Code inspection does not end with simply reading a barcode or DataMatrix code.
In many packaging processes, it is also necessary to verify that the code, human-readable text, product variant, batch and product actually match.
This is precisely where critical errors can occur in practice:
The packaging looks correct.
The code is readable.
But the information belongs to the wrong product variant.
The consequences can be significantly more serious than those of an unreadable code:
- Incorrect batch information
- Compromised traceability
- Problems in automated logistics processes
- Additional inspection and sorting work
That is why OCTUM always considers code inspection in the context of the complete product marking.
Readability is important.
Correct assignment is essential.
