Bobst Launches oneINSPECTION Quality Control Solutions Mex, Switzerland based Bobst has launched oneINSPEC- TION, an integrated and evolving set of quality control solutions to proactively meet the needs of brand owners and converters, making zero-fault packaging a reality in the folding carton, corrugated, label and flexible packag- ing industries. oneINSPECTION ensures an end-to-end data driv- en quality process specifically tailored for each industry, which can be deployed in both new and existing produc- tion lines. It is a core enabler of the Bobst vision to shape the future of the packaging world and a core component of ‘Bobst Connect’ – an open architecture cloud-based platform delivering solutions for pre-press, production, process optimization, maintenance and market access. “Brand Owners and converters are faced with increas- ingly tight margins and timelines, which places huge amounts of pressure on quality control,” said Alexandre Pauchard – Group R&D Head. “We have launched oneIN- SPECTION to alleviate these pressures. Most companies no longer have the luxury of quality control personnel carefully checking their packing and filling processes. That is why our solutions are highly digital, automated, com- pletely reliable, inline and offline.” The solutions for folding carton and corrugated are: • Folding Carton; new Accucheck – a 100 percent inline quality control system checking each individual blank for quality, color, codes, text and register. Also, iQ 400 – a 100 percent inline quality control system for web- fed folding carton production. • Corrugated Board; iQ 300 – a 100 percent inline qual- ity control system for corrugated production; Premium Gap Control – a system controlling the folding process of all finished boxes at full production speed; and Digi- tal Inspection Table, a quality center that enhances the operator’s skills with augmented reality overlays while gathering photographic evidence for audit. These solutions provide data-driven quality control processes, eliminating human errors. They offer digital re- porting for quality tracking and robust image processing algorithms for perfect inspection. The oneINSPECTION systems will benefit from these new capacities and gradually integrate them to enrich their offers. Ultimately, Bobst says it will provide a range of end-to-end quality control solutions, which will close the loop through ‘Bobst Connect’, resulting in reduced pro- duction recalls and waste. “oneINSPECTION moves quality control into the digi- tal age,” said Pauchard. “It perfectly reflects our vision to shape the future of the packaging world through four key pillars of connectivity, digitalization, automation and sus- tainability, in this instance by aiming at delivering a new range of equipment and solutions that leverage digital in- telligence, software and cloud-based platforms.”
