Life Health Foods, UK - Label and date code verification
Life Health Foods (formerly Pioneer Foods) produce a range of breakfasts cereals for many of the UK’s leading retailers and brands. They manufacture around 280 SKUs from over 300 raw materials including numerous allergens.
“Without a doubt I would recommend OAL to other manufacturers. It gives us the sense we are doing everything we possibly can to mitigate risk. And yes sometimes there’s mistakes but this system is the fail-safe and it makes sure those mistakes don’t go outside of your business.”
Challenge
Like many food businesses, the site relied on paperwork and manual human inspection to verify the right date code and packaging is applied to their products.
Life Health Foods wanted a failsafe system to stop the risk of packaging errors entering the supply chain.
Solution
We installed our OAL Connected system across 5 packaging lines at Pioneer Foods. The solution was “a breath of fresh air” to Life Health Foods, scanning every date code before it leaves the facility and checking against the pre-programmed date to avoid errors and prevent product recalls.
“Planning, installation, training, support has been very, very easy.”
