INDUSTRIES
The focus of MTS solutions is on the following areas:
- PHARMACEUTICALS
- CHEMICALS
- MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
- CONSUMER GOODS
- LOGISTICS
APPLICATIONS
We view applications in terms of various aspects and criteria:
- STAND-ALONE or NETWORKED
Operating an application either stand-alone (non-networked) or networked has effects on data management and administration as well as their emergency running properties.
- LABELLING
We support these labelling technologies:- Barcode
- RFID
- Laser marking
- Inkjet
- Thermal printing
- IDENTIFICATION
We support these identification technologies:
- Barcode
- Camera
- RFID
- Colour mark sensors
- PACKAGING LEVEL
When products are manufactured they often go through the following packaging levels:- CU (CONSUMER UNIT)
- TU (TRADE UNIT)
- LU (LOGISTICAL UNIT)
Each packaging level can be considered and implemented as a self-contained cell with identical functionality -> Identify -> Mark -> Check -> Log.
- TRACK & TRACE
With marking and identification, we create the basic conditions needed to run Track & Trace for products. Checking and logging provide the data for transfer to the Track&Trace system (generally ERP).
- LINE CONTROL
Line control refers to the handling of marking and identification devices, not the control of a packaging line. Data are coordinated and synchronised with the manufacturing process, provided at the right time or collected and stored.
- SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Labelling systems often need to be integrated into existing IT infrastructure. The provision of standardised data and signal interfaces makes this possible.
