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.
Vendor-neutral guidance available • On-site or remote • Built for high-throughput production environments
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.
Line Audit & Requirements
On-site or remote evaluation of your current line, data sources, substrates, speeds, and compliance needs.
Solution Architecture
Define the best approach for primary/secondary packaging identification, including fail-safes and reject logic.
Equipment & Vendor Recommendations
Shortlist printers, print-and-apply, scanners/vision, conveyors, and accessories aligned to your environment.
Software & Network Integration
Connect variable data, ERP/WMS, barcode standards, and print validation—without breaking your workflow.
Operator Training
Hands-on training and documentation so your team can run, troubleshoot, and maintain the system confidently.
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.
Line walkthrough, data mapping, defect analysis, and constraints (space, washdown, speeds, materials).
System layout, verification approach, error-proofing, and integration plan for your environment.
Install support, acceptance testing, training, and launch stabilization to prevent “day one” chaos.
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.”
“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.
