Automate Quality at Every Step — and Free Your Operators

In today’s fast-paced, high-variation packaging world, productivity hinges on repeatability, speed — and control. With ever-shorter print runs, increasing SKU complexity, and greater demands for zero-defect output, print inspection must go beyond visual detection. It must become smarter, faster, and connected.

That’s why AVT’s 100% print inspection solutions are built to support automated quality control workflows, from prepress setup to on-press execution — ensuring consistent results with minimal operator intervention.

Why Manual Setup Isn’t Scalable

Even the best operators are prone to human error, especially under pressure. Manual setup of inspection parameters — defining job dimensions, color zones, content check points, defect sensitivities — takes time, varies by operator, and increases the risk of inconsistencies.

For converters running dozens of changeovers per shift, this introduces real friction:

• Time lost per job setup (3–4 minutes or more)
• Missed defects due to incorrect inspection settings
• Inconsistencies across presses, shifts, or production sites

That’s why automating inspection setup is a critical step toward a more productive and error-proof pressroom.

Smart Setup, From Prepress to Pressroom

AVT enables this through multiple automation layers that streamline how inspection is initialized and managed.

🖥️ Offline Setup

Rather than configuring each job at the press, AVT allows you to predefine all inspection parameters — including defect sensitivity, region-of-interest definitions, and job tolerances — in a centralized, offline environment. These settings are then automatically loaded to every connected AVT inspection system before production begins.

This saves valuable press time and ensures standardization across your fleet.

🔄 Automated Job Setup

With automation-ready AVT systems, inspection setup becomes nearly touchless:

• Job dimensions and inspection zones are auto-loaded
• Printed images are automatically compared to the approved PDF
• Key elements like barcodes, logos, and text areas are automatically detected and validated

This reduces reliance on operator judgment and significantly improves consistency, especially in multi-design or multilingual runs.

Boost Uptime, Reduce Human Error

Inspection automation doesn’t just eliminate manual steps — it eliminates risk. By ensuring that inspection settings are correctly applied every time, across every press, AVT systems:

• Improve first-time-right performance
• Cut changeover time by 30–60 minutes per shift
• Support scalable quality across plants, shifts, and operators

For converters under pressure to deliver more jobs with fewer errors, this translates directly to better margins and customer satisfaction.

Connected Workflows, Smarter Printing

AVT’s approach to inspection automation is part of a broader vision of digitized, data-driven print production. By linking inspection systems to prepress, MIS, and quality systems, you can achieve:

• Faster changeovers with fewer mistakes
• Real-time quality visibility across teams
• Easier compliance with brand or regulatory standards
• Unified reporting and traceability across jobs and production lines

The result is a closed-loop quality process that evolves with your business — whether you’re managing short runs, variable designs, or multi-site production.
