From June 1, 2021, the requirements for mandatory marking on cheeses and ice cream will enter into force, from September 1 - dairy products with a shelf life of more than 40 days and from December 1 - products with a shelf life of 40 days and less.
According to the head of the Milk Commodity Group, Alexey Sidorov, the head of the development of promising technologies, the previously conducted experiment allowed us to develop technological solutions for all types of packaging, to include packing suppliers, test production throughout the chain.
"The experiment showed that the productivity of the lines at the production implementation stage does not change, the implementation of the labeling did not lead to an increase in the level of irrevocable marriage, and the scanning speed when retirement through the CCT in most cases remain equal to the speed of scanning a regular barcode. The CRPT operator provides various kinds of assistance to manufacturers, taking into account the existing experience to help start the project. In addition, on the website honest sign.
Deputy General Director for the Production of the Company "Bogorodsky Hladochombinat" Evgeny Avdeev notes that the company is practically ready for the implementation of labeling.
"Last year we decided on the production line. It was decided to apply the Data Matrix code to an existing packaging film using a block of thermotransfer printer on unwinding. Thus, we managed to use the existing remnants of the packaging material. The order and manufacture of equipment by the company integrator took 3 months. In addition, our plant conducted work on the modernization of computer networks of the enterprise. For example, for the L2 and L3 level (information exchange infrastructure between equipment. - Approx.) Created an autonomous network using optical communication lines, which made it possible to increase the data transfer rates and the reliability of production processes. Additional equipment has been purchased capable of processing and store large data arrays. It is worth noting that the installed equipment did not require considerable installation and configuration efforts. Thus, the entire chain was used: the order of signs and their receipt, loading into the printing system, verification when printing and entering goods in circulation. We are almost ready to introduce labeling, "Avdeev emphasized.
The chief specialist in the production and technological process of agromolcombine "Ryazan" Olga Pereverzeva notes that at present the company is prepared for the launch of lactation marking, conducts negotiations with suppliers of packaging materials, equipment and software.
"An experiment on three production lines of our company has been held from July to November 2020. In the process of it, two ways of applying the Data Matrix code on the package were tested: labeling and thermal transfer printing on the material when it is unlooked from the roll in the machine. Now we are at the stage of signing the protocols, "he added.
In turn, the director of the printing house "White" Nikolai Stepanov is confident that within the framework of the experiment of the labeling of dairy products, in the conditions of market adaptation, it is important to establish dense interaction between manufacturers and printing houses.
"We are ready to help manufacturers in developing design for any products, at the moment we have already ready typical solutions for applying codes for different types of packages. It is important to note that today we have prepared the "Plastishop" Internet playground, where you can read and order styles with codes of different forms for any kinds of products, including those who are being prepared for the launch of bottled water labeling. Such a platform significantly simplifies interaction with the manufacturer, and also accelerates the process of production, introduction and application of labeling for dairy products, "says Stepanov.
