How do I remove kapton tape from soldered parts in bulk?

I have a batch of PCBs with SMT nuts which has been assembled onto a PCB - the nut has kapton tape on top to allow easy pickup for assembly. How can we do this faster/what's a better method?

Poke the tape with a rod from the back (which loosens it but doesn’t remove it completely), and then use tape to remove it. The method is pretty quick and can remove several thousand per hour when using a jig.
