Countless companies from outside the industry have switched to the production of urgently needed protective clothing or disinfectants. Printronix Auto ID ensures secure labelling.
Due to the strong demand, these products must be manufactured quickly and safely, but also the applicable ISO standards for labelling with barcodes.
This is where the tried and tested industrial ODV-2D barcode printing system from Printronix Auto ID. The global provider of high-performance industrial printers now has a printer solution in its portfolio that can be used to print 1D and 2D barcodes in compliance with standards and validate them immediately afterwards.
This means that only legible labels are put into circulation that can be clearly identified at every point in the supply chain. Manufacturers thus ensure that there are no delays due to illegible labels and that the products reach their destination without any problems.
Perfect barcodes ensure supply
Newcomers such as textile manufacturers, spirits producers or art processing companies that are sewing protective clothing, producing alcohol and disinfectants or using 3D printers to manufacture face shields for dental surgeries in the wake of the coronavirus crisis are having to switch to processes that are unfamiliar to them within a very short space of time.
Strict regulations apply to the pharmaceutical and medical products sector for good reason: pharmaceutical manufacturers, for example, must ensure that their products are safe to use, that the products can be identified and traced at every point in the supply chain. The ODV-2D printing and validation system from Printronix Auto ID generates a customised and detailed report on the printing process, with which the daily production of labels can be documented and saved in any database.
Automatic labelling and identification using barcodes or RFID labels is also mandatory. They contain all information relevant to shipping, such as product number, shipping date, destination, etc. This also applies to producers from outside the industry: The higher the regulatory requirements, the greater the need for high-quality label printing.
Especially in times when supply chains are disrupted, but at the same time the supply of important medical products is crucial, the use of printing and validation systems ensures the precise delivery of already scarce quantities of goods.
Expertise in automatic labelling of sensitive products
The ODV-2D printing system from Printronix Auto ID, which can also be used to print QR codes, includes a Thermal barcode printer with integrated validation system, which evaluates each barcode according to ISO standards. Barcodes that do not meet the specifications are overprinted with a pattern to make them unrecognisable and then reprinted. In this way, ODV-2D ensures that only barcodes that are 100 per cent legible enter the supply chain. Up to 50 barcodes per label can be validated in this way.
„With its enterprise printers, Printronix Auto ID has a great deal of experience in labelling technology for pharmaceutical, medical and chemical products, as well as for food and supplier parts for the automotive industry. Our expertise in highly regulated industries, combined with intelligent solutions such as the ODV-2D, helps manufacturers from outside the industry to find quick and practical solutions for their labelling requirements.“ T
