Inline Versus Offline Inspection

Combining both

The idea of combining both types of systems so that the two communicate with each other is gaining headway in the industry. Shamri states, “It is now possible to use the data detected by a 100 percent, on-press AIS, transferring it to the rewinder machine and controlling the rewinder based on that information, enabling efficient removal of defective material. This type of workflow solution is already in operation in production sites, enabling printers to enjoy a complete control over quality, ensuring reduction of production costs and a high level of customer satisfaction.”
