A major North American food production and distribution company recently sought a reliable solution for easily identifying the contents of each product at its canned foods plant. The company recognized that its product containers must accurately represent what is inside, as mislabeled packaging creates serious liabilities. Incorrectly labeled food and beverage products may result in adverse reactions due to allergies and other health issues, and the liability associated with such occurrences is immense.

More specifically, the company needed a solution that would eliminate packaging errors resulting from a slight misalignment between the canning process and the packaging line. In some instances, the products were canned and subsequently placed on pallets, which would then be organized into larger pallets and stored before being loaded onto a labeling line and prepared for shipping. The cans were completely sealed, so the only means of identifying their contents was a three-character alphanumeric code printed on the top of each can.
