What is Code Reading on Food and Beverages?
Reading codes and date lots on packaging against varying backgrounds
Consumer food and beverage products such as ice cream, beer, and other items distinguish themselves by case printing designs customized. Such products have a date, lot code, and other specific tracking codes printed on the cases that need to be read to manage the supply chain.
Unreadable codes lead to supply chain problems, incorrect deliveries, inadequate supplies of required products, and consumer dissatisfaction.
Why does reliability matter?
To reliably read the characters, conventional optical character recognition (OCR) must be programmed for each specific case background. As backgrounds proliferate and change more quickly this programming task imposes significant delays, as well as can lead to increased errors.
Our Data Pro custom series can be trained to read printed codes on challenging backgrounds. The system is easily set up and deployed thanks to a pre-trained font library. It then trains on a small set of images of text printed on a variety of backgrounds and can learn to identify text while ignoring background variations, even when text is presented on a newly introduced background that was not part of the original training set.
Food and beverage cases are reliably routed to the designated customers, regardless of changes in package design.
