AVT and Mark Andy launch closed-loop register control alliance

AVT and Mark Andy have formed a strategic alliance combining AVT's inspection and production-data technology with Mark Andy's press engineering, aimed at label and hybrid press converters. The first joint products, a closed-loop register control system for Mark Andy's Performance Series and HD Series presses and a business-intelligence layer feeding AVT press data into the MA ProWorx platform, were introduced at Loupe Americas 2026 in Chicago.

Why this mattersThe tie-up signals a shift in press automation from motion control to closed-loop process control, raising the bar on startup-waste reduction and data visibility for label and packaging converters.
