Mettler-Toledo PCE has new Integrated Mark & Verify systems in its range. The systems help sectors such as the food industry to fulfil increasing product safety and compliance requirements. The systems facilitate the integration of code marking and verification capabilities into production lines to ensure seamless product tracking. Furthermore, the systems are suitable for protecting products against counterfeiting.

Mark & Verify systems enable the printing and verification of 1D and 2D codes and alphanumeric text such as those used for accurate identification of individual products (serialization) and those aggregated into containers such as cases or pallets (aggregation). In addition to these reference checks, integrated smart cameras allow for both presence and quality checks – verifying the presence of required labels and information, and that printing and labelling quality is high.

Market requirements across a large range of industries including food, require manufacturers to be able to track individual products throughout the production and supply chain, facilitating simpler and more targeted product recalls where necessary, and improving levels of product safety. The new Integrated Mark & Verify systems enable manufacturers to integrate these capabilities seamlessly into existing production lines with a minimum of disruption for installation.

The systems are T51 Integrated Mark & Verify and T61 Integrated 360 Mark & Verify. The former is suitable for inspection of oriented codes on products such as cartons, labels, cases and pallets. It is capable of throughputs up to 300 ppm. The latter is designed for the inspection of round products up to a maximum product height of 230 mm and widths from 6 to 110 mm.
