High-Speed Item-Level Serialization, Built to Flex

Need to code, serialize, and verify individual items without slowing down your line? The OPTEL ItemUnit™ is a modular system for online coding, serialization, and verification of single items in the pharmaceutical packaging process – combining precision transport, inline vision inspection, and flexible print technology in one compact station.

ItemUnit™ runs at speeds of up to 400 ppm across four servo-driven lanes, with a choice of thermal inkjet or CO2 laser printing, so you can match the coding technology to your product and still meet EU FMD, DSCSA, and other global compliance mandates.

Built for Speed, Built for Flexibility

ItemUnit™ pairs a four-lane, servo-driven conveyor with a transport system that runs laser and inkjet print systems alike — no need to choose your line speed and your print technology separately. Belt speed adjusts up to 70 m/min, transfer height adapts from 750 to 1000 mm, and throughput scales up to 400 ppm, making ItemUnit™ a fit for high-volume item-level serialization without compromising on control.

Inspection That Keeps Pace

Every item is verified as it moves — not after. ItemUnit™’s integrated vision system reads and confirms each code inline, with the option to add a second camera station to verify data in up to two positions simultaneously. Configurable software features, including an integrated label designer and automatic vision configuration based on label design, mean format changes don’t mean re-engineering your inspection setup.

Compliance Without Compromise

Whether your line runs thermal inkjet, 60 W CO2 laser, or 30 W CO2 laser coding, ItemUnit™ delivers reliable serialization and verification built for pharmaceutical packaging environments — with tool-free adaptability across print positions and an industrial PC platform (Intel Core i5, 18.5″ touchscreen) built for continuous operation.

Backed by OPTEL’s 35+ years of global track-and-trace expertise, ItemUnit™ helps manufacturers meet EU FMD, DSCSA, and other regulatory mandates at item level – reliably, and at scale.
