Marco will be among more than 120 companies present at the show

Packhouse profitability experts Marco are using this year’s Fruit Focus show to launch their new Production Control Module (PCM), specifically designed to eliminate errors in the printing and labelling of packed product.

According to the firm, Rapid line changes in fruit packhouses can be a nightmare, especially when trying to ensure the correct labels and date codes are available at the line.

Packers are only too aware of the costs associated with incorrectly labelled product leaving the packhouse, which can be significant and very damaging to their reputation and brand.

Marco’s PCM overcomes these problems by co-ordinating the set up of printers and scanners from a central location. Any labels brought from the print room for a particular run are automatically checked before they go on the line.

Marco’s managing director Murray Hilborne is confident Fruit Focus is the right platform to launch this latest innovation:

He said: “Fruit Focus is always a fantastic opportunity to meet with new and existing customers away from the packhouse, making this show the ideal platform to introduce innovative solutions for soft fruit packers. The adoption of our latest Production Control Module is already in progress within the soft fruit industry and we are confident that this module will be of great benefit and interest to show visitors.”

Fruit Focus takes place on 21 July at East Malling Research in Kent.
