Global Control Preferences Color New Serialization, Aggregation Lines

MGS focuses on small-footprint machinery that interconnects to other equipment on pharmaceutical lines and allows a single point of functionality.

Last year, MGS Machine, via its European partnership with INEL, introduced a line of pharmaceutical line-level serialization and aggregation equipment to the U.S. market designed to enable product manufacturers and contract packagers to comply with regulatory requirements pertaining to track-and-trace initiatives.

The MGS line includes carton inspection machines, aggregation units and software. All carton inspection units incorporate either inkjet or laser printing, as well as vision systems. Some units can be equipped with tamper-evident labeling and/or checkweighing equipment.

Customers requiring equipment that can function within a small footprint continue to influence MGS machinery development and design. Controls and automation systems play a role in MGS’s space-economical approach, says MGS President and CEO Richard Bahr. “Our HMI is the single point of contact for both machine control and for the serialization software,” he says. 

“There’s no need for two or three monitors, which can be confusing, waste time and take up unneeded space. We have all functions consolidated into our touchscreen, including recipe setup for new products requiring print, vision, labeling, checkweighing, or all of the above.”

Bahr says by using PC-based HMIs, MGS machinery can connect to other OEM equipment on the packaging line, such as printers and cameras. That permits control of all functions from a single touchscreen.
