Product catalog summary
Overview: The BottleTracker™ is a system designed to enhance the tracking and aggregation of serialized bottles into secondary packages, such as bundles or cases, without disrupting production flow. It ensures compliance with labeling regulations and improves line efficiency by using a unique 2D-reading technology and adjustable belts for various bottle sizes and shapes.
Key Features:
  • 360° reading of EPC (Electronic Product Code).
  • Label and leaflet presence and placement detection.
  • Tracking code printed by continuous inkjet.
  • Ejection with confirmation.
  • Speed up to 300 bottles per minute.
Benefits:
  • Precise and robust handling of different bottle shapes (round, square, oblong).
  • Fast and risk-free association.
  • Toolless adjustments for ease of use.
  • All-in-one station with turnkey installation.
Performance Specifications:
  • Linear speed ranges from 4.5 m/min to 35 m/min.
  • Production rate up to 300 bottles/min.
  • Printer model: Domino Ax350i.
  • Tracking code position: Under the bottle.
Utilities:
  • Conveyor height: 914 ± 50 mm (36 ± 2 inches).
  • Power requirements: 120-240 VAC 50/60 Hz.
  • Compressed air: 6 bar (90 psi).
Tracking Process Overview:
  1. Infeed: Controls bottle flow for proper transition and spacing.
  2. Tracking Code Presence Verification: A camera checks for existing tracking codes under the bottle.
  3. Printing: If no code is detected, a new tracking code is printed.
  4. Inspection, Verification, and Association: 360° camera setup inspects and verifies EPC and tracking codes.
  5. Ejection and Outfeed: Defective bottles are ejected, ensuring they do not proceed further in the production line.
Sales Item Options:
  • SBT002: Right-to-left product flow.
  • SBT003: Large bottle diameter (32 to 114 mm) with 360° quad-camera station.
  • SBT004: UV ink tracking code with UV filters and LED lighting.
  • SBT005: Adjustable spacing wheels.
  • SBT006: Infeed conveyor with emergency stop.
  • SBT007: Outfeed conveyor with emergency stop.
Standard Solution Specifications:
  • Floor-mounted electrical enclosure.
  • Left-to-right product flow.
  • Small bottle diameter (22 to 75 mm).
  • 36-inch conveyor height.
  • OPTEL HMI and OP300 software.

BOTTLETRACKER ™ PREPARE YOUR SERIALIZED BOTTLES FOR AGGREGATION TO FACILITATE TRACKING The BottleTracker™ handles the verification of serial numbers and facilitates bottle aggregation into secondary packages without impacting the production flow. This station allows various inspections such as presence and placement verification of labels and leaflets. It is specially designed to increase your quality and compliance with labeling regulations while improving your line efficiency by obtaining a leaner operation. To facilitate the tracking of a bottle going into a secondary package such as bundle or case, this solution is built to print and inspect a temporary unique identifier (tracking code) on the bottle bottom using black or UV ink. It has a unique 2D-reading technology and includes adjustable belts to support various sizes and product shapes. As part of the TrackSafe™ product family, the BottleTracker™ connects in real time with OPTEL’s LineMaster™ in order to verify and report serial numbers. medical devices KEY FEATURES • 360˚ reading of EPC • Label/leaflet presence and placement detection • Tracking code printed by continuous inkjet • Ejection with confirmation • Speed up to 300 bottles/minute BENEFITS • Precise and robust bottle handling (round, square, oblong) • Fast association without risk • Toolless adjustments • All-in-one station • Turnke
