Automation Q&A
-
Asked September 1st, 2010
Key quality issues to inspect in wallet folding are:
· Adherence of adhesive such that the blister is well contained and can’t be easily accessed (creating a CR format)?
· Is a blister present in the wallet?
· Is literature present in the wallet? (optional)A manual or semiautomatic walleting operation will likely require manual inspection. Automated walleting can have much of the inspection built into the packaging equipment. There can be phases before getting to 100% automation: seal the card with manual station, fold manually (add automatic folding later), place literature (add automatic later), and seal the card closed (add automatic later). All of these steps can be done fully automatically….depends on your justification. We help clients figure this out all the time. Contact me to walk through your scenario.
