Presto 1550 Retrofit

Situation
A Muller Martini Presto 1550 saddle-stitching line needed matching and barcode verification, competing against the OEM built-in ASIR system.
What MJR did
Installed the MJR Multi-Camera Matching Application as an add-on, with cameras that can be placed anywhere on the line and barcode reading anywhere on the signature as long as it is visible during merging and assembly.
Outcome
Camera Matching on the Muller Martini Presto 1550 is installed and running, and the customer is very happy with its performance. The retrofit was installed in one day. A side-by-side comparison against ASIR is available as a PDF.

Controls retrofit

Kirk Rudy 535CS Tabber

Situation
Kirk Rudy discontinued support for the 535CS board-level tabber and offered only a new unit purchase.
What MJR did
Redesigned the board-level electronics rather than replacing the machine, and added an MJR inkjet printer that prints on the inkjet base before the tabs are applied. Printing on the tabs themselves is available as an option.
Outcome
The existing tabber stayed in production and gained printing capability it did not have from the factory.

Controls retrofit

Pitney Bowes FX FlowMaster

Situation
The FX FlowMaster platform — whose manufacturing was later acquired by BlueCrest — was discontinued, leaving the line without original manufacturer support.
What MJR did
Performed a full electronics and PLC redesign so an MJR PLC controls the entire process end to end, with the option to add matching cameras and an address printer.
Outcome
A discontinued platform continues to run under supportable MJR controls, with a clear path to add vision and addressing later.
