The right label on every box
Stop wrong labels from reaching your customer. Labels are printed at packing and checked by a camera before the box is allowed to ship.
Labels are printed by hand, checked by eye, and a wrong label is found by the customer.
Built and tested in software, not yet proven on a plant line. Available to pilot plants.

- Read it backA Gorad Vision station reads the printed codes and text with a camera.
- Match: releaseWhat was read matches what was expected, so the box is released and the check is recorded.
- Mismatch: holdOn box 2 the label reads PN 4471-A, but 4471-B was expected. The box is held until the label is right.
