The AVT Helios print inspection system is designed exclusively for labels and narrow web printing 

 

OPM Group has installed its second AVT Helios print inspection system with a third and fourth planned for later this year.

The system was added to OPM’s Nilpeter Asterix Flexo printing operation and at the finishing line, completed with Martin Automatic Fly and splice automation. Both Helios inspection systems are linked to AVT’s PrintFlow Manager and PrintFlow Central quality and process control workflows. 

The inspection system is designed exclusively for labels and narrow web printing, offering 100% quality assurance across the entire print production workflow.

Susan Ellison, owner of OPM Group, stated, ‘Our vision is to maintain our position as one of Europe’s top-performing printers of quality and innovative labels and flexible packaging. Thanks to AVT, we are continuously getting better at eliminating waste and error. By utilising AVT’s best in class print control solutions and our strict QA procedures this is a given.’

This investment is part of OPM’s aim to continually improve its QA systems on all presses and finishing over the next three years with added software automation and Martin Automation systems.
