However, increased innovation and efficiency can give rise to heightened technical challenges. As an example, Elphick points out that when producing folding cartons with a glued insert attached inside, "the challenge is to guarantee all cartons actually have one insert, and it is the correct insert, and it is in the precise place specified. This can only be accomplished by having a very robust vision/ejection system on one's gluing equipment." At 3C, up to nine vision scanners are used when inserts are adhered to folding cartons; any defaults are ejected directly into the waste bin.
