Traceability and barcode reading
END-OF-LINE PACKAGING
In packaging and end‑of‑line processes, reliable identification ensures that products are correctly labeled, verified and prepared for shipment. Cartons, trays and bundles must be verified at high speed, including the presence and correctness of barcodes as well as printed data such as batch numbers, expiration dates and shipping labels.
Fixed‑mounted identification sensors enable continuous reading of codes and characters directly on fast‑moving packaging lines, while handheld readers provide flexibility for mobile checks during setup, quality inspections or rework. By combining automated barcode reading with OCR‑based verification, manufacturers ensure full traceability, regulatory compliance and reliable logistics processes.
Key benefits
-
Reliable barcode reading on secondary packaging lines
Fixed‑mounted identification sensors ensure stable reading of 1D and 2D codes on cartons and bundles, supporting automated traceability at full production speed without scan failures. -
OCR verification of batch codes and expiration dates
Integrated OCR functionality enables automatic reading and validation of printed information such as lot numbers or best‑before dates, helping prevent incorrect or non‑compliant packaging. -
High flexibility with mobile handheld readers
Portable readers allow operators to perform spot checks, manual verification, rework confirmation and logistics scans wherever needed within the secondary packaging area. -
Improved quality assurance and compliance
Automated code and character verification reduces the risk of wrong, missing or unreadable information reaching the customer, supporting regulatory and customer requirements. -
Scalable traceability across the packaging line
The combination of fixed and mobile identification solutions allows traceability functions to be easily expanded or adapted as packaging requirements evolve.
