Together they're central to a serialization program that has given more than a billion packages a unique, traceable identity.https://img.packworld.com/mindful/pmmi/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/screenshot-2026-06-11-at-120655-am.4mHFoYvKzN.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Antares Vision Group calls it the trade-off triangle: 99% scanning accuracy, sub-second throughput, and consumer-grade hardware. Those three requirements that typically require picking two. The project delivered all three, finishing at 98.7% accuracy and a 0.55-second average scan time on Zebra devices.https://img.packworld.com/mindful/pmmi/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/screenshot-2026-06-11-at-120914-am.9lhEgHnpP5.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70The QR code on a Driscoll's clamshell connects every point in the journey, from the farm where it was harvested, to the store shelf, to a consumer's taste-and-rate survey, to actionable quality data.
