N
ew generation technologies play an important role
in achieving cost-cuttings and securing identifica-
tion and traceability along the packaging line. Zetes
South Africa, a leading provider of supply chain, identi-
fication and mobility solutions will showcase the com-
pany’s expertise in the field of secure identification and
traceability, as well as warehouse operational efficiency
at Propak Cape this year.
The companywill showcase its ZetesAtlas and Zetes-
Medea solutions to the delegates attending the event.
According to Karin Parker, Executive Head – Sales
& Marketing for Zetes South Africa, the ability to build
an innovative and collaborative supply chain, starts with
robust product identification or serialisation, and similarly
efficiencyandproductivityarekeyelementstoconsider,in
realising a collaborative supply chain. ‘It is for this reason
that this year we will showcase the two solutions, which
address these elements,’ said Parker.
ZetesAtlas packaging solution facilitates the secure
and efficient management of even the most demanding
identification processes. This suite allows full control of
the packaging process at all key levels, ensures data-
security, helps in ensuring full process visibility, fighting
counterfeiting, ensuring compliance with legislation and
protecting health safety.
Parker said that ZetesAtlas provides a basis for full
compliance with the industry’s most dynamic identifica-
tion standards – EPC and ePedigree.
On the other hand, ZetesMedea, the logistics execu-
tion solution, is a next generation system and accommo-
dates rapid deployment of its voice picking solution. Mini-
mal training is required, thus voice picking operators can
be fully operational in hours instead of days. This solu-
tion extends the functionality of WMS/ERP systems and
drives operational efficiencies throughout the warehouse
operations.
‘Zetes has tested and proven that voice picking is typi-
cally 10 – 15 percent faster than traditional paper-based
picking, and 15 – 25 percent faster than RF handheld
picking. Delegates are encourage to visit the Zetes’ stand
– B67 to see the demonstration of how this solution can
assist them in their warehouse operations,’ explained
Parker.
Through the integration of the latest data capture
technologies (such as barcode, RFID, voice and ImageID
systems) and integrating the data flow toWMS/ERP and
SAP systems, ZetesMedea provides a highly scalable
solution that maximises every warehouse process from
Goods-In to the Dock Door.
Parker says that Zetes will also demonstrate their
MCL Mobility Platform, which allows their customers to
build, deploy, run and manage mobile applications faster
and from virtually anywhere, regardless of operating sys-
tem (OS) or mobile device. ‘This platform is dedicated to
supply chain process execution and manages the entire
mobile infrastructure, application and device lifecycle –
enabling a “build once, deploy to many” approach,’ she
added.
To experience first-hand how these solutions can
benefit your supply chain process, visit the Zetes stand at
Propak Cape 2014.

creenwill highlight the on-demand, variable data ca-
pabilities of the Truepress Jet520 inkjetweb press at
the inaugural Kern Open House – 8 – 11 September,

at the event demonstrating products that complement
Kern’s extensive portfolio of mailroom hardware and
software solutions for inserting, pre- and post-processing.
The Screen Truepress Jet520 is the world’s most suc-
cessful high-speed, variable data inkjet web press, a truly
innovative mono and full-colour device designed to meet
demand for quality, high-speed, on-demand production of
transpromotional print, direct mail, newspapers, maga-
zines and books. With amaximumweb-width of 520mm,
the Truepress Jet520 prints onto a wide variety of stand-
ard/uncoated papers, including general-purpose and re-
cycled stocks, at up to 220m/min. In addition, the 720 x
720dpi resolution—the highest of any single-pass inkjet
system—makes the press perfect for work demanding
the highest quality.
At the Kern Open House Screen will demonstrate the
Truepress Jet520 with the EQUIOS universal workflow,
the popular Kern 100 unwinder, the Kern 110 rewinder
and Kern 135 DataTracker powered by Axode camera
system. Featuring the Adobe PDF Print Engine at its
core, EQUIOS provides integrated job management and
consistent colour management acrossmultiple output de-
vices, and also enables automated communication with
third-party input and finishing devices via EQUIOS JDF.
The Kern 135 DataTracker is installed at the output end
of the Truepress Jet520 and checks each print in real time
for nonconformance, stopping the press when necessary.
Easy to implement and operate, the Kern 135DataTracker
ensures variable data output is complete and error-free.
The Open House is the first such event held by Kern
and is intended to become the first of a regular series
of international forums where delegates from the print-
ing and publishing sectors can meet and consult with
industry experts in automated mailing and packaging
technology. For more information go to
