Why mislabelled products trigger costly recalls

Manual checks miss errors and can’t scale

Incorrect or missing labels cause non-compliance with retailer requirements

Undeclared allergens and incorrect date codes trigger recalls and regulatory action

Incorrect or poorly printed QR codes can result in full-batch recalls

Each recall leads to fines, logistics costs, brand damage, and lost listings

Manual inspection slows production and still misses errors at line speed

Legacy systems struggle with variable product orientation, driving late detection, rework, and scrap

Stop label errors before they leave your line

Vision AI that verifies every pack – automatically 

thingtrax’s Label Verification Agent uses vision AI and video cameras to inspect 100% of products, validating SKU accuracy, allergen declarations, date codes, and regulatory compliance in real-time. It prevents costly errors, protects your brand, and meets retailer standards automatically.

Features that deliver measurable impact

100% automated label inspection at line speed

Vision AI powered by IP-rated cameras inspects every pack at line speed. No manual checks. No sampling. No missed errors. Complete visibility into label accuracy across text, barcodes, logos, and graphics.

Compliance assurance – meets retailer and regulatory standards

Automatic verification of all predefined label elements ensures compliance with retailer requirements and evolving regulatory standards. Eliminate the guesswork; know every pack meets requirements before it reaches the retailer.

Remove manual label checks and reduce headcount

By eliminating manual label verification, manufacturers typically save £180k+ per year in labour costs (across 10 lines, 2 shifts) while freeing operators to focus on higher value work and removing reliance on specialist inspectors.

Reduce rework, waste and scrap

By catching labelling errors at source, before rework or disposal is required, manufacturers typically save £40k+ per year in rework costs, while reducing material, product and packaging waste and improving overall sustainability performance.

No line disruption. No maintenance

With a compact camera footprint, no moving parts and no mechanical wear, the system installs easily on existing labellers, packers and sealers, requires no maintenance from on-site engineers and runs continuously without disrupting the line

Live visibility; anywhere, anytime.

Live image capture and review, real-time plan attainment tracking and centrally accessible dashboards give teams shared visibility from anywhere, enabling faster, more confident decision and ensuring orders ship on time.

Seamless integration, minimal operator input

API and CSV integrations connect seamlessly with production plans, MES, ERP and quality systems, enabling automated data capture without spreadsheets or double entry.

High-risk error prevention – allergen and date code validation

Catches undeclared allergens, incorrect date codes, and missing information that create legal risk. Early detection prevents product recalls, regulatory penalties, and relationship damage with retailers.

Comprehensive compliance reporting

Extensive data storage aligned to retailer and BRC requirements. Centralized dashboard with live insights and full traceability. Every inspected pack is logged digitally, creating an audit trail for compliance verification and recall management.

Multi-use, scalable vision AI platform

Start with Label Verification and expand as need into Quality inspection, Line Efficiency/OEE and Defect Detection – all powered by one camera and one scalable platform supporting multiple use cases.

Fast ROI – avoid one recall and recover your investment

A single prevented recall (£600K–£2M savings) delivers ROI many times over. Add supply chain efficiency, reduced operator overhead, and eliminated manual re-checks – and your payback period is measured in months.

Improve quality product shipped to retailer

By ensuring every pack meets specification and every shipment meets expectations, consistent label quality strengthens retailer confidence and helps protect long-term contracts.
