Whether shipping within the UK or in international markets, regulations such as EC Regulation 178/2002 require food and beverage manufacturers to clearly label and accurately trace products throughout the supply chain.
From production right through to the supermarket shelves, the ability to trace your products is essential in the event of a product recall.
Manual barcode labelling operations are extremely limited in scalability, offer little opportunity for process improvement and are highly susceptible to human error.
Mistakes in barcode labelling could have dangerous consequences for accurate traceability and may prove costly for your business relationships and your bottom line. Supermarkets can institute fines for illegible or incorrect coding, and some even operate a three strikes approach: three separate deliveries with errors and you could never supply that supermarket again.
Not only do you need a barcode, but it needs to be accurate, and it needs to be right.
Aside from legislation and commercial relationships driving compliant barcode labelling, there are obvious gains to be made in terms of reduced manual intervention too. Relying on human resources for functions that can be readily automated will often cost more in the long run and barcode labelling is a prime example of that.
