EyeC’s health warning inspection tool (HWIT) is designed to enable companies to create a merged file with all compliant health warnings, which will serve as a reference during inspections.
The tool automatically enables manufacturers to assign and combine health warnings from Health Warning Document Libraries with their artwork files.
EyeC Proofiler product manager Oliver Peitzner said: “With the EyeC inspection systems and the EyeC HWIT, tobacco manufacturers can now easily automate their controls and avoid product recalls.
“They no longer have to perform tedious and complicated manual checks of health warnings. Our first product demonstrations have been a real success. The need for automation and risk reduction has never been so high in the tobacco industry.”

The company noted that its solutions can detect all items automatically, including text, graphics, 1D and 2D codes, health warnings, and their rotations in a single inspection cycle.
Based in Hamburg, Germany, the company offers file-to-file comparison for artwork revision control and prepress applications, as well as print-to-file inspection systems for press sample testing. It also provides print quality control for folding cartons, labels, leaflets, or flexible packaging.
