Food, beverage, pharma and consumer packaged goods move through the manufacturing process under the watchful eyes of Datalogic vision systems and sensors. Datalogic technology detects object presence, safeguards workers with light curtains, assures product quality with vision sensors, and identifies items using laser marking. Food and product safety are assured by fixed industrial and handheld bar code readers, scanners, and mobile computers that track items through the manufacturing process and on to distribution.
