Wolke Thermal Inkjet Team Launches Next Generation Printer For Track & Trace OEMs

Innovative m600 oem delivers ultimate integration flexibility with the industry’s most powerful set of global track and trace capabilities

Altdorf, Germany – August 14, 2015 – Healthcare companies around the world will be expected to meet imminent drug and medical legislations, including the European Union Falsified Medicines Directive (EU FMD) and the US Drugs Quality and Security Act (DQSA).  Such legislation is creating a clear necessity for global traceability solutions to better trace manufactured product, help stamp out counterfeit pharmaceuticals and protect global consumer health. Although the pharmaceutical and medical sectors are most immediately affected, other industries including tobacco, chemicals and food and beverage are close behind with the need for more sophisticated supply chain track and trace. In response, Wolke by Videojet has developed a new printing technology specifically for track and trace applications, supporting the packaging line OEMs and integrators that supply turnkey hardware and software for these mandated serialization projects.

Since 2000, Wolke has become a trusted leader in Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) coding technology, with its legendary ‘m600 advanced’ serving as the global benchmark for serialization capabilities.  Wolke engineers based in Germany have created an all-new TIJ printing solution, combining the strengths of the m600 advanced with innovative new capabilities that set a benchmark for the future of global track and trace applications. The result is the Wolke m600 oem. Practical in build and intelligent in design, the m600 oem delivers absolute integration versatility combined with the industry’s most powerful data handling and serialization capabilities, enabling manufacturers to meet global track and trace requirements of today and of tomorrow.

The m600 oem features new, smaller physical dimensions, delivering a footprint up to 60% smaller than comparable TIJ control systems for secure integration of the controller directly inside the serialization electrical cabinet.  With 18 possible mounting orientations and a choice of four distinct printhead designs optimized for integration into constrained track & trace packaging spaces, the m600 oem becomes a natural part of the overall serialization solution.  The option to connect up to six printheads, with any four running simultaneously, unlocks new possibilities for switching seamlessly between various marking locations without mechanical adjustments.

Drew Weightman, Global Business Unit Manager of TIJ at Wolke and Videojet explains: “The m600 advanced is a renowned machine that has become the trusted standard for track and trace applications around the world.  However, we saw an opportunity to build from that solid foundation, introducing even more cutting edge technology, processing power and security capabilities in a new form factor.   The resulting m600 oem is optimized in all of these ways for global track and trace projects of the future, from Brazil to Italy, Germany to Korea.”

The Wolke m600 oem offers complete backwards compatibility with the industry recognized Wolke m600 advanced machine to allow use of the same communication protocols, printheads, accessories and existing label layouts, while offering sophisticated new communication, logging and data handling capabilities.  The m600 oem also offers an enhanced data buffer capable of intelligently queuing and managing vast numbers of pharmaceutical records and Unicode font capabilities for seamless support of international projects.  With multi-level password protection of remote connections, comprehensive activity logging and no possibility for data or settings changes via the one-way controller display, the m600 oem sets a new standard for process security and support of 21CFR Part 11 compliance.    

Roland Nickel, Wolke TIJ Marketing Development expert at Videojet, adds: “Developing a practical design for sophisticated pharmaceutical OEMs was critical, but we also wanted to deliver advanced performance for the end user with new innovative features that drive productivity. A new feature we call Perpetuo Print ModeTM provides users with the choice to either double the production run time between cartridge changes or manage their ink replenishment without needing to stop the line.  In addition, we have introduced Dynamic Print IntensityTM, an innovative capability that allows configuration of different DPI resolutions for bar codes and text within a single printhead, intelligently boosting ink efficiency and run-time between cartridge changes particularly for complex pharmaceutical code formats. ”

Compatible with the latest Wolke cartridge technology, the m600 oem enables manufacturers to reach previously unattainable print speeds and throughput, supported with ultra-fast handling of serialized data that exceeds 20 variable records per second, even of complex 2D DataMatrix formats.

Weightman concludes: “Wolke has a long legacy of working directly with respected vision inspection and packaging line equipment manufacturers to develop highly capable coding solutions specialized for track and trace applications.  With the m600 oem, we have done that again.  We would encourage pharmaceutical, medical and other manufacturers to contact Wolke, Videojet or their serialization partner to find out how they can benefit from this new global standard in integrated serialized coding.”

Videojet Launches New Technology to Help Tobacco Plants Implement Codentify®

Videojet Launches New Technology to Help Tobacco Plants Implement Codentify®

Purpose-built ‘Codentify® Interface’ improves integration of Codentify® solutions

Chicago, Illinois – March 23, 2015 – The 2014 EU Tobacco Products Directive and World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control traceability requirements are driving changes to the tobacco manufacturing process. As a result, the tobacco industry, as well as other businesses where illicit trade and counterfeiting goods is a problem, is increasingly adopting Codentify® as a solution for track and trace, product authentication and digital tax verification. Implementation can now be simplified with the help of the Videojet new Codentify® Interface, designed to improve integration and connectivity between digital printing technology and the required Codentify® Code Generator.

Implementing Codentify® requires sophisticated digital printing technology capable of meeting the high speed, high throughout performance needs of tobacco manufacturers, while producing machine readable serialization codes. Equally important is the ability to Integrate with tobacco OEM equipment and interface seamlessly with the customer’s Code Generator software. Anthony Blencowe, Business Unit Director at Videojet Technologies explains, “We have worked closely with a number of large tobacco manufacturers, as well as the major OEMs, to understand the challenges presented by implementing this new process into existing lines. As a result of this close collaboration, we have designed a product that helps deliver a simpler and more efficient CodentifyTM printing solution.”

The Videojet Codentify® Interface offers manufacturers greater flexibility for physical device connectivity and future software upgrade requirements by acting as a stand-alone module that connects the line printer to the Codentify® Code Generator. Until now, manufacturers have been forced to work with solutions where the Codentify® Code Generator must embed a specific driver to communicate according to the printer’s native protocol. This makes it more complicated to make any changes or updates to Codentify® related software or printer firmware as both supplier parties would need to be involved.

Manager of Technology Centre Codentify at Philip Morris International adds, “Laser coding systems can require a number of technical parameter adjustments based on line integration, product substrate and settings of the printer. The Codentify® Interface Module (CIM), inside the Videojet Codentify® Interface, efficiently solves these parameter setting issues by decoupling the Codentify® software and the printer systems. The CIM Template Editor allows a “pure” layout that is not polluted by the printer technicalities. This produces a consistent marking quality on every production line for each brand or layout change, without the intervention of an expert.”

The Videojet Codentify® interface also provides additional connectivity options to plug in visions system cameras, adding a critical step in code verification and further simplifying integration for the user.

Videojet can offer complete coding and serialization solutions throughout the entire tobacco line to help manufacturers meet industry track and trace compliance and help prevent counterfeiting. The Videojet CO2 laser range offer direct to pack marking using color change or ablation methods to guarantee non-removable, unique pack identification. The Videojet Ultra-High-Speed continuous inkjet printers feature Precision Ink DropTM Technology to print high contrast, quality Codentify® codes on packs or bundles, as well as 2D codes for enhanced traceability. The Videojet 9550 labelers, which feature Intelligent MotionTM technology, fulfil the final step in the aggregation process with high quality, machine readable barcodes for master cases.

Mario Bock, Global Strategic Director of Tobacco at Videojet concludes, “With virtually every industry being affected by the demand to track and trace products through the entire supply chain, Videojet Codentify® solutions are equipped not only for Tobacco, but also for Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Food Markets. The ability to consistently perform in high speed environments while connecting multiple devices to enable easy aggregation of individual products to pallets, allows all of our customers to use a solution that is compliance ready and available.”

To find out more about Videojet Codentify® solutions please visit www.videojet.com or call 1 866 394 1202

Codentify is a trademark of the Digital Coding & Tracking Association.

New Videojet Continuous Inkjet Printers Meet Micro Printing Needs

New Videojet Continuous Inkjet Printers Meet Micro Printing Needs

Innovative 1000 Line High Resolution series offer smaller, better contrast codes than traditional micro printing systems

Chicago, Illinois – March 31, 2015 – Manufacturers in the electronics, components and cable sectors, as well as other industries requiring ultra-small printing capabilities, can now benefit from high quality micro printing with advanced uptime thanks to the new 1650 High Resolution (HR) and 1620 HR Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printers from Videojet Technologies. Enhanced micro printing capabilities of the new printers achieve high-resolution, quality printing of characters as small as 0.6 mm in height, and speeds of up to 348 meters per minute. The 40 micron nozzle enables the 1650 HR and 1620 HR systems to print 2D bar codes and highly legible alphanumeric multiline codes at high speeds on integrated circuits, small-diameter cables, and other products with limited printing space, optimizing traceability for manufacturers without compromising line productivity.

The new HR micro printers build-off the highly successful Videojet 1000 Line platform and the application-tested ‘Ultra-High-Speed’ nozzle innovations that Videojet released in 2013. With tens of thousands of successful installations, the 1000 Line platform continues to be the standard for CIJ uptime performance. The new HR printer nozzle leverages the proprietary Precision Ink DropTM technology which allows the nozzle to operate at over 100,000 drops per second via the advanced high frequency printhead design, which together with sophisticated software algorithms, modifies the flight path of individual ink drops for optimal code quality. Anthony Blencowe, Business Unit Director for CIJ at Videojet Technologies, explained: “Manufacturers using micro print place a premium on print quality. The 1650 HR and 1620 HR incorporate these enhancements plus specialized rasters to overcome the print quality challenges inherent in shortened character heights and fast line speeds. Manufacturers can now print more data with better legibility, at faster line speeds, often in the same, limited print area.”

The new HR printers feature Videojet patented CleanFlow™ technology, which reduces ink build-up on nozzle ends, enabling the printers to run longer than traditional micro printing systems between nozzle cleaning intervals, significantly cutting maintenance requirements. The printhead offers automated cleaning, supporting faster system start-ups even after extended line shut downs, increasing production uptime. An internal pump eliminates the need for external air, lowering the risk of contaminants in the ink stream, further boosting print consistency.

Complementing the advanced nozzle technology, the HR printers use a range of specialized halogen-free inks, which offer abrasion, temperature and chemical-resistance. All inks can be used on RoHS compliant products (EC 2011/65/EU Annex II) to meet the specific needs of the electronics industry. This allows the printing of durable, wear-resistant codes that are suitable for a host of applications including printing on heat sinks, capacitors, connectors and high insulation tapes.

In common with the other 1000 Line Videojet CIJ printers, the 1650 HR and 1620 HR solutions feature the Smart Cartridge™ fluid system that helps to ensure that only the correct ink is selected for each product, supporting electronics and wire and cabling manufacturers who may be using multiple ink types. The printers use a needle and septum to draw ink from each cartridge, eliminating the risk of spillages and reducing waste. This offers a real advantage in the clean environments commonly found in micro print applications.

To meet manufacturers’ specific operational needs, both HR systems offer unique features to aid functionality for line personnel. The 1650 HR features the Videojet exclusive CLARiTY™ touchscreen, which offers built-in productivity tools to help boost OEE and enhance line efficiency. The 1620 HR comes with a keypad interface that is robust and easy-to-use with minimal training, facilitating simple and speedy product changeovers.

Blencowe added, “The 1650 HR and 1620 HR are uniquely designed to deliver what is most critical to manufacturers requiring micro print capability – provide the highest print quality down to the smallest size code, even at high speeds. Serious investment in R&D has helped us really understand the demanding conditions that customers in electronics and wire and cable plants operate in, to which these printers can deliver.”

Continuous Inkjet ink innovation designed for retort applications where a bright color change with a crisp code is required.

Chicago, Illinois – March 06, 2015 – Food manufacturers have utilized the retort or autoclave process for years, typically to help preserve vegetables, beans, fruit, soup, sauces, baby food, meat/fish, ready-to-eat meals and pet food.  To meet code requirements before, during, and after the retort process, Videojet is pleased to announce its latest ink innovations, V476 and V521, for use with its 1000 Line of Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printers. V476 is qualified for use in Videojet standard 1000 Line printers and V521 for use in its 1000 Line Ultra High Speed models.

Codes produced with these new inks are designed to provide a noticeable color change from dark red to light red when exposed to heat and moisture during the retort process. The color change occurs after the material has been retorted for several minutes at 240-250°F (116-121°C). This allows processors to determine whether or not a particular item has been properly exposed to the retort process.

 “These new inks are an example of Videojet innovation in fluids for ink jet technology,” states Heidi Wright, Business Unit Manager for Supplies at Videojet. “We are continually looking for ways we can deliver unique fluids formulations to meet customer needs and are very excited to bring these products to the industry.  These new inks are a result of our dedicated research and development initiatives. Working closely with our customers to determine their production needs, we collect application data that can be used in creating formulations for a specific set of production requirements.”

MEK and methanol-free, Videojet V476 and V521 inks provide a clear color-change from dark red to light red and offer reduced bleeding of the code as compared to other thermochromic ink offerings. Primary uses for V476 and V521 inks are for processed food containers such as metal cans, glass jars, flexible pouches, plastic bowls, and trays. These inks may also be used in food or pharmaceutical applications where the goal is to reduce certain solvent plant emissions, including MEK. 

With 40 plus years of ink development experience, Videojet continues to invest significant resources to create leading coding and ink solutions for a vast range of substrates and applications. Addressing a variety of customer challenges, we continuously monitor packaging trends, regulations, and customer needs to innovate and help ensure that our solutions meet and exceed manufacturers’ printing requirements.

Videojet Launches New Ink with Exceptional Adhesion for Returnable Bottle Applications

Videojet Launches New Ink with Exceptional Adhesion for Returnable Bottle Applications

Continuous Inkjet ink innovation formulated to withstand rigors of manufacturing and distribution chain while allowing for easy caustic wash

Chicago, Illinois – February 25, 2015 – From cold fill at high speeds to movement throughout the distribution chain, recycled bottling applications require hard-working ink formulations for bottle coding. To meet demanding adhesion, durability and wash requirements of bottlers, Videojet is pleased to announce its latest ink innovation for its 1000 Line of Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printers – V420 and V528. Utilizing a unique adhesion promoter and binder chemistry, these new inks offer both exceptional adhesion in variable environments and condensing conditions, and the benefit of easy code removal with caustic wash.

Excited to bring this new formulation to the industry, Heidi Wright, Business Unit Manager for Supplies at Videojet, explains that this development was the direct result of active customer engagement. “We continually partner with our customers to better understand their requirements and then deliver innovative products to meet those criteria. These inks are a prime example of the value we bring to our customers through our dedicated research and development initiatives.”

V420 and V528 are specifically formulated to withstand the challenging conditions that bottles are exposed to, including temperature-variable filling conditions as well as hot, humid and wet environments. Their unique chemistry helps ensure rapid drying and exceptional adhesion in high speed bottling applications. These MEK-based inks offer an ideal balance of resiliency and ease-of-use, maintaining their code quality until the bottles go through the caustic wash process upon their return, at which time the codes can be easily removed by the bottler. Both inks are for use with Videojet 1000 Line printers, though the V528 is specifically designed for the Ultra High Speed model.

Wright concludes, “Extensive tests were performed to verify the performance of these new inks and they were shown to exceed other offerings in the marketplace. We are very excited to announce these new inks that will help our customers to not only achieve the outstanding code quality they are accustomed to, but they can also benefit from increased performance in variable and harsh environments throughout the manufacturing and distribution chain.”

With 40 plus years of ink development experience, Videojet continues to invest significant resources to create leading coding and ink solutions for a vast range of substrates and applications. Addressing a variety of customer challenges, Videojet continuously monitors packaging trends, regulations, and customer needs to innovate and help ensure that Videojet solutions meet manufacturers’ printing requirements.

Videojet Launches New Ink to Enhance Adhesion on Flexible Plastics

Videojet Launches New Ink to Enhance Adhesion on Flexible Plastics

Ink experts unlock new potential to improve performance in challenging environments

Chicago, Illinois – February 05, 2015 – As the topic of food labeling regulations continues to lead discussions within the food manufacturing and packaging industry, it has never been more important to ensure merchandise is coded accurately with readable use-by dates that last the entire intended lifecycle of a product. In response to this ever increasing concern among food manufacturers, Videojet invests millions every year enabling their expert ink chemistry team to develop new, improved performance inks. The latest addition to Videojet’s successful 1000 Line ink range is the V418 enhanced adhesion ink.

V418 has been formulated specifically to improve adhesion and abrasion resistance on flexible film packaging commonly used in meat & poultry and fish & seafood manufacturing facilities. The environmental conditions of the packaging area and the product being packaged can present unique challenges for printing use-by dates. Heidi Wright, Business Unit Manager for Ink at Videojet explains “We listen carefully to our customers to understand the challenges they face so we can try to resolve them. Through this constant two-way conversation we discovered that certain facilities can experience poor or inconsistent ink adhesion on their products when conditions are wet or cold, or where the packaging may come into contact with oily residues or condensation.”

V418 has been carefully formulated to actively repel water and a variety of oils after drying. The ink solvents effectively penetrate through and displace oily residues on the surface and when dry, the codes can resist further oil exposure and water condensation for the intended life cycle of the product.

Wright concludes “Extensive tests were performed on a number of standard industry flexible films to verify resistance to many types of oils and animal fats. We are very pleased that this new formula has unlocked new ways to help our customers produce better quality, longer lasting prints in harsh environments, especially on traditionally hard to print materials such as polyethylene.”

Videojet continues to invest in Ink Research and Development to expand their portfolio of industry standard and specialty fluids to meet and exceed manufacturers’ printing needs.
