You Wouldn’t Settle for Welding That Wouldn’t Hold Up Right, So Why Settle for Inefficient Part Marking?

Why do Welds Require Traceability Codes? 

Would you believe us if we told you that industries like welding and fabrication require traceability codes as well? While you might be more accustomed to seeing date codes, lot codes, and batch codes on perishable goods, they’re not exclusive to the food and beverage industry; in fact, every industry has their own regulations and specifications that have to be met to ensure the safety of their consumers. According to Weld Trace, “Weld mapping is the process of assigning information to a weld joint for the purpose of production as well as traceability…Weld mapping is also another term for weld tracking or welding traceability.” So, a weld map helps to ensure traceability, but what kind of information can you expect to find? 

Top 5 Reasons SNEED-JET® Thermal Inkjet Coders are Ideal for the Food Industry  

Did you know that you won’t be able to see your snacks, condiments, meals, and other food items on shelves unless they have the proper codes? You don’t have to spend an eternity peeling date code, lot code, batch code, barcode, and QR code stickers; there’s also no need to add information using spray paint and stencils or an ink pad and handstamp.

Here’s How Automation is Leading the Way to a More Skilled Workforce    

Why is it that anytime a workplace mentions automation, the workforce immediately goes into a state of frenzy; could it be because workers immediately jump to the conclusion that they’re getting replaced? Contrary to popular belief, automation is meant to help us with the heavy loads at work; it’s not meant to take over every single department and task. Think about it this way, would you rather have your workforce spend entire shifts canning, packaging, sealing, and doing the same repetitive tasks day in and day out, or would you rather place them in roles that have more opportunity for growth and productivity? Automation is not the scary monster everyone has made it out to be, so let’s take a better look at what’s happening behind the scenes.

Are Outdated Coding and Marking Practices Holding Back Your New or Small Business’ Production? 

Picture this, you’ve spent weeks, months, even years preparing to launch your own business; you’ve planned out every step of the process leading up to this day, but the real question is, have you thought about what comes next? What’s the plan for whenever production starts to ramp up, or whenever you start adding new product lines, or even when the possibility for expansion is on the horizon?

Here are 5 factors and options to consider before deciding on a packaging style

All Packaging Options are Not Created Equally

There’s nothing worse than waiting all day for your package to arrive, only for you to find the contents damaged, the box all banged up, or even some of the order missing; we’ve all been there, but what if there was a way to minimize those odds, from the very start? Having the right box would not only give you and your customers peace of mind, but it would also give the contents inside an extra level of protection. Just like we believe that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to coding, the same principle applies for packaging. 

Simple Farming and Coding; It’s What Makes the People Happy   

What is Hidden Stream Farm Known For? 

Nowadays, it would seem that the majority of food is genetically modified, grown around pesticides, or filled with preservatives, but Hidden Stream Farm has made it their mission to provide clean, healthy, pasture-raised livestock. Larger farms often use hormones to speed up an animal’s growth, to keep up with demand, but that’s not the case here. Hidden Stream Farm believes that, “healthy animals make healthy people,” and as a result they’ve dedicated their farm to producing chicken, beef, and pork with no chemicals, hormones, or antibiotics.
