SOMERSET, WI, February 23, 2026 – Preco, LLC, a global leader in laser processing and contract manufacturing solutions, announced the launch of AcuCheck, an in-process, real-time vision inspection system designed to transform quality assurance for micro-perforated flexible packaging.

AcuCheck is a quality assurance add-on compatible with Preco BeeLine™ systems and Preco's Web Direction High Speed Perforators within the last decade. Unlike traditional quality checks that rely on manual sampling after production, AcuCheck inspects thousands of perforations per roll while the web is running, providing immediate feedback, actionable alerts, and a complete quality report at the end of each run. This is critical for food and produce packaging applications, where micro-perforation performance directly impacts shelf life, food safety, and recall risk.

"AcuCheck eliminates the guesswork from micro-perforation quality," said Jake Brunsberg, CEO of Preco. "By inspecting thousands of holes in real time – while the web is running at full speed – manufacturers gain unmatched visibility, longer uptime, and confidence that quality is built into the process."

Traditional inspection methods require operators to stop production, cut samples, and inspect a small fraction of perforations, often at reduced machine speeds. AcuCheck delivers non-destructive, in-process inspection across the full roll, capturing 100x* more quality data than conventional methods.

Key capabilities include:

  • Real-time inspection of thousands of micro-perforations per roll during production
  • Detection of hole size, shape, and consistency down to 50 microns
  • Configurable fault thresholds with alarms or automatic line shutdown
  • High-clarity imaging with inspection accuracy at speeds up to 1,500 feet per minute
  • Statistical quality reports generated automatically for every roll
  • Reduced operator dependency and simplified training
