HOW TO GET SUPERIOR CODING QUALITY OUT OF THE PHARMA SERIALIZATION MACHINE

The Amacoder delivers a very high coding quality as shown in the image.

The reason for this high coding quality is as follows:

  • As the boxes are touching each other, the transport speed of the boxes is much lower than with conventional conveyor machines where a space between boxes is required
  • Very controlled movement of the boxes as they are guided from all sides during the flow through the machine
  • The servo controlled pusher is extremely precise in reproducing positions, speed and acceleration
  • A long distance between the print heads and the camera ensure complete drying of the ink, a prerequisite for correct barcode grading according ISO 15415 grading by the inspection camera

SUPPORT

The HICOF Machines offer in combination with AMACENA  an integrated IT-backbone, starting at machine level from the devices as printers, cameras and sensors up to data interfaces of governmental servers. In case of an issue, our experts have instantaneously access through remote access to all relevant parameters across all IT-servers down to the PLC, allowing a seamless and immediate support. This is the opposite of the conventional ISA-95 environment with several software and machine suppliers in which each service engineer has only access to his fraction of data, making a comprehensive root cause analysis extremely cumbersome as he has to synchronize with other involved vendors. 

Hicof solves the issue by offering 

One System, One Supplier, One Responsibility!
