Tracing fish specialties with mobile tagging
German frozen fish processor Femeg uses QR codes on its frozen-food packaging to provide the retail customer with extensive information about the origin and catching conditions of the fish via a smartphone app. In order to ensure that the QR code is also readable on the manufacturer’s fish packaging, the Lector620 Professional image-based code reader checks it during the packing process.
Traceability and intralogistical process reliability at Goedegebuur
In the packaging line of the meat processor Goedegebuur, based in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, code readers from SICK identify small 2D codes measuring 18 x 18 mm. As part of the intralogistical reorganisation of the packaging line, these codes were added to the labels in addition to the previous barcodes. Despite being mounted at a tricky angle, the Lector620 ECO still produces excellent reading results, providing an interface between the machines, transport components and the PLC on the one hand, and the warehouse management software and the order processing system on the other.
