Gain Control, Cut Waste: The Power of Process Insight

In packaging printing, speed and volume are key — but without process visibility, they can become your biggest risks. Print defects that go unnoticed for just a few minutes can waste thousands of meters of substrate. That’s why smarter process control isn’t just a competitive advantage — it’s a necessity.

With AVT’s 100% print inspection systems, you gain the ability to detect, analyze, and respond to defects in real time, empowering your operators and protecting your output. The result? More consistent quality, less waste, and greater confidence on every run.

What Happens When You Don’t See the Full Picture?

Traditional inspection methods rely heavily on operator vigilance and sample-based checks. But these methods fall short when:

• Defects appear intermittently or grow gradually over time
• Web speeds are too fast for manual detection
• Quality issues originate from subtle press fluctuations, like tension, temperature, or register shifts

Without full visibility, small problems become big liabilities. That’s where AVT’s process control tools come in.

Built-In Intelligence That Works in Real Time

AVT’s inspection systems don’t just detect defects — they continuously monitor the health of your process and alert operators to issues as soon as they arise. This allows for immediate intervention before the waste pile grows.

Key features include:

📏 Repeat Length Trend (RLT) Monitoring

RLT is a powerful inline tool that tracks package and repeat length deviations caused by tension changes, thermal expansion, or mechanical drift. Even the smallest anomalies are flagged before they impact die-cutting, folding, or finishing accuracy.

⚠️ Real-Time Defect Alerts

Every defect is automatically detected, classified, and displayed on the operator screen. Whether it’s a smear, misregister, missing print, or tonal variation, AVT systems instantly notify your team, enabling fast corrective action.

🔍 Defect Classification and Visualization Operators can instantly see what went wrong — and why. The system marks and categorizes defects, helping to distinguish between critical issues and acceptable variation. This clarity allows more focused decisions and avoids overreactions or missed problems.

Beyond Inspection — Into Prevention

The real value of process control is in preventing defects from happening again. By understanding the root cause of quality deviations, operators can take corrective action not just for the current job, but for the next one too.

For example:

• Recurring plate defects can be flagged and replaced before reuse.
• Deviations tied to anilox or CI drum wear can trigger timely maintenance.
• Specific patterns in defect frequency can guide press adjustments or staff training.

This feedback loop helps you shift from reactive fixes to proactive quality assurance — saving time, reducing material costs, and improving long-term consistency.

A Smarter, More Confident Pressroom

AVT’s process control tools are designed to integrate smoothly into your workflow and elevate operator performance — not overwhelm it. With clear visuals, automatic alerts, and guided decision-making, even less experienced staff can maintain high quality standards under pressure.

Get Ahead of Defects — Not Behind Them

Print quality shouldn’t depend on guesswork or gut feeling. With AVT’s real-time process control, you’re empowered with the tools to monitor every variable, respond instantly, and prevent problems before they cost you.
