CRIS2020


Sensors Integration, a leading supplier for barcode verification, has launched the CRIS2020 System - adding a safety circuit methodology to the verification process. Sensors Integration understands that adding simple barcode verification alone to your packaging line cannot ensure product verification. Consumer safety and confidence depends on this, not to mention, preventing costly recalls and lawsuits.

The design of the CRIS2020 is based on insights from packaging and system engineers from leading companies, who had the need for a reliable and accurate system for the verification and inspection of the packaging of their products. The CRIS2020 is more than a barcode verifier, it is a methodology and system that makes your packaging line inspection system control reliable. If any single component of the system becomes unplugged, or dysfunctional, the CRIS2020 shuts the line down within one cycle. This is significant because other barcode verifiers simply look for a reject signal from the inspection device. This can allow the line to continue running with the failed scanner, trigger device or reject device undetected. Our system sends out a shut down signal on each cycle and assumes a fault unless otherwise overridden by a positive match signal from either a barcode or vision scanner. This ensures a true control reliable system.

Typical industrial applications for the CRIS2020 are food, pharmaceutical and chemical packaging, or wherever product package verification is needed.

CONTROL RELIABLE Inspection System

Where required by ANSI standards, the importance of using safety relays to achieve control reliable circuits can be explained as follows:

Control Reliable Systems must be designed such that "a single component failure within the system does not prevent the stopping action from taking place but will prevent successive system cycles until that failure has been corrected."

With the CRIS2020, this means that when any component of the inspection system such as a Barcode Scanner, trigger eye or output device including the downstream reject device, has a failure, the CRIS2020 will detect that failed component and shut the line down on the next product completing the inspection zone.
