RUBY Check – improve your package printing
With the RUBY Check extension you have full access to the defect detection data created by the VISION CHECK system on your printing press and stored on the RUBY system.
It allows you to review all detected defects, to compare them with the golden master and to decide whether an area has to be marked as defective for the downstream process or not. By this you can leave the final quality control to quality managers in the office.
For further automation of your downstream processes like laminating or slitting you can use our RUBY Check@Slitter module, which automatically stops the downstream processing machine at the defective areas from the roll protocol.
To get a quick overview about the number and the location of defect hotspots in the design you can use our unique heat map inside RUBY Check. In addition only RUBY Check allows you to analyse the potential root cause of a defect by comparing the trending of all machine parameters with the positions of the detected defects in the roll protocol.
For all W&H printing presses equipped with the VISION CHECK defect detection system.
Use cases with RUBY Check
1. Traceability and Claim Management
- Guarantees complete traceability of the inspection data for at least 1 year.
- Detailed roll- and job reports.
2. Remote Quality Assessment
- Leave quality control to quality managers
- Review, analyse and process your print inspection data remotely for increased production efficiency and print quality
- Find all possible defects at a glance with our new defect heatmap for highly efficient assessment of your inspection data
3. Root Cause Analysis
- RUBY Check is fully integrated into the W&H world
- Overlay machine parameter trending and print inspection data for root cause analysis
- Optimize your processes and become more efficient
4. Downstream Processing with RUBY Check
Speed up your Downstream Processing with RUBY Check
Optimize your end-to-end workflow to reuse defect detection data from the printing machine. Use the W&H’s new Inkjet Marking System integrated in your printing press to mark your jobs for safe position tracking of defects by means of meter markings, completely independent of a starting position.
W&H’s print inspection system VISION CHECK detects print defects, which you can assess conveniently from your office with RUBY Check. Define waste areas which should be removed.
With RUBY Check@Slitter you can locate this print defects easily in further process steps (slitter, rewinder…) fully automatically. The Mark Reader positioned in your processing machine identifies the job and the job position based on the inkjet marking. The processed data is automatically called up and displayed at the RUBY Check Terminal on the processing machine. RUBY Check controls the processing machine and stops at the correct position automatically to the desired position (if supported by manufacturer) for efficient and time-saving processing.
