For ALTech UK it was evolution of an already proven design, to produce their most flexible CAMPAIGN feed and labelling system yet. For Baker Taylor it was revolution taking a completely manual and highly labour intensive multiple of processes and turning it in to an automated single process - Feeding, Print & Apply Labelling and then Restacking a massive variety of different books of all thicknesses and sizes (inc hard back and soft back) at a consistent, constant rate of more than 80 books per minute for most books.
What impressed the Baker Taylor management most however was the ease in which such a revolution was implemented. With huge experience in the entertainments products sector, ALTech UK are only to well aware that whilst its solutions need to be technically impressive in terms of both the solution and the results they can produce, they also need to be simple and intuitive enough to be used by a largely “non technical” workforce that typifies the sector - which is exactly what make our new solution so impressive.
“What is true”, comments Adrian Edgeworth, one of ALTech UK’s Senior Mechanical Engineers, “is that if we can feed such a wide variety of books as reliably as this, then any CD, DVD or Game product would be easy!”
When designed specifically for CD, DVD or GAME products ALTech UK’s feed and labelling systems are proven capable of a CONTINUOUS feed of more than 120 units per minute. The system is also able to feed mixed thickness and size products in the same batch in the case of an intelligent “one to one” print and apply solution (i.e. applying a unique label to each individual product)
