Best before date presence verification

The best before date is a piece of information written on all the packaged perishable foods and it points out the date past which a product is not suitable for consumption any more. Typically, ink-jet printers are used to write the best before date on the food items since they represent a mature and reliable technology. Nevertheless, ink-jet printing comes with some issues (e.g. low contrast, missing characters). Datalogic Automation vision sensors verify the best before date presence on packages by using an edge count tool. This kind of control guarantees high flexibility as well as excellent reliability.
