Labelling solution guarantees traceability and compliance while streamlining warehouse management
Guaranteeing traceability is essential in today’s strictly regulated food industry. Which is why the world’s leading breakfast cereal producer, Kellogg Manufacturing called on Zetes for a fully automated, efficient labelling solution to minimise its compliance risks.
Turnkey solution ensures full regulatory compliance
Kellogg’s Valls production facility in Tarragona, Spain is now fully equipped with Zetes’ state-of-the-art print & apply systems. The integrated system ensures that all pallets are clearly identifiable from both the side and front as per the EU’s GS1-128 standard. More importantly, it automates the entire process for fast, accurate and efficient labelling.
Integrated process
- Individual boxes are scanned before they reach the baling zone by fixed scanners
- All product information is then recorded in the printer-applicator system
- Pallet labels are automatically printed and applied to the side and front of the pallet
- All labels are verified for legibility by a reader integrated into the applicator arm
Long-term added value
The implemented solution not only guarantees compliance today but is flexible enough to accommodate new demands and new standards in the future. Improved traceability has also resulted in more efficient and effective warehouse management, higher productivity and improved customer service.
