Automation has the ability to quickly introduce and expand life-saving products into society. However, some companies are faced with strict regulations while producing these products safely, efficiently, and accurately. One way pharmaceutical packaging companies combat this feat is by utilizing automation to apply UDI barcodes or Unique Device Identification codes on products.
In 2019, there were 337 expensive food recalls issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA FSIS). Many of these recalls were due to undeclared allergens, foreign objects, or contaminates such as Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli (source). Oftentimes, these recalls could have been prevented by storing the food product properly and cleaning the equipment — such as a label applicator machine — appropriately.

This is where automation equipment can be a resource; such as labeling machines and label applicators.
