Thermal printing is an extensively used and mature technology that is extremely reliable, but print issues can still occur when printing labels. Manufacturers depend on thermal printing for product identification, dosage information, voltage currents, use-by dates, batch information, model and serial numbers, to name a few. Billions of product identification labels are printed each year and the supply chain, downstream assembly processes, and consumers, are all dependent on the accuracy of the information printed.

By leveraging automatic label inspection technologies, you can inspect every label as it is printing and prevent critical labeling errors that can cost you time and money.  

 

Label quality issues can occur at any time 

 

There are numerous variations of label printing issues, at many different levels, that can arise at any time and slow down production, waste time, and cost money. 

 

At the printer level: 

 

 

At the network level, networks go down and power outages occur, jeopardizing the integrity of data and causing duplicate labels, ‘lost’ labels, and unnecessary or uncontrolled reprints.  

 

At the software level:  

 

 

Many labeling errors have the potential to cause issues in the production process. Manufacturing companies are quickly seeing how critical it is to adopt technologies that automate the inspection of labels at the time of print to ensure they can meet the rise in demands for speed, quality and compliance.  

 

Automatic label inspection prevents labeling errorsHow automatic label inspection technologies help with label compliance 

 

Inspection of labels is essential to adhere to contractual supply agreements and regulatory compliance requirements – one incorrect or defective label can lead to total delivery rejects and chargebacks, and at worst, can lead to foreclosure by regulatory authorities for repeated non-compliance.  

 

As anyone working in regulated industries knows, compliance requirements can be demanding and onerous. Compliance requirements such as those mandated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) include process control, strict batch reconciliation, user access control, and audit trail history. Compliance regulations also require that accurate and correct data is printed and recorded without duplicates, along with the correct market territory information.     

 

There have been so many advancements in integrations and software technologies to improve how to manage to compliance labeling.  

 

Benefits of real-time label inspection at the time of print 

 

Real-time automated label inspection technology can capture and quickly resolve all the complex myriad of issues outlined thus far.  

 

Automatic label inspection prevents labeling errorsInspecting labels does not just ensure print quality and data compliance, but it also: 

 

 

With innovative product solutions such as the Perceptor PTXL software with TSC Printronix Auto ID thermal printer and integrated ODV-2D camera, you now have real-time inspection of labels, with the ability to overstrike and destroy non-compliant, duplicate, or poorly printed defective labels….all at print speeds of up to 6” (150mm)/second.   

 

These barcode verification technologies, combined with TEKLYNX CODESOFT barcode label design and TEKLYNX LABEL ARCHIVE label security and traceability software, maximize the full barcode process of design, approval, security, control, print quality, barcode verification, real-time label inspection, and reporting/visibility.  

 

By design, Perceptor PTXL will hold the printing process to prevent unauthorized labels from being printed and when running, check printed labels in real-time for barcode verification, data and human readable content, print blemishes, duplicate labels, and ISO data content validation to UDI, GS1, and IUID for the medical device, pharmaceutical, life sciences, and aerospace & defense industries.    

 

With cloud-based technology, all devices can be networked globally for authorized users to share the same inspection templates and record data to one global database where performance metrics and Microsoft PowerBI can analyze large data to help drive further efficiency gains.  

 

With the adoption of automatic label inspection technology, increased processing power, improvements in OCR algorithms, faster IT infrastructure, and cloud-based solutions, manufacturers can more easily control the print process and avoid poorly printed, defective, or duplicate labels from being released into the supply chain, or risk of non-compliance in regulated markets.
