CVS Matching System
About us Contact us Project Examples
The IPS 2000 CVS is a real time control system that integrates OCR, barcode and magnetic stripe technologies. The CVS reads codes or personalized reference information from up to four different products and verifies that the printed information on the products are matched within the same production process.
To minimize production waste, the control system has a user definable error thresholds to setup conditions under which the production line can be programmed to stop. Mismatched products can be diverted if a gate is available on the production line. A no-read and misread system output control is also independently definable. To compensate for inherent input device errors, enhanced matching logic has been incorporated into the CVS software to increase production throughput.
Applications
Mass production of customer credit cards for direct mailings
Collating of prenumbered or bar coded sets of business forms
Collating of personalized products on inserting lines
Verification of production elements used in medical testing forms
Inserting of personalized signatures in the envelope inserter
Production lines
Sheet fed production lines
Web fed production lines
Envelope inserters
Packaging lines
System
The CMS control system runs on a standard IBM compatible PC with a real time, multi-tasking operating system in conjunction programmable logic controller and system software.
Up to four (4) serial reading/input devices can be interfaced to the system:
-Barcode scanners
-Magnetic stripe readers
-OCR CamerasThe maximum system production throughput is 10 products per second – actual production throughput is input device dependent.
Tracking distance of up to 99 products between product detection of the first and the last product.
On-line system status monitoring.
Product detect photo cell and rotary encoder
Standard length cables for controller connection to production line
Options
Production verification to database information.
Customization for specific application requirements.
