DIFFERENCE IN THE DETAIL LIGHTWEIGHT RIGIDITY The art of not falling flat on your face
The toucan (Ramphastos toco) has an enormous beak that accounts for about a third of its length but only a twentieth of its body mass.
espite their oversized bills, toucans don’t keel over. D Equipped with serrated edges that are perfect for tearing fruit, their beaks are surprisingly light and, thanks to a complex structure, extremely tough. Lightness and rigidity are two of the features common to the down- gauged cans our production lines are designed to make: thanks to the machine design, beading for extra strength and resilience is automatically integrated into the process. Making it possible for multiple layers of cans to be stacked without damage or danger of tumbling over. And that’s a face-saver, if ever there was one.

It doesn’t stop there – product recalls can also do long-term damage to brand reputation and relationships with consumers.
Protecting consumers In the food and beverage industry, product label- ling is of particular importance in ensuring the safety of the end consumer. In the United States, packaged food and bev- erage products are consumed by approximately 250 million people each day – when mislabelling occurs, it can pose a significant risk to consumers, as even a slight change in an ingredients list could lead to a product having undeclared allergens. Product labelling requirements, and standards for recalls, are set by the relevant government regulations in which a food or beverage product is sold. In the United States, this falls under the Food Allergen Labelling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 – which applies to the labelling of foods regulated by US Food and Drug Administration. In the EU this is dictated by the Food Information for Consumers Regulation (EU FIC): Regulation (EU) NO 1169/2011. In the UK, the EU FIC is

CT Introducing label templates, and so reducing the number of labels required to on production lines, not only makes it easier for manual workers involved in code selection, but it also makes it sig- nificantly easier to make changes to labels when legislation changes. The next step in error reduction is in estab- lishing good label management. With the simple application of IoT methodology, it is possible to integrate automated coding solutions to automat- ically populate labels information obtained from a production management system – this can further help to prevent mislabelled products arising from issues in label creation. Integrated label management solutions can be anything from a simple barcode scanner used to select data from a UPC or production order, to full integration with an existing MES or ERP system – enabling label creation directly from a centralised management system. Populated labels can then be automatically pushed through to a printer without any man- ual intervention, mitigating the risk of label- ling errors and helping to grow efficiency on production lines.
Validation and vision control The final step towards error-free coding is in establishing a validation system to ensure that all information on product labels is present, correct, and readable.
