From Labelexpo Europe 2025, SCREEN and DeCoSystem SRL will display how the Sentinel Platinum inspection system installed on the Truepress LABEL digital inkjet label presses is poised to drive label production efficiency and quality control.
SCREEN has partnered with DeCoSystem SRL to integrate their advanced Sentinel label inspection system with Truepress LABEL digital inkjet UV label presses. This collaboration promises to deliver real-time defect detection and data verification to further enhance the efficiency, quality, and consistency of SCREEN digital label printing.
This advanced solution will be publicly presented for the first time at Labelexpo Europe 2025, where visitors to the SCREEN booth in Hall 5, Stand 55 will be able to observe the Sentinel Platinum inspection system operating on the Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI S.
Precision Inspection Now for Digital Label Printing
DeCoSystem’s Sentinel range offers different inspection resolutions depending on the printing method and requested performance. For high-speed digital and hybrid digital/flexo systems, the Sentinel Platinum model delivers the highest level of performance utilising a contact image sensor (CIS) and a customised lamp to ensure high-resolution labels are accurately inspected without slowing printing speeds.
From an intuitive operator interface, the system detects a wide range of potential defects in real time, and while the Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI rarely has operational issues, this functionality can be invaluable for converters working with difficult substrates or finding operator errors. While converters working in sectors that require quality assurance and full traceability, it also provides high-resolution data verification by comparing scanned output directly against the original PDF files, checking data accuracy, barcode and QR code readability, and other variable data elements.
At the end of each production run, the Sentinel system then automatically generates detailed reports identifying the type and position of any defects, enabling complete quality documentation, corrective action, and subsequent workflow optimisation.
DeCoSystem Verification with Truepress LABEL Printing
The Sentinel Platinum system can be easily installed into Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI label presses with compact hardware and thorough, intuitive software integration enabling precise, high-resolution label defect and verification at full production speeds.
The system also functions in combination with SCREEN’s rewinder solution, allowing defects to be located, corrected, and verified without unnecessary substrate waste. Reports from the inspection system guide the rewinder to specific defects for efficient correction, further supporting sustainable production.
And by communicating between SCREEN’s EQUIOS workflow management software and MIS systems, Sentinel Platinum can analyse job definition files (JDF) to acquire job data, and, thanks to advanced artificial intelligence protocols, can automatically recognise the label design, quality tolerances, and dimensions, reducing false label rejections and setup times.
For label converters working with sensitive applications such as pharmaceutical and personal care, this new solution offers waste reduction through early detection and correction of defects (which also supports ongoing sustainability initiatives), fully verified data integrity invaluable for product certification, and the ability to provide end customers with documented proof of defect-free and data-verified production earlier in the production workflow. Together, these improvements enhance the already exceptional printing consistency of the Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI, streamlining overall production efficiency and profitability throughout the entire label converting workflow.
Label Inspection & Digital Printing Productivity at Labelexpo 2025
At Labelexpo Europe 2025, SCREEN‘s Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI S will be operating continuously throughout the show, highlighting this system’s reliable engineering that has resulted in its industry-leading press uptimes, now with every label produced inspected and verified by the Sentinel Platinum system. Visitors will see first-hand how the press maintains uninterrupted, high-quality production, and if any issues are detected, they can be immediately and decisively addressed.
DeCoSystem SRL will also showcase six additional inspection systems on its own booth in Hall 3, Stand G25, and six more integrated with various printing equipment providers throughout the exhibition, demonstrating how their collaborations are driving label printing technological advancement and customer value.
“We’re seeing how converter’s clients are increasingly expecting more assurances and verification that they receive their labels exactly as expected,” said Carlo Sammarco, Business Development Director Label & Packaging Solutions at SCREEN Europe. “By combining the reliability of SCREEN’s Truepress LABEL technology with the precision of DeCoSystem’s inspection systems, we can deliver a workflow that simultaneously gives clients the assurance their labels are defect free, while enhancing the converters productivity, quality, and customer confidence.”
