Vesdo test labels help verify datamatrix reader systems

Switzerland's Vesdo Ltd has introduced a set of test labels that can be used to set up, test and validate datamatrix reading systems used on packaging lines.

Verification of the correct function of inline cameras is demanding, as the tests have to be made directly on the packaging line under real production conditions, according to Vesdo.

To help with this process it has now introduced a series of self-adhesive, single-use labels (pictured) which can be fixed to actual production cartons and can test the vision systems' ability to handle various grades of 2D datamatrix codes, as well as other defects such as an incorrect GTIN checksum or missing group separator.

Further details on the Compliance and Test Labels are available from Vesdo and its UK and Ireland agent Performance PharmaTech.
