FAST AND FLEXIBLE SERIALIZATION FOR LOW-VOLUME PRODUCTION

VVTechnologiesINC’s Semi-Automated Print Station (SAPS) is a compact and efficient solution designed for low-volume pharmaceutical and medical-device packaging operations requiring reliable carton serialization and inspection.

The system provides automated carton printing and verification, helping ensure that serialized information is accurately applied and readable before the carton proceeds to the next stage of packaging.

SAPS is designed to accommodate a wide range of carton sizes and formats. Adjustable product guides help operators position cartons accurately and maintain consistent alignment with the designated printing area.

Its ergonomic workstation design allows operators to use both hands when handling cartons, helping improve handling speed, productivity, and operator efficiency during manual or semi-automated packaging operations.

KEY FEATURES

• Designed for low-volume serialization applications
• Automated carton printing and inspection
• Supports multiple carton sizes and formats
• Adjustable carton-positioning guides
• Accurate print-area alignment
• Ergonomic operator workstation
• Simple and intuitive user interface
• Fast implementation with minimal system complexity
• Supports serialization and traceability requirements
• Optional aggregation capability through system integration

HOW IT WORKS

1. CARTON POSITIONING

The operator places the carton into the designated workstation. Adjustable guides help position cartons consistently according to their size and format.

2. SERIALIZED PRINTING

The system prints the required serialized identification and product information onto the designated area of the carton.

3. PRINT INSPECTION

The printed information is automatically inspected to verify that the required code and printed data meet the configured inspection criteria.

4. PRODUCT HANDLING

After successful inspection, the verified carton can be moved to the next packaging stage. The ergonomic workstation enables efficient two-handed handling to support faster manual operations.

5. AGGREGATION SUPPORT

When required, SAPS can be integrated with an appropriate serialization and aggregation management system to support the association of serialized cartons with higher-level packaging such as bundles, cases, or pallets.

EFFICIENT LOW-VOLUME SERIALIZATION

The Semi-Automated Print Station provides pharmaceutical and medical-device manufacturers with a practical solution for carton serialization, print verification, and traceability without the complexity of a fully automated packaging line.

By combining automated inspection with ergonomic manual handling, SAPS helps improve serialization accuracy, operator productivity, packaging consistency, and production efficiency for low-volume applications.
