Real-time visibility helps prevent stockouts, minimise overstocking, and improve overall inventory accuracy. 2D codes can be placed on products that need to be cleared from inventory, with dynamic pricing (decreasing as a product approaches expiry) incentivising customers to purchase quickly and thereby minimising waste.

The Domino range of lasers presents an unprecedented chance for beverage factories to achieve crisp codes directly on cans or bottles, coding as many as 100k products per hour or over 70k labels per hour. Cutting down on maintenance requirements and eliminating the necessity for fluids our lasers are prepared to consistently performs even in the sugary, moisture-rich backdrop of a beverage plant. Do you have any questions? Ask us!

One of our key solutions for beverage manufacturers is the Beverage Can Coding System, a comprehensive fiber laser coding solution tailored for your beverage production needs.  According to Pepsi Bottling Ventures’ Vice President of Engineering Sabri Kundakcioglu: "Quality, productivity and sustainability. These are the three reasons that we converted our can coding to a fiber laser. Line efficiency is improved, cost of production has been reduced and customer complaints about poor printing quality have been reduced."

Discover the U510 UV laser: 

The new U510 UV laser system is ideal for applying durable, highly accurate codes on recyclable, flexible mono-material polymers, including thin films, without affecting the packaging’s barrier properties. Coding is achieved via a photochemical reaction on the top layer of the packaging material – without causing physical or optical damage and without the need for laser-activating pigments/additives or specially prepared coding fields.

The compact, Industry 4.0-ready, all-in-one solution can help you prepare for tomorrow’s regulatory requirements and consumer demands.

Avoidable production waste and costly product recalls are large and unpredictable cost drivers for companies. But mistakes are unavoidable and can happen. Thanks to intelligent camera systems, however, labeling errors can be detected at an early stage and production quality can be maximized in the long term.

With the Domino R-Series vision system, you can inspect 1D barcodes, 2D DataMatrix codes, stacked or combined lot numbers for legibility, quality and correctness to ensure international labeling requirements and minimize rejects and product recalls. This ensures that every code that leaves your factory is present and correct, freeing up the operator for more important tasks.
