Easy-to-use vision system with pre-trained AI for solving basic to intermediate-level processing tasks.
Smart traceability for a safer food supply chain
Every day, food and beverage manufacturers face increasing pressure to meet performance benchmarks, regulatory requirements, and consumer expectations. Beyond quality and production capacity, they have to ensure accurate tracking across warehousing and fulfillment operations, with many products requiring temperature-controlled storage and distribution to preserve food safety.
Traditional traceability methods – manual logs, basic scanners, or limited 1D barcodes – struggle in this fast-paced environment due to damaged codes, limited data capacity, and a lack of full visibility. Advanced barcode scanning solutions solve these issues with unmatched accuracy and reliability, ensuring safety and end-to-end traceability across the food supply chain.
Safeguard food and beverage quality, accelerate fulfillment, ensure compliance
Image-based barcode reading, complemented by AI-powered optical character recognition (OCR), brings industry-leading read rates to ensure efficient tracking. From QR codes and lot numbers to serial IDs, Cognex readers capture and convert rich data, whether encoded in 2D data matrix codes or printed directly on packaging, into digital records that follow each product from raw ingredients to final delivery.
By providing real-time traceability, Cognex helps food and beverage manufacturers to directly address critical operational challenges like accurate labeling, product integrity, and regulatory compliance.
- Robust decoding: reliably read low contrast, printed or stamped codes on labels, caps, or cases.
- Shelf-life visibility: instantly verify date codes and expiration info to preserve freshness and safety.
- Supply chain transparency: ensure products of all sizes and shapes are correctly stored, sorted, and shipped.
- Recall readiness: quickly identify and locate products.
Cognex systems reliably read barcodes and text printed on flexible packaging at challenging angles.
Track products and shipments through every stage of the food supply chain.
