Error in BRAILLE !
Friday 04. April 2008 - And who is liable for damages?
In future it will be mandatory to provide information about package contents in Braille, and not only on pharmaceutical packaging. But how shall the packaging manufacturer track down the notorious “printers devil”? Its hard enough to recognize errors in plain type so how much more difficult is it to do this with Braille! But everyone active in this field knows how important it is to be able to check texts and ensure they are error-free.
With its FAG BrailleScan, FAG Graphic Systems of Switzerland provides an automatic control system that is to be presented to the international trade public for the first time at drupa 2008. The device reads Braille texts with a maximum size of 40 x 120 mm at a maximum speed of 120 m/min. Based on a processing time of 200 m/sec. around 5 labels (or similar products) can be evaluated. The FAG BrailleScan sensor reads the Braille, translates it into plain text, and compares this with a text input by the user.
FAG BrailleScan is to be demonstrated on the new FAG MBP 50 inspection and enhancement line in Hall 9/A21, the joint stand of the affiliated companies MABEG and FAG. For an appointment for demonstrations and consultation at the show, interested parties are recommended to contact the manufacturer right now:
