The solution developed enables Glanbia, whose famous butter brands include Kerrygold and Avonmore, to comply with a new customer requirement for full product traceability and the highest possible quality standards.
Currently all butter manufacturers in Ireland are required to assign every pallet of butter produced with a unique label combining information including the manufacturer, weight, lot number, pallet number and best before date.
Zetes is internationally recognised as an expert in the field of print and apply and was a natural choice of supplier. The company currently works with manufacturers from all sectors of industry to provide effective printing and labelling solutions, including advanced serialised labelling solutions for the pharmaceutical sector to combat counterfeiting.
Gerry Warren, store manager at Glanbia, said: “We were concerned that this new customer requirement would have an impact on our production costs and so looked for a solution that required minimal levels of human intervention. Our IT department initially recommended we work with Zetes as local specialists in automated identification and data capture.”
