AVT Ensures Quality at Nordenia Facilities

Thursday 01. May 2008 - PrintVision/Argus systems installed at plants in Germany, Poland and Spain with more scheduled

Over the past year, Nordenia International AG, of Greven, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, a leading international producer and processor of films for flexible packaging applications has been installing AVT’s PrintVision/Argus process control and quality assurance solution at facilities in Germany, Poland and Spain. These orders are in excess of US$1 million.

Nordenia has adopted the PrintVision/Argus inspection solution at Nordenia Polska Poznan, in Poland; Nordenia Deutschland Halle and Nordenia Deutschland Gronau, in Germany, and at its Nordenia Iberica site in Barcelona, Spain. A further PrintVision/Argus system will soon be installed also at Nordenia Slavnika, Pereslavl near Moscow, Russia.

The PrintVision/Argus combines an area scanning camera for process fault detection with an LCCD camera for quality assurance. The LCCD camera inspects 100% of the web 100% of the time. When faults are detected by the LCCD camera, the scanning camera moves to the location of the fault to facilitate identification and remedial action.

Nordenia International produces a range of films for food, beverage, hygiene, pet supplies, garden products, and other flexible packaging applications.

Nordenia ordered its first AVT system in 2007 and has added multiple systems to its international production facilities since that time. The group has seventeen subsidiary production sites worldwide and employs more than 3,000 people.
