerful machine, which is equipped with a 4K camera from Nikka, also enables QR code and bar code verification." Sahu adds, "We can assure 100% defect-free labels, not only to the pharma companies, but also to the liquor, FMCG, and food industries.".
