Domino Printing Sciences’ automated verification solution minimises the risk of  mistakes

Domino Printing Sciences’ new automated product printing and label verification solutions can help manufacturers reduce the risk of costly product labelling errors.

Domino’s latest solutions include advanced coding automation software that removes the need for manual intervention and integrated machine vision to check the accuracy of every printed code.

As legislation surrounding the labelling of consumer products becomes stricter, ensuring efficiency and accuracy in product identification operations has never been more important, but product printing errors due to inefficient processes and overreliance on human labour continue to be a significant issue.

“In January 2024 alone, the FDA issued 19 recalls for food products in the US, with 18 of them attributed to undeclared allergens due to labelling errors,” says Adem Kulauzovic, director of automation, Domino. “These figures highlight that printing and labelling inefficiencies are still very much present within a significant number of manufacturing facilities, despite recent advances in product coding automation.”

Recent industry reports support these findings, with Automate UK’s recent Industry Insights Survey 2024 finding that over 81% of industry workers identified automation as their primary challenge for 2023. The cost of adoption, lack of internal knowledge, and the inability to find the right suppliers stand out as some of the top barriers to adoption.

“When it comes to adopting automation, designing a solution that integrates various technologies while managing relationships with multiple suppliers can be costly and complex, posing a challenge for many businesses,” continues Kulauzovic. “Our closed-loop solutions have been designed to offer all the benefits of automated product coding from a single trusted source, helping to reduce complexity and costs associated with lengthy project timelines. In addition, our flexible finance options – encompassing both subscription models and product leasing – mean businesses can upgrade without significant capital investment.”

As part of Domino’s extended customer testing, end-to-end product printing and label verification solutions were delivered to a number of sites across Domino’s existing customer base. The ease of integrating a complete solution from a single provider received significant positive feedback.

“The market has told us that cost and complexity are huge factors preventing manufacturers from adopting automation – we are here to tell you that coding automation doesn’t need to be costly or complex,” says Tony McNulty, chief product officer, Domino. “Our end-to-end solutions are designed so manufacturers can easily automate their product labelling, reducing the risk of errors, without the hassle of managing multiple vendors or conflicting technologies.”
