Auto ID and RFID tags to be exhibited at Packtech

Fairfield will exhibit a complete journey into the ‘Evolution of the code’ from numbers to 1D barcodes to 2D codes and evolving to RFID tags. Further to this, Fairfield will be showcasing various types of RFID tags, which will be read by live RFID readers. Interactive software will also be on display and delegates can try the technology for themselves.

An ‘end-of-line’ vision checker solution will also be demonstrated in an interactive environment. The solution ensures that every product leaving a factory is validated to ALWAYS display the correct barcode, text, label, or anything else required on the packaging. Customers can avoid Supermarket fines, product rejection and wastage.

Mark Lynch, Fairfield Managing Director commented: “Mistakes on packaging can be costly and this solution highlights various things such as if there are blank spaces where barcodes or text should be, illegible text, barcodes that fail, incorrect best before dates or batch numbers, and much more. It is also proven to eliminate simple common errors such as changeover mistakes, where the same product being packaged for several customers, accidentally contains the wrong label or the competitors’ information.”
