Eyec launches system-independent cloud inspection platforms at Interpack

Eyec concluded its participation at the Interpack trade show in Dusseldorf, which took place from 7 to 13 May 2026. The Hamburg-headquartered company utilized the event to demonstrate its portfolio of intelligent artwork and print inspection systems to international packaging and processing professionals.

André Schwarz, director of marketing and documentation at Eyec, said, "Automated quality control is no longer a nice-to-have. It has become a core building block for efficient, sustainable, and reliable packaging processes all the way from prepress to production." Schwarz added that direct market dialogue at the event confirmed strong industry interest in specialized automation systems.

The center of the manufacturer's showcase was the Proofiler Graphic Connect, a system-independent software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. The cloud solution executes automated inspection of print-ready and step-and-repeat files. The architecture integrates directly into existing prepress workflows without requiring modifications to the print shop’s legacy system infrastructure.

For active production line monitoring, the company demonstrated artificial intelligence-powered inline inspection utilizing the Proofrunner Web Evo. The modular inspection setup ran in configuration with a Bobcat BRM press manufactured by French machinery specialist DCM, showing how real-time quality scanning can be integrated into high-speed printing equipment.

The company also displayed its scanner-based offline portfolio, featuring the Proofiler 600 DT and 1200 DT systems. These scanner units handle high-speed sample and incoming goods inspection for strict, safety-critical print sectors. The technical specifications are engineered to catch print errors on pharmaceutical folding boxes, package inserts, and variable data materials.
