Bosch Automotive needed inline printing, inspection and defect segregation for a compact 20 mm label while working within a constrained production footprint.
Prevent nonconforming labels from reaching customers and creating compensation or recall risk.
Inspect and segregate defects online for labels approximately 20 mm high.
Exchange inspection results and printer status with the production PLC.
Fit the inspection system into the existing printer footprint and support rapid label changeover.
Bosch selected the integrated BLC B-ZT6166 configuration for Zebra ZT610. The exit-mounted camera inspects the first label, supports barcode and text rules, and uses configurable I/O for PLC communication.
BLC follows the Zebra ZT610 label path while retaining the applicable defect-segregation workflow.
Inspection modules can be selected rapidly for the current label and production job.
Configurable I/O exchanges inspection decisions and printer status with the PLC.
Inspection at the printer exit helped reduce nonconforming-label risk while preserving the production footprint.
This page is an editorial web summary of the customer case study supplied by Richvoice. Product configuration and results are specific to the documented application.
Send the printer model, label dimensions, production speed and representative artwork. We will map the required inspection points.
