The Solution

In order to successfully conduct the verification mandate, every label has a Label Control Number (LCN) in both 2-D and human-readable code formats. These codes serve to verify that the most up-to-date version of the label is applied to every product.  They also serve as a match code to verify that front and rear labels are paired properly. 

The co-packer contacted kmV to discuss the mandate and the challenges it presented. During the ensuing Applied Automation Audit conducted at the plant, it was found the kmV’s standard 2-camera iSight 20/20 Code Verifier offered a reliable and economical solution that would meet the 100% product inspection mandate.

The Code Verifier’s easy-to-use HMI makes changing 2D match strings a snap – which is important because label changes happen several times a day. The standard solution was also flexible enough to be deployed across every line in the plant – many running multiple-sized products daily. 

 Because the co-packer had limited resources, kmV also installed and validated the turnkey solutions.

Mandate Requirements Met

With the validated iSight 20/20 Code Verifiers in place, the co-packer has been able to meet their customer’s mandate of 100% label verification and will be able to do so in the future thanks to the solution’s flexibility.
