Overview
The beverage industry is growing worldwide with opportunities driven by new drink formats and changing consumer preferences. The sector has a variety of containers to code across many material types, often at high speeds. An ever-tightening regulatory and compliance framework demands traceability and fiscal marking.
Manufacturers are keen to maximize productivity and profitability through a reduction in rework and better use of resources, including greater line integration and even fully automated ‘dark factories’.
Picking the right technology for each application is therefore vital to minimize production and marketplace headaches.
