Anirudha Katekar, Director-Sales (India), Optel Group, began his presentation with a brief about his company and its track-and-trace solutions. He informed that globally, the company has over 23 per cent market share. Later, he spoke about track-and-trace demonstration cartons – carton serialisation with CartonTracker – which comprises a precise ejection system, speed of up to 400 cartons per minute and manual carton aggregation station.
He then mentioned about the multiple-layer aggregation, wherein at one of the stages, a camera (a part of the product) automatically captures the codes and the case (cartons associated to case) label. “A label can be applied with a zebra printer, or an operator can manually apply the same,” he stated.
