Matthews Australasia (Stand 360) will demonstrate a range of coding, labelling, inspection and integration solutions this year.

The company’s general manager of operations Mark Dingley says the last year has included the launch of several new coding technologies which will be seen at AUSPACK.

“Manufacturers are always searching for productivity and efficiency improvements in their working capital, and these launches set a new benchmark in ease-of-operation and maintenance as well as overall improvement in cost-of-ownership compared with existing technologies,” Dingley said.

“We think every manufacturer will find this exciting, and the technologies are so ground-breaking that we’ve entered three of them into the AUSPACK Best New Product Awards, which are sponsored by the magazine PKN.” 

Dingley said the coding specialist would also showcase a variety of technologies including its award-winning iDSnet Enterprise and iDSnet Manager reporting software, small character continuous inkjet coders, thermal transfer over printers, lasers, large character drop-on-demand printers, label applicators and label-print applicators.

Matthews’ popular Chameleon Bar will also open for drinks and refreshments from 3:30pm each day of AUSPACK.

“Come and join us to discuss the latest in manufacturing trends and best practice from around the world in identification and inspection technologies,” Dingley stated.
