ASSOCIATION STATION PREPARE YOUR SERIALIZED BOTTLES FOR AGGREGATION TO FACILITATE TRACKING The Association Station handles the verification of serial numbers and facilitates bottle aggregation into secondary packages without affecting 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 creating a leaner operation. To facilitate the tracking of a bottle going into a secondary package such as a bundle or case, this solution is built to print and inspect a temporary unique identifier (tracking code) on the bottle cap using UV ink, or to inspect a tracking code on a topsert. It has a unique 2D-reading technology that supports various sizes and product shapes. As part of OPTEL’s TrackSafe™ product family, the Association Station connects in real time with OPTEL’s LineMaster™ 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 of up to 300 bottles/minute BENEFITS • Fast association without risk • Toolless adjustments • Turnkey instal
