Rob Wienhoff • Industrial Coding & Packaging Automation Consulting

Get coding, labeling, and verification right—without slowing the line.

I help manufacturers improve industrial coding, marking, labeling, vision verification, and secondary packaging— from line audits and vendor selection to integration, operator training, and support.

Consulting Services

I approach coding and labeling like a system, not a device. Get a clear plan, the right equipment, and the integration details that prevent downtime.

Assessment

Line Audit & Requirements

On-site or remote evaluation of your current line, data sources, substrates, speeds, and compliance needs.

Design

Solution Architecture

Define the best approach for primary/secondary packaging identification, including fail-safes and reject logic.

Selection

Equipment & Vendor Recommendations

Shortlist printers, print-and-apply, scanners/vision, conveyors, and accessories aligned to your environment.

Integration

Software & Network Integration

Connect variable data, ERP/WMS, barcode standards, and print validation—without breaking your workflow.

Enablement

Operator Training

Hands-on training and documentation so your team can run, troubleshoot, and maintain the system confidently.

Ongoing

Support & Optimization

Optional 24/7 support model, spare parts planning, and continuous improvement based on downtime and defect data.

Solutions I Deliver

Built around real production constraints: line speed, wipe-down requirements, label adhesion, scan rates, and consistent print quality.

Primary Packaging Identification

Product-level coding/marking strategy: readable, durable, and consistent—supporting traceability and recalls.

Secondary Packaging (Cases/Cartons)

Case coding and labeling designed for logistics workflows, scanning reliability, and compliance requirements.

Print-and-Apply Automation

Integrated tamp/blow/wipe configurations, dual-side labeling, and line-fit mounting to reduce manual labor.

Vision & Verification

Barcode/label verification systems to prevent mislabels, validate print quality, and trigger reject stations.

End-of-Line Automation

Conveyors, case sealing, fume extraction, scanners, label rewinders, and palletizing considerations.

Labels & Graphics Workflows

Label materials, adhesives, and formats for harsh environments plus large-format graphics planning.

My Process

A practical path from “we have problems” to a stable, validated system your team can run.

1
Discover

Line walkthrough, data mapping, defect analysis, and constraints (space, washdown, speeds, materials).

2
Design

System layout, verification approach, error-proofing, and integration plan for your environment.

3
Deploy

Install support, acceptance testing, training, and launch stabilization to prevent “day one” chaos.

4
Improve

Ongoing optimization using uptime, scan rates, consumables usage, and changeover performance.

Typical Outcomes

Replace rework, mislabels, and slow changeovers with measurable, durable gains.

“After implementing verification + reject logic, we reduced mislabeled cases and stopped shipping errors. Operators finally trust the line.”

Operations Manager
Food & Beverage Packaging

“The line audit uncovered the real constraint: label adhesion and inconsistent print quality at speed. The redesigned system improved scan rates and reduced downtime.”

Request a Consultation

Tell me what you’re running and where it hurts (scan failures, mislabels, throughput, changeovers, downtime). I’ll recommend the next best step.

Fast path: 20-minute intake

I’ll confirm your line speed, substrates, environment (washdown/dust), data source, and required label/coding standards, then recommend a plan.

What to have ready

Photos of the line, a rough layout (infeed → print/apply → verify → case seal → pallet), target throughput, current equipment list, and 3–5 examples of failed labels/codes if available.
