Intelligent Solutions for Minimal Cost per Card
With its smart two-track production concept in combination with great operator friendliness and low operating costs,
the AZ-alpha minimizes the cost per card. The AZ-alpha actually consists of two systems in one as cards are personalized
in two parallel tracks. Both tracks can be used together for one application or even separately for multi-job processing.
For instance, if one track is used for the main production, the other one can process smaller jobs at the same time.

Focus on Investment Protection
The AZ-alpha was designed according to the Atlantic Zeiser
module philosophy. All modules are separate functional units
which can be joined together in flexible configurations to process
a broad variety of applications. Whenever necessary, updates or
retrofits can be integrated by simple plug-and-play.
