Global beverage and wellness manufacturer uses Matrox Imaging OCR software and vision controller to power critical production-line identification verification

Overview
One of the largest producers and distributors of beverages in Vietnam, Suntory PepsiCo has five manufacturing facilities nationwide, and a long history of successfully developing beverages for the Asia market.
A key aspect of food and beverage production involves the mandatory marking and verification of manufacturing (MFD) and expiration (EXP) dates and lot codes on the product packages. These codes are integral to identifying exactly where and when the product originated, and demand cost-effective systems that can report clear and reliable results to prevent packaging errors. As an added challenge, these lines often involve the scanning of multiple types of products simultaneously.
