“The Videojet printers easily integrate with our processes because they are durable, reliable and easy to use, even when we run them 24 hours per day, up to six days per week.”
Bob Manzer – Plant Manager, Kettle Foods (case study)
“Crisp, clear codes are important to both our company and our distributors for tracking and tracing, warehousing and inventory, reordering, billing, and order fulfillment. It’s all interrelated. Today, that’s how companies identify the product, store it, inventory, pick and verify orders, ship and bill. Clear codes set the tone for the entire supply chain process.”
Jim Trivelis – President, The Original Philadelphia Cheesesteak Co. (case study)
“The automatic micro-purge system is really quite ingenious: no more non-productive downtime for cleaning!”
