Print & Check for serialization on the side
The Print & Check system is designed for serialization in the food industry and enables in-line printing and verification of identification codes on each package. It is the starting point for creating a digital identity for the product, supporting quality, traceability, and compliance throughout the entire supply chain—from production to distribution and control by regulatory agencies.
Using an in-line integrated printer, the system applies a unique serial code on the side of each package. This ensures precise and secure identification of every sales unit. Alternatively, pre-printed labels can be applied while maintaining reliability and tracking control throughout the supply chain.
An integrated camera checks the readability and accuracy of each printed code, instantly detecting any printing errors. Non-compliant products are automatically rejected, preventing them from reaching the market. Acquired data is stored and made available for later stages, such as aggregation into secondary packaging (e.g. bundles, boxes, or pallets).
The system enhances productivity, minimizes error margins, and provides advanced protection against counterfeiting and unauthorized distribution. The ability to track each unit strengthens consumer trust and ensures a transparent supply chain, delivering strategic value to food producers.
