Finds faults

Verify, from Norprint, is an integrated in-line barcode verification system that removes errant barcodes automatically from the production process immediately they are printed.

The new solution checks every barcode label for print quality and missing text, verifying any combination of linear, matrix and stacked codes in any orientation with any number and mix of codes, to ensure that they comply with ISO Print Quality Standards. 

When an error is detected, Verify stops the printer, feeds the labels back into the machine and prints an obliteration pattern over the faulty label, stopping any inferior barcodes from progressing into the supply chain.  Results are shown on screen and an image of the faulty barcode is stored.  Verify also preserves the integrity of the serial numbers.

Incorporating the latest vision technology, Verify uses a high resolution camera system housed in a compact purpose-built unit that can be attached neatly in-line to the front of the Toshiba TEC B-SX range of thermal barcode printers.
