What fails
The record is not there
The reader beeps. The box moves. The decode is not stored as a searchable production history with operator, timestamp, line, and what the camera saw.
Barcode
Every barcode. A searchable history.
A barcode station for regulated rooms. 1D and 2D codes on the line, reject when the code fails, and every decode written to a database your quality team can search when a recall hits. We build the station.
A barcode that will not scan is a code the reader cannot decode. A barcode that did scan is useless in a recall if that decode was never stored. The reader on the line can beep, send the box on, and leave quality with nothing to search for that lot, line, and time. The station rejects the failed code and writes every decode, pass or fail, to a database the plant can search.
The problem
The camera already reads. Quality still cannot search the history.
Plants already have barcode readers on the line. The read happens at the camera and stops there. When a recall hits, Quality cannot pull every decode for that lot, line, and window from one place.
What ships
The barcode station
Live camera, decode on the overlay, GOOD or FAIL, last-100 log, and a plant database of every product decode. Reject when the code fails.
The record
A database of every product decode.
The station is the audit trail for recalls. Quality searches the decodes for that lot, line, and window. The trail is attributable: who was on the station, when the read happened, and what the camera saw as the code.
The station is built so your quality team can plan validation against 21 CFR Part 11 electronic records, FSMA including 21 CFR 117, and FDA QMSR on that system.
On the floor
The station we stand up.
Shop photographs of the HMI, the panel, and the CAD. This is the station, not a named customer line.
The HMI
Live camera on the code, GOOD or FAIL, last-100 log. Every decode written to the plant database.
The panel
PLC, HMI, and field wiring in one cabinet. We build the panel with the station.
The mechanical
CAD of the inspection and robotics system in the shop. Frame, lighting, and path specified with the panel.
Questions
What plants ask.
What is the barcode station?
A barcode reading and traceability station for regulated manufacturing. It reads 1D and 2D codes, rejects product that fails the criteria, and stores every reading in a plant-level database. We build the station.
Why do plants still struggle in a recall if they already read barcodes?
The read is not kept as a complete, searchable production history. The station writes every decode, with timestamp, operator, line, facility, and custom fields, so Quality can answer where the product went.
What ships with the barcode station?
The HMI with live camera, decode overlay, GOOD or FAIL, and last-100 log. A plant database of every product decode. The panel, PLC, and mechanical path specified as one station.
