Automation Q&A

Asked January 22nd, 2010
There are a number of variables that make a definitive answer difficult. For a complete response, we need more information on process flow and your equipment and capacities. However, here is a qualified response.
First, identify the blister(s) after introduction into the cartoner (just prior to loading). Then, print an identification on the carton based upon the blister/blisters (we frequently use a 2-D bar code on the end flap of the carton). Finally, load the cartons into the case, read, and identify all bar codes (print and apply a label that is applied to the case that contains the carton identifications). The application will dictate what is printed (the identifier for each carton or a “License Plate” tag for the case).
