Inline Barcode Validation
Inline barcode validation is used to check that printed barcodes are present and readable as products move through the labelling process. ILS provides barcode scanning systems that integrate with print and apply labelling systems, helping identify coding or labelling errors before products leave the line. Speak to our team to discuss inline barcode validation for your labelling operation.
Barcode Scanning Solutions for Inline Validation
ILS supplies a range of barcode scanners designed to complement print and apply labelling systems. These solutions support inspection and verification at the point of application, reducing the risk of unreadable or incorrect labels entering the supply chain.
Fixed Position Scanners (FPS)
Fixed position scanners are integrated directly with print and apply systems and are triggered for each label application. As a case or pack passes through the scan area, the scanner attempts to read the barcode immediately after application.
If a barcode is missing or unreadable, the system can activate an alarm or trigger a response such as stopping the conveyor, allowing issues to be addressed at the point they occur.
Handheld Barcode Scanners
Hand-held barcode scanners are used for tasks such as print-job selection and manual verification within labelling operations.
These industrial units provide a practical option where operator interaction is required alongside automated processes.
Ensuring Barcode Accuracy Before Products Leave the Line
Unreadable or incorrect barcodes can result in rework, scrapped products or non-compliant shipments. Inline barcode validation allows issues to be identified immediately, reducing disruption further downstream.
By verifying each code at the point of application, barcode scanning systems help ensure the correct label is applied to the correct product first time.
ILS supports customers by integrating barcode scanners with existing labelling systems and configuring validation checks to suit operational requirements.
Barcode Types and Scanning Capability
ILS supplies Datalogic barcode scanners capable of reading one-dimensional and two-dimensional barcodes used across manufacturing, warehousing and logistics environments. These scanners are designed for reliable operation in industrial settings where speed and accuracy are required.

Label Printers
Label printers generate the printed barcode and label data that barcode scanners verify during the labelling process.
Label Applicators
Label applicators work alongside industrial label printers to apply labels accurately as part of a print and apply system. ILS offers a range of applicators to suit different label positions, surfaces and production requirements.
