“ In January 2024 alone , the FDA issued 19 recalls for food products in the US , with 18 of them attributed to undeclared allergens due to labelling errors ,” says Adem Kulauzovic , Director of Automation , Domino . “ These figures highlight that printing and labelling inefficiencies are still very much present within a significant number of manufacturing facilities , despite recent advances in product coding automation .”
Recent industry reports support these findings , with Automate UK ’ s recent Industry Insights Survey 2024 finding that over 81 % of industry workers identified automation as their primary challenge for 2023 . The cost of adoption , lack of internal knowledge , and the inability to find the right suppliers stand out as some of the top barriers to adoption .
“ When it comes to adopting automation , designing a solution that integrates various technologies while managing relationships with multiple suppliers can be costly and complex , posing a challenge for many businesses ,” continues Kulauzovic . “ Our closed-loop solutions have been designed to offer all the benefits of automated product coding from a single trusted source , helping to reduce complexity and costs associated with lengthy project timelines . In addition , our flexible finance options – encompassing both subscription models and product leasing – mean businesses can upgrade without significant capital investment .”
