Datacard expands MX card issuance suite

October 17, 2013

Datacard Group, a provider of card personalization solutions, has announced the expansion of its MX card issuance product suite with the Datacard MX8100 card issuance system, which is targeted at high volume applications.   

The MX8100 system features a rated speed of up to 3,000 cards per hour, with card quality and system integrity, multi-layered security features and production efficiency all in one system, the company said in a news release. 

The MX8100 system also offers true field modularity, which means that entirely new or enhanced modules — for instance, high speed embossing, quality assurance, streamlined smart card handling and physical and logical security — can be field-installed in a matter of minutes, which helps drive investment protection, the Datacard release said.  

Up to 40 modules can be configured in a variety of combinations within a single system. In an inline card delivery and insertion system, the MX8100 system provides flexibility to enable a complete card-to-envelope solution. 

"[W]e are pleased to offer organizations a complete suite of products that can support virtually any configuration for card and secure ID programs," said Dino Balafas, vice president of central issuance at Datacard. "Our customers can take advantage of the significant benefits gained from a common software and technology platform, including optimizing soft costs such as training personnel, moving and reconfiguring equipment for demand, and utilizing common parts for reliable service. These all lead directly to a more efficient production environment."
