Solutions for production batch coding and traceability
Automated batch number management and printing in production
The production batch number is a fundamental traceability element in any industry. It allows tracing back to raw materials, process parameters, and the commercial destination of each individual production run. Its correct printing on every product unit or packaging is legally mandatory in many sectors, including food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and medical devices, and is highly recommended in all others. Modern marking systems automatically receive the batch number from the ERP or MES system, eliminating manual entry and the associated risk of error. See our solutions for production and expiry dates.
Batch Traceability and Recall Management
Effective batch number management allows for quickly defining the scope of a potential recall, limiting the quantities of product to be withdrawn and the associated costs. The correlation between production batch, raw materials used, process parameters, and distribution channel must be managed by an integrated IT system. Marking systems contribute to traceability by providing verified and readable data at every point in the chain. Automatic verification of the printed batch using in-line readers ensures that every product carries the correct code. Learn more about our Track and Trace solutions for end-to-end traceability.
