🔥 Big Quality. Small Batches. Not every card-production project requires thousands of units. For samples, prototypes, specialist cards, development work and short production runs, single-sheet lamination offers manufacturers greater flexibility—without compromising the quality of the finished product. Oasys Technologies’ compact lamination solutions make it possible to produce small batches of high-quality banking, ID and contactless […]
Robots, AMRs and automation – are we there yet? 🤖💳 The banking card industry has spent decades automating individual manufacturing processes. Collation. Lamination. Punching. Inspection. Packaging. But what happens when we start connecting those processes together? The next evolutionary step could be a production environment where robots and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)don’t just work inside individual […]
Meet The Team – Kirsty Murphy – helping keep Oasys Technologies connected, coordinated and running smoothly. Since joining Oasys Technologies in 2022 as the Directors’ Administrator, Kirsty has become a highly valued member of the team. Working closely with the company’s Directors, she provides essential administrative and organisational support across the business, helping to ensure […]
Game of Cards 🎴 – when banking technology meets the gaming world. What does manufacturing a banking card have in common with producing a premium gaming or trading card? More than you might think. The worlds may be very different, but many of the manufacturing challenges are remarkably familiar. Precision. Consistency. Collation. Lamination. Cutting. Quality. […]
AI in engineering – for real? 🤖⚙️ Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries around the world. But what does it actually mean for engineering? Will AI replace engineers, machinists and installers? We don’t think so. AI has enormous potential to change how machinery is designed, manufactured and maintained – analysing data, supporting design optimisation, identifying patterns […]
Applied Cleaning Logic – one principle, very different materials. Effective contact cleaning isn’t simply about removing contamination. It’s about understanding the material you’re cleaning and applying the right cleaning process without compromising the product. At Oasys Technologies, our Contact Sheet Cleaning systems have been engineered with versatility in mind. From micro-thin, flexible materials requiring extremely careful handling, through […]
Meet The Team – David Franklin – bringing more than 30 years of smart card expertise to Oasys Technologies. David began his career in the semiconductor industry during the mid-1980s, working with California-based memory specialist Xicor Inc. and Siemens Semiconductors in Munich—now Infineon Technologies. His time at Siemens introduced him to the emerging world of […]
Not the CCTV you might be thinking of… Inside modern card production machinery, increasingly sophisticated camera systems are providing manufacturers with a close-up view of what’s happening at critical stages of the production process. Think of it as Credit Card Television. Compact cameras and vision systems can monitor materials as they move through machinery, helping […]
Almost everything is becoming digital. We tap to pay. We shop online. Tickets live on our phones. So surely the physical gift card should be disappearing too? And yet, there’s something digital still struggles to replicate: tangibility. Sending someone a digital code is convenient. Handing them a physical gift card feels like giving them something. It […]
In banking card manufacturing, the answer can make the difference between a perfect finished product and costly rejection. Dust, fibres and microscopic particles may seem insignificant, but when materials are being printed, collated and laminated, even tiny contaminants can become trapped between layers – potentially creating visible defects and affecting production yield. That’s why Contact […]
