We help you optimize your packaging line efficiency, the easy way
Our solution
Faced with demands to enable greater supply chain transparency for your customers, you need to ensure your coding is correct, compliant and cost-effective. Managing many message layouts and sending these to diverse printer types across multiple packaging lines can be time-consuming and prone to error. You need to optimize your packaging line data and information processing. Or, better still, you need an intelligent solution that does it all for you − quickly, accurately and economically.
Our Line & Data Management solution, part of the Packaging Intelligence offer, provides seamless manual and automated data and information processing, marking and coding for improved efficiency across all your packaging lines. Leveraging our market-leading information management system, CoLOS®, this solution minimizes human error and costs while accelerating changeovers and increasing uptime. It helps ensure product compliance and easily integrates with the rest of our best-in-class equipment, as well as third-party information systems* and hardware.
*For example, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning Systems), MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), WMS (Warehouse Management Systems).

Xavier Bossard – Operations, Digital and Logistics Project Manager at Bioplants @ Bioplants
“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.”“
