Food manufacturers are facing two major challenges: preparing packaging lines for GS1 Digital Link QR codes and reducing reliance on hard-to-recruit manual labour.

Visit OAL on Stand E80 to see practical solutions to both.

Will your QR code go beep at the till?

As Tesco moves towards GS1 Digital Link QR codes, manufacturers must ensure every code contains the correct data, achieves the required print grade and scans first time.

OAL will demonstrate the complete journey from production line to checkout and show how QR capability can be integrated into OAL Connected, the compliance platform already trusted on more than 2,000 production lines. OAL Connected is the first packaging verification platform to achieve GS1 UK Approved status.

Fenceless robotics built for food production

See OAL’s fenceless palletiser running at production speed, alongside a second cell demonstrating high-speed pick and place.

Designed for factories where conventional robotic cells are too large or inflexible, OAL’s fenceless technology delivers up to three times the speed of collaborative robots in a significantly smaller footprint.

Visitors can also experience a live AI vision demonstration for seal inspection, showing how every pack can be checked in real time to support quality standards and reduce manual inspection.

These technologies form part of OAL’s £5 million Innovate UK-backed programme to deploy more than 1,000 robotic systems across UK food manufacturing by 2030.
