Markem-Imaje, the global provider of end-to-end supply chain solutions and industrial marking and coding systems, has provided a robust and state-of-the-art coding solution to Italian snack producer Fiorentini.
The Turin-based company Fiorentini has been guarding its proposal by handing down the secret of creating excellent products, carefully growing the impressive plant that founder Leonildo Fiorentini germinated back in 1918. Since then, four generations have made food their passion, and thanks to constant innovation and attention to the consumer, the company is now leader on the Italian market of crackers and healthy snacks.
“Today we are a modern and cutting-edge company, which is why we have chosen a partner capable of providing an equally modern and robust printing and coding solution,” says Luca Perri, Operations Director at Fiorentini. “Markem-Imaje is in fact the only player in the coding market to have offered us an integrated solution, complete with a proprietary software platform, coders of proven reliability and above all the knowledge of industrial environments, necessary to plan and complete this project.”
Fiorentini’s mission is to make a healthy and organic product tasty, appealing and within everyone’s reach. The company can meet the needs of a wide range of users, thanks to the production and sale of organic, dietary, intolerance-defying products and healthy snacks. All products, from the first to the last, are highly controlled and thanks to their high quality, have allowed the Fiorentini brand to establish itself both in Italy and abroad, finding remarkable success among consumers.
The regulatory controls range from raw materials to processes, and this is where Markem-Imaje’s expertise in the management of coding data comes into play, allowing the automatic sending of the right message to the correct packaging with respect to the item in production, all while ensuring prompt assistance when needed.
The CoLOS© solution works in a high-level environment by communicating in parallel with management and industrial automation programs, demonstrating great flexibility and real-time exchange capacity. The versatility and robustness of the CoLOS© software enables variable coding on each individual item according to the information exchanged with the management system managed by the factory’s automation supervisors. The newly installed, Markem-Imaje printing and data management solution, has helped Fiorentini improve their production efficiency and traceability.
“The Fiorentini project has now been operational for six years, and the fact that makes us deeply proud is to have provided a solution capable of working in a complex IT environment to manage a dynamic and extremely varied production data ecosystem,” affirms Guido Torriglia, Sales Area Manager for Markem-Imaje Italy. “We manage distinct types of coding, either directly onto the product packaging or by printing and applying labels on cartons and pallets. Fiorentini has most of our technologies in use, such as Smartdate© Thermal Transfer Overprinters, the 9400 series Continuous InkJet coding systems and the award-winning 2200 Series Print and Apply system, all masterfully and automatically managed by our CoLOS© production software.”
