Schering-Plough hits quality goal with Nutec/Wolke system

When Schering-Plough expanded its packaging capacity for Claritin allergy medication it had three key criteria for putting codes on the cartons:

• Lot and expiration date codes had to be clear and crisp.
• They had to allow inspection by a machine vision system.
• The equipment to do that had to be installed with a minimum of complication and run with a minimum of maintenance.
