UDI, multilingual OCR and rewinding for medical-device labels

Vathin needed more than random sampling to support EU and US UDI requirements, inspect multilingual text automatically and retain an efficient auto-rewinding workflow.

What the production team needed to control

01

Random sampling could not account for every exported UDI label.

02

Multilingual visible text was difficult to verify consistently by manual inspection.

03

Automatic rewinding was required to maintain production efficiency and reduce operator handling.

BLC UDI label inspection and rewinding on Zebra ZT610
Implemented solution

BLC B-ZT6166 with Zebra ZT610

Vathin selected BLC B-ZT6166 integrated with Zebra ZT610. The configuration combines UDI barcode decoding, multilingual OCR inspection and automatic label rewinding.

UDI decoding

Application Identifiers in GS1 labels can be decoded together with barcode inspection rules.

Multilingual OCR

Defined visible text fields can be recognised and checked across required languages.

Automatic rewinding

The integrated label path retains rewinding while inspection remains active.

Reported outcome

What changed after implementation

  • Every label could be inspected before products were prepared for export.
  • UDI carrier data and multilingual visible text were checked in one system.
  • Automatic rewinding reduced the need for manual roll handling on the production floor.
The project connected UDI data verification, multilingual OCR and label handling in one printer-integrated workflow.
