The marking requirements from

tomorrow already targeted today

The REA Elektronik GmbH is one of the leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of complete marking technology. As an innovative leader REA offers integrated solutions. From the product direct-marking, the marking of individual packing and shipping boxes, up to the marking of the pallet. The branch-spreading REA JET systemsolutions are highly innovative and ensure maximum investment protection.

The product range includes the technologies of CO2 and fiber laser, piezo-, thermal- and valve- ink jet systems in the small and large print version, as well as the spray mark systems and labeling. As manufacturers of these systems REA can always offer its customers the suitable marking technology and thus the optimal solution. The direct contact of the manufacturer to the user guarantees a quick implementation of market requirements by its own development department.

As an innovative leader REA offers as first manufacturer an identical user- and communication interface for laser and thermal ink jet based identification systems.

This makes the mixed employment of both technologies possible for each customer, with just one implementation effort. By this unique REA concept the need for training is also drastically reduced and the qualification of the employees is increased.

This leads for example by less operator errors to a significantly improved availability (OEE = Overall Equipment Effectiveness) of the production. Customers from the pharmaceutical industry benefit from the same user interface with consistent and reliable SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures). The innovation leadership comes out among other things in the following characteristics of REA JET products.

 

The globalization of the markets requires more and more safe techniques for the serialization of products and the falsification protection. REA JET offers:

Investment and future security

The integration of marking and coding systems into the respective customer network is often demanded today. The use of XML standards for printing, equipment and plant data is the basis for efficient implementation of this important requirement. Contrary to many other devices available on the market, it is not simply an additional data format when using the REA JET XML. Also the entire internal equipment data retention and communication is based on the XML standard. For customers, this is the guarantee for complete data compatibility and long-term availability. The strict use of this standard, in connection with the Unicode based character set and the support of true type fonts, guarantees highest investment protection. Due to their wide-range power supply the units are directly usable worldwide - without conversion.

The implementation of software updates within the market segment of the pharmaceutical industry is a particular challenge that is often associated with high effort and cost. With the special update technology used by REA JET this effort and the associated costs can be reduced clearly. Exceptional at the technology used by REA is that independently of a software update, the previous communication protocol can be maintained for the connection to the master control system. Then this area does not have to be examined again during a revaluation and/or a new validation of a machine.

A fast and nevertheless all claims of quality fulfilling integration is for each machine-manufacturer an important condition for success at the market today. In order to support the system integrator in this demanding task, the standard package of the REA JET systems includes:

The substantial accessories program, which offers many innovative ideas, completes the range.

REA does not see herself as an equipment, but as a system provider. To meet this requirement, REA JET has its own ink development and production department. Particularly to emphasize is the by REA developed ink „REA JET Black Eagle “, which is filled up in new Hewlett Packard cartouches. This for lacquer free surfaces optimized ink is characterized by the high density, very short drying time and fastness to light. For applications on non-absorbent materials, the ink "REA JET UV curable Black" is available, which cures with UV LED light in a very short time. As technology leader REA provides a special latex-based ink "REA JET MC1876 Latex Black" for surfaces which are particularly difficult to mark.

With the development and production location Germany, in connection with the worldwide offices and agencies, REA is a reliable partner for domestic and global active industrial companies. The comprehensive competence as an all-in-one-supplier of marking technology is underlined by the REA Verifier verification device.

These rounds off the delivery spectrum with worldwide approved 1D and 2D-devices for code testing. All devices and unique characteristics presented in this article will be debuted live on the Interpack in Duesseldorf from

12. – 10. May 2011. Please visit us in hall 11, stand F32.
