Industrial Automation
Rising concerns over food integrity are pushing manufacturers to strengthen food safety and traceability. As a global automation company, OMRON delivers industrial automation solutions that help food and beverage manufacturers reduce recall risks, comply with regulations, and protect brand trust across factory floors, packaging lines, and the automation warehouse.
Without reliable traceability, defective or counterfeit products can reach consumers, resulting in recalls, regulatory penalties, and long-term brand damage.
Food counterfeiting is a growing issue as supply chains become more global and complex. Automation solutions are essential for ensuring product authenticity and transparency.
OMRON provides industrial automation traceability systems that enable product-level tracking throughout the packaging process. Powered by the VHV5 High-Speed Code Reader, manufacturers can reliably read and verify 1D/2D codes on primary and secondary packaging—even at high line speeds or on challenging codes.
These automation solutions offer a robust traceability solution for inspecting, aggregating, managing and exchanging serialised data in the factory internal packaging process. By placing a serialized code on each product package, manufacturers can ensure the authenticity of products and provide all the necessary assurances to their consumers.
Packaging and labelling errors remain the leading cause of food recalls. Similar-looking packaging designs and manual checks increase the risk of incorrect labels, missing allergen information, or mismatched products—issues that can be life-threatening and brand-damaging.
Studies show that over half of consumers avoid brands associated with recalls, making prevention critical.
OMRON eliminates human error through factory automation and advanced vision systems. Using high-performance OMRON sensors and FH Series machine vision systems, manufacturers can automatically verify labels, packaging artwork, and print quality at high speed and high accuracy.
Designed for ease of use, these industrial automation products allow rapid deployment without specialist expertise—supporting fast, consistent, and reliable inspections across food packaging lines.
Traceability generates large volumes of operational data. When traditional systems struggle to process this data in real time, production speed and efficiency suffer—driving up costs and reducing output.
OMRON’s controllers are built for process automation and real-time traceability. Combined with the VHV5 High-Speed Code Reader, the NX1 controller enables real-time reading and verification of serialized, lot, and batch codes at full line speeds of up to 4,000 ppm.
This integrated approach supports high-speed packaging lines while collecting synchronized traceability data and performing motion control simultaneously helping manufacturers gain production insights, identify bottlenecks, and improve performance without slowing down operations.
OMRON combines industrial automation, smart sensing, and advanced control technologies to make traceability simple, scalable, and reliable. From factory floors to automation warehouse environments, our solutions help food and beverage manufacturers achieve real-time visibility, regulatory compliance, and consumer confidence.
With OMRON’s industrial automation solutions, traceability becomes a strategic advantage—not a production burden.
