Wrong-label prevention
Prove the right label and code are on the right product
A perfectly readable barcode can still be wrong for the product. We link code inspection with product identity, production orders and label data to prevent SKU mix-ups, allergen risk, incorrect artwork and costly rework.
Application focus
Compare what is printed with what should be running
The expected identity may come from an operator-selected recipe, scanned work order, upstream barcode, PLC, MES, ERP or label-management database. The system captures the code on each pack and only returns a pass when the relevant data matches the authorised product record.
For stronger control, barcode comparison can be combined with label artwork, colour, OCR, cap, closure or pack-format checks. Recipe access and changeover confirmation help remove manual judgement from high-risk starts and product transitions.
Designed around the risk
What the system helps you achieve
Reduce changeover errors
Protect allergen controls
Automate master-data checks
A proven project route
From sample to a production-ready inspection
We define the pass criteria first, prove the imaging and data logic, then integrate the complete inspection and reject sequence.
Application review
Product, code, substrate, speed, line layout and data requirements.
Sample trials
Optics, lighting, resolution and achievable tolerance tested on real packs.
System integration
Camera, controls, guarding, reject and upstream interfaces engineered together.
Commissioning
Recipes, fault handling, training and agreed acceptance tests completed.
Common questions
What manufacturers ask us
Every line is different. These are the practical questions that shape a dependable barcode verification project.
Ask an engineerWhere does the expected product data come from?+
It can come from a local recipe, work-order scan, PLC, line-management platform, MES, ERP, label software or database.
Can it compare two codes on the same pack?+
Yes. For example, a primary-pack code can be matched with a carton, sleeve, case or pallet code.
Can barcode matching be combined with artwork inspection?+
Yes. A common solution combines code content with OCR, logo, colour and artwork features in one inspection sequence.
