Food Manufacturing
A contract manufacturer—serving a major food brand—needed to meet a vendor compliance mandate requiring case-level 2D barcode validation. Every label had to be readable and accurate, and if not, the system needed to stop the line or redirect the product before it reached the pallet.
The stakes were high. With multiple lines running at scale, any downtime meant lost revenue. They couldn’t afford a drawn-out installation or a solution that would force them to rebuild existing workflows. What they needed was simple: a fast, reliable way to validate every case—without slowing anything down.
Our engineering team designed an automated label verification system that fit the client's infrastructure and compliance needs. The system supported multi-sided scanning, real-time barcode validation, and automated exception handling. It integrated with their existing line control logic to trigger a reject mechanism or line stop if a label was missing, unreadable, or incorrect.
Deployment was fast and non-disruptive. Each line took less than a day to install, with only one line down at a time. There were zero missed production goals. Most operators were up and running with minimal training, thanks to the intuitive touchscreen interface.
The impact was immediate. Labeling accuracy reached 99.9%, and the production team no longer had to worry about compliance penalties or manual checks. Every case met the vendor’s labeling requirements before it left the line.
By delivering a scalable, audit-ready solution tailored to their packaging environment, the client stayed in good standing with their customer—without sacrificing speed, labor, or control.
“We had a tight compliance deadline, and AbeTech made it happen. Their team got the system installed and validated without disrupting our production. Our team picked it up fast, and we’ve had zero compliance issues since.”
