AIS Ltd, a wholly owned Irish company has today announced the launch of a new product, the VB-6 smart/industrial interface unit.
Designed and manufactured in Ireland, this unique device can be custom programmed
, and, due to its small size can easily slot into workstations (in manufacturing facilities) for verifying, scanning and confirming data etc., where space may be an issue.
The VB-6 is already deployed in a number of global medical device companies, based in Ireland, as well as a number of leading companies in the food and beverage sector.
It can be used in any number of applications such as:
• Verifying barcode presence and data in production, with a fixed barcode reader.
• Confirming (barcoded) product contents at manual packing stations.
• Verifying barcode and OCR data in production (requires camera). 
• Scanning barcode data, modifying/manipulating data and re-printing (label printer/laser/ink jet etc.).
• Receiving data from RFID controller and presenting on screen or storing on a server.
• Receiving data from a PLC or PC and displaying on screen for operator.
Simon Smyth, Managing Director of AIS Ltd commented that “the VB-6 is a culmination of nearly 2 decades of knowledge and expertise. By working closely with global companies in the medical device, pharma, manufacturing and food and beverage sectors, we saw first-hand the need for a product as multipurpose as this. It is a very exciting time for AIS Ltd. Nothing like this exists on the market”.
Features such as the full colour touch screen, quick set-up times, ability to work with most scanners/printers/scales etc. in a production line, makes this a truly versatile device.
