Three-Step Verification for Lean Product Labelling

Product traceability is a growing concern in industries from medical device manufacturing to consumer packaged goods. It is no longer sufficient for a manufacturer to produce high-quality products to ensure good standing with their customers and avoid rejects, fines, or recalls. Today, these costs are regularly incurred by the simple absence, inaccuracy, or illegibility of product data. Label verification systems can be implemented to safe-guard against these issues, but even misuse or misplacement of a verification system can cause loss in time and materials within internal operations. A systematic approach to label verification should be observed for the leanest labeling processes, with verification implemented at three critical steps during manufacturing.
