Automated Quality Control

Ballot-by-Ballot Quality Assurance

Printing Systems has created an amazing system that produces ballots very quickly and very accurately. Most of our production process has been automated using high speed vision sensors. This technology eliminates manual data entry and enables us to check the quality of every ballot we produce. If any of the following tolerances are not met, our system turns off and identifies the ballots that need to be replaced.

Numbering

Our system automatically detects a new ballot style and downloads the consecutive numbers, prefixes, and number color straight from an Excel Run List with no manual entry by the operator.

Our System automatically checks for missing ballot numbers and blank ballots.

Trimming

Our system automatically checks every ballot to make sure the ballots are trimmed according to the cut marks.

Perforating

Our system automatically checks every ballot to make sure perforations are square and in the correct position.

Precinct Accuracy

Our system automatically checks every ballot to make sure different precincts aren't intermixed.

This incredible system enables us to deliver ballots to our customers very quickly and gives our customers the added "peace of mind" that their ballots will perform well on Election Day!
