Wolke Thermal Inkjet Team Launches Next Generation Printer For Track and Trace OEMs

NAVI MUMBAI, India, September 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Innovative m600 OEM Delivers Ultimate Integration Flexibility With the Industry's Most
Powerful Set of Global Track and Trace Capabilities

    Healthcare companies around the world will be expected to meet imminent drug and
medical legislations, including the European Union Falsified Medicines Directive (EU FMD)
and the US Drugs Quality and Security Act (DQSA). Such legislation is creating a clear
necessity for global traceability solutions to better trace manufactured product, help
stamp out counterfeit pharmaceuticals and protect global consumer health. Although the
pharmaceutical and medical sectors are most immediately affected, other industries
including tobacco, chemicals and food and beverage are close behind with the need for more
sophisticated supply chain track and trace. In response, Wolke by Videojet has developed a
new printing technology specifically for track and trace applications, supporting the
packaging line OEMs and integrators that supply turnkey hardware and software for these
mandated serialization projects.

    Since 2000, Wolke has become a trusted leader in Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) coding

technology, with its legendary 'm600
advanced' serving as the global benchmark for serialization capabilities. Wolke engineers
based in Germany have created an all-new TIJ printing solution, combining the strengths of
the m600 advanced with innovative new capabilities that set a benchmark for the future of
global track and trace applications. The result is the Wolke m600 OEM. Practical in build
and intelligent in design, the m600 OEM delivers absolute integration versatility combined
with the industry's most powerful data handling and serialization capabilities, enabling
manufacturers to meet global track and trace requirements of today and tomorrow.

    The m600 OEM features new, smaller physical dimensions, delivering a footprint up to
60% smaller than comparable TIJ control systems for secure integration of the controller
directly inside the serialization electrical cabinet. With 18 possible mounting
orientations and a choice of four distinct printhead designs optimized for integration
into constrained track and trace packaging spaces, the m600 OEM becomes a natural part of
the overall serialization solution. The option to connect up to six printheads, with any
four running simultaneously, unlocks new possibilities for switching seamlessly between
various marking locations without mechanical adjustments.

    Drew Weightman, Global Business Unit Manager of TIJ at Wolke and Videojet explains:
"The m600 advanced is a renowned machine that has become the trusted standard for track
and trace applications around the world. However, we saw an opportunity to build from that
solid foundation, introducing even more cutting edge technology, processing power and
security capabilities in a new form factor. The resulting m600 OEM is optimized in all of
these ways for global track and trace projects of the future, from Brazil to Italy,
Germany to Korea."

    The Wolke m600 OEM

offers complete backwards
compatibility with the industry recognized Wolke m600 advanced machine to allow use of the
same communication protocols, printheads, accessories and existing label layouts, while
offering sophisticated new communication, logging and data handling capabilities. The m600
OEM also offers an enhanced data buffer capable of intelligently queuing and managing vast
numbers of pharmaceutical records and Unicode font capabilities for seamless support of
international projects. With multi-level password protection of remote connections,
comprehensive activity logging and no possibility for data or settings changes via the
one-way controller display, the m600 OEM sets a new standard for process security and
support of 21CFR Part 11 compliance.

    Roland Nickel, Wolke TIJ Marketing Development expert at Videojet, adds: "Developing a
practical design for sophisticated pharmaceutical OEMs was critical, but we also wanted to
deliver advanced performance for the end user with new innovative features that drive
productivity. A new feature we call Perpetuo Print ModeTM provides users with the choice
to either double the production run time between cartridge changes or manage their ink
replenishment without needing to stop the line. In addition, we have introduced Dynamic
Print IntensityTM, an innovative capability that allows configuration of different DPI
resolutions for bar codes and text within a single printhead, intelligently boosting ink
efficiency and run-time between cartridge changes particularly for complex pharmaceutical
code formats."

    Compatible with the latest Wolke cartridge technology, the m600 OEM enables
manufacturers to reach previously unattainable print speeds and throughput, supported with
ultra-fast handling of serialized data that exceeds 20 variable records per second, even
of complex 2D DataMatrix formats.

    Weightman concludes: "Wolke has a long legacy of working directly with respected
vision inspection and packaging line equipment manufacturers to develop highly capable
coding solutions specialized for track and trace applications. With the m600 OEM, we have
done that again. We would encourage pharmaceutical, medical and other manufacturers to
contact Wolke, Videojet or their serialization partner to find out how they can benefit
from this new global standard in integrated serialized coding."
