Product tracking is gradually becoming the standard

Marking and Checking in One Process

The absence of marking or its poor quality is a serious problem for manufacturers. This leads to dissatisfied customers, sanctions from state control bodies or retail chains.

The most advanced industry in the field of marking control is the pharmaceutical industry. Track & trace solutions for all stages of production and distribution are developed and implemented for it. These systems are complex, require significant investment and highly qualified personnel.

For other industries, KOENIG & BAUER has offered an inkjet printer with a built-in vision camera – the simplest and most affordable solution on the market.
