TRAVTEC TO SHOWCASE TRACK & TRACE SOLUTIONS
Wednesday 23. February 2011 - At Interpack the Travtec Group will be showing both on- and off-line solutions to enable companies seamlessly to meet imminent EC track & trace regulations.
The forthcoming legislation means all pharmaceutical packaging supplied within the EC must incorporate a serialised 2D Datamatrix code on individual packs. Both the Pharmacarton Lite, which is making its European debut at Interpack, and the TR-750-TT Speed Feeder are able to meet these requirements by providing total control of the carton during the print and vision process to ensure the accurate and high quality printing of high density barcodes and 2D codes to ECC200/GS1 standards.
The Pharmacarton Lite can be integrated into existing packaging lines and the TR-750-TT has been designed to operate off-line. Both are fully adjustable to suit a range of carton sizes. Each machine incorporates the Wolke m600 Advanced high resolution ink jet printer and an OCR/OCV optical character verification system. A fail-to-safety reject unit with pack confirmation further guarantees the authenticity of each coded pack.
The m600 is able to print in real time. Data can be inputted from a remote server through the built-in Ethernet port. The user-friendly printers advanced HP technology and water-based inks deliver clean and maintenance-free coding onto a wide range of substrates, producing characters and bar codes up to 600 dpi.
