Traceability is the backbone of product safety, recall readiness, and supply chain visibility. In industries like food, medical, pharmaceuticals, and cannabis, compliance is non-negotiable and consumer trust is hard-earned. As rules and regulations change and evolve, flexible, automated traceability systems are now essential.
At MFT Automation, we engineer labeling and serialization solutions that help your manufacturing operation meet the growing demand for traceability with precision, speed, and confidence.
Why Traceability Matters
Today’s supply chains are under a microscope. From source to shelf, products must be identifiable, verifiable, and traceable through every stage of the packaging and distribution process. Regulatory agencies are tightening standards while consumers expect transparency and accountability.
Whether you’re working in food safety, pharmaceuticals, or medical packaging, traceability supports:
- Rapid and accurate product recalls
- Inventory control and expiration management
- Authentication and anti-counterfeiting measures
- Regulatory reporting and compliance readiness
Automation ensures these processes aren’t just accurate–they’re scalable.
Traceability Across Industries: Different Needs, Same Mission
While the need for traceability is universal, the requirements vary depending on your industry:
- Food Industry: Must comply with FDA’s FSMA rules, trace ingredients, and ensure product recall precision.
- Pharma & Medical Packaging: Requires serialization, tamper-evidence, and compliance with DSCSA and cGMP standards.
- Cannabis: Demands strict seed-to-sale tracking with RFID and labeling to meet rapidly changing state and national regulations.
In all three sectors, the margin for error is razor-thin and the need for real-time, automated traceability solutions is rising.
Labeling + Serialization: Two Key Systems for Compliance
MFT Automation provides end-to-end labeling and serialization systems to help operations meet evolving standards across industries. These systems allow you to meet strict traceability requirements while optimizing production speed and minimizing risk.
Impresso Labeler Series
Our versatile print and apply label machine series is ideal for RFID and UPC labeling—two cornerstones of trackable packaging.
Benefits:
- Reliable application of RFID or barcode labels
- Seamless integration into packaging lines
- High-speed throughput with consistent label placement
- Compliant with evolving pharma packaging and cannabis regulations
Track and Trace System
This fully integrated system combines product feeding, printing, vision inspection, and reject mechanisms into one cohesive solution.
Benefits:
- Serialization coding for lot, batch, and unit-level tracking
- Inline vision verification to ensure coding accuracy
- Reject functionality to remove non-compliant products
- Ideal for medical packaging, pharmaceuticals, and high-scrutiny food production lines
Compliance Doesn’t Have to Be Complex
The regulatory landscape is only getting more demanding. But with the right automation, staying compliant doesn’t have to slow you down. MFT Automation’s systems are engineered for reliability, customization, and future scalability–whether you’re labeling ice cream pints or unit-dose medical vials.
From RFID-ready print and apply label machines to integrated Track and Trace systems, we can help you build transparency and compliance directly into your production lines.
