 Are 99.9% read rates possible? It’s not out of the question! In fact, when food safety is on the line, you want systems in place to stop or reject product if the label or 2D bar code is incorrect in any way.

 At any point in the food and beverage industry supply chain—from processing to packaging to distribution—bar codes are essential for product quality and safety. **If these bar codes become damaged or worn along the way, customer safety and your brands reputation can be at risk.**

## **Use reliable, trusted hardware**

AbeTech has deployed hundreds of line verification solutions using Cognex Dataman Readers and our own Tevia Auto ID Controllers.

 DataMan readers pair well with Automated Inspection Systems, such as [AbeTech’s Tevia Auto ID Controller](https://www.abetech.com/Products/Automated-Labeling-System/Tevia-230-Auto-ID-Controller.aspx).  The small size and ability to read difficult codes at high speeds make DataMan readers flexible enough for any product verification system you may already have in place.
