ERP integration to drive productivity and agility
Have you digitalized your production line yet?
Most producers have Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), but without them being connected to your production line, your brand cannot achieve the full benefits of ERP integration and end-to-end digitalization.
Connecting your ERP to your production line via software allows you to digitalize your entire operations, with the opportunity to achieve the following valuable capabilities:
- Full automated production order data transfer to the operations equipment and reduce nonproductive manual operations.
- Allow faster line startups and production changeovers and reduce slow manual data entry errors.
- An automated production line with improved Overall Equipment Effectiveness and increased throughput.
- Enhance your inventory management with instant visibility of finished products in the supply chain or real-time WIP.
- CoLOS-IT-OT Integrations into systems to support dynamic serialization, including dynamic codes for today’s regulatory compliance and standards e.g. GS1 Digital Link, US FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), EU Wine Regulations, government tax systems.
Markem-Imaje’s Packaging Intelligence software suite, CoLOS ®, including Pallet Track, is the only technology capable of all of the above. Today we already have connected more than 20,000 installed systems with connectivity to ERPs like SAP and Oracle, the principal MES and industrial automation systems.

“The Markem-Imaje solution proposed to Bioplants was interesting because we could choose the criteria we needed: Before that, we were using a labeler, so one consumable item was created every time we labeled a package. Today we use hot melt ink directly projected on the cardboard allows us to add traceability to the packages, which we did not have before.”“

“This (CoLOS) has allowed us to be much more efficient, reducing line equipment times and making it possible to implement new solutions such as automated metrics, fewer ink types, and less waste thanks to more ecological containers and less energy consumption.” “
