Traceability and aggregation

 

Faced with demands to facilitate greater supply chain transparency for your customers, you need to ensure your coding is correct, compliant, and cost-effective. And, to protect your brand from counterfeiting and quality-related issues, you need to be able to track every single product coming off your production line. Or better still, you need an intelligent solution that does it for you.

 

Traceability Solutions by Markem-Imaje

 

Markem-Imaje's solution

 

Our Product Tracking solution, part of the Packaging Intelligence offer, creates unique product fingerprints that make individual products seamlessly trackable, delivering data reliability and safety for distributors, resellers, and users. It can also aggregate product unit coding data to a case or pallet level, so you can scan and track output at every packaging level to ensure full product compliance. Leveraging our market-leading information management system, CoLOS®, it seamlessly integrates with the rest of our best-in-class equipment, as well as third-party information systems* and hardware.

Mixing and matching traceability tools from different vendors can be overwhelming and costly. We provide a single, simple solution for generating, managing, and reporting product data in a diverse supply chain ecosystem. Our track-and-trace solution makes it easy to create a compliant system of record for your products in changing regulatory environments.

Bioplants Hot Melt Coding Cardboard Markem-Imaje
Xavier Bossard – Operations, Digital and Logistics Project Manager at Bioplants @ Bioplants

5-stars-yellow-size120x26
“The Markem-Imaje solution proposed to Bioplants was interesting because we could choose the criteria we needed: Before that, we were using a labeler, so one consumable item was created every time we labeled a package. Today we use hot melt ink directly projected on the cardboard allows us to add traceability to the packages, which we did not have before.”
