Date and Lot Code Inspection
Meet label requirements and ensure consumer safety
Date and lot codes, batch codes, and expiration dates are required on food and beverage products to identify when and where a product was made. Items are marked with these codes early in the production process for quality control and also traceability. These codes often combine 1D symbology’s and plain text to encode information about the batch and manufacturing date. Also, optical character verification (OCV) is used for reliable process control, helping manufacturers meet labeling requirements and ensure consumer safety. Quality inspections must verify that the codes are present and printed correctly to ensure traceability and more easily manage product recalls.
Omron technology can help with date and lot code inspection. They can detect the presence or absence of date and lot codes and also verify that its chain of numbers and letters is correct.
For challenging OCV including laser-engraved, dot peen, or chemically etched DPM text, we can look at custom systems for you. Our tools can look at if codes are accurately read and verified. These tools decipher deformed, skewed, and also poorly etched characters using optical character verification (OCV). Furthermore, the pre-trained, omni-font library identifies most text without additional programming or font training
