Cosmetics Track & Trace
Track & Trace to identify and address challenges and protect public health.
Fake cosmetic products can obviously pose high health risks due to the nature of application. Now, the guarantee of product origin is fast becoming a consumer priority and basis of purchase as it provides a deeper insight and promotes product safety.
Traceability is a risk-management tool which allows beverage industry operators and authorities to withdraw or recall products which have been identified as unsafe.
The big challenge today is to enter a new paradigm where the key word is serialization, which means tracking every product thus creating an “identity card” for every single unit.
Antares Vision provides the beverage industry with its expertise and technological know-how from other industries, that can now be applied to beverage products.
OUR TECHNOLOGY,
YOUR SAFETY
We offer transparency of the supply chain and warranty of raw material origins as a complete service, composed of both hardware and software solutions. Our traceability from manufacturers right until final users combines an interconnected set of data allowing the complete transparency of your products.
SERIALIZATION & AGGREGATION
Antares Vision offers a wide range of models and options to cover all different product and line requirements.
We have an extensive portfolio, designed and produced by our internal Research & Development team, established by our customer partnerships and validated by our proven field of experience.
THE EARLY STAGE
OF TRACK & TRACE
Antares Vision provides a set of practical and economical manual solutions to initiate your first steps in serialization.
A unique serial number is managed on each saleable unit package, which allows identification across the production and supply chain as well as regulatory agencies.
KEY FEATURES:
Our standard serialization package can operate with both Thermal Inkjet and Thermal Transfer printing technologies. It is possible to print directly on the side of the cartons or on the reel.
This solution is the most convenient for small lot serialization and the most practical for XXL formats.
TAILORED SOLUTIONS DEVELOPED TO SATISFY HIGH DEMANDING NEEDS.
Choosing Antares Vision ensures the full compliance with all current worldwide anti-falsified regulations. Our serialization solutions ensure the world’s most comprehensive, reliable and widespread serialization platform.
The AV PRINT & CHECK Technology prints unique serial numbers directly onto packaging or packaging labels. These serial numbers are then verified, gathered and managed at different levels (line, plant, warehouse, corporate and authorities).

BOTTLES,
AND MUCH
MORE.
For wider opportunities of serialization, you can use the AV Automatic serialization for bottle format, rounded packaging and unconventional shapes. The unique serial number is printed on the product surface and is readable by a special camera architecture which covers the entire surface of each product package.
By checking and reading the code further, it ensures a serialized “dummy code” is printed underneath the bottle and associated to the previous serial code.
The non-conforming bottles are rejected by an air-blow/ mechanical system. In this way the process of aggregation could be easily managed for bottles, rounded packaging and unconventional shapes.
It is possible to integrate this system with other control checks: OCR/OCV, lot and expiry date, logo and printing correctness.
FEATURES:
The four cameras are positioned 90 degrees apart to recognize the 2D code on the unoriented bottle. Four individual images are then captured as the product passes through the inspection module.
The complete integrity of all serial number data is guaranteed and monitored in real-time.
DON’T HESITATE, AGGREGATE!
Aggregation is the combination of serialized single products packaged together on different levels and identified by unique serial numbers. The process of creating these packages optimizes product traceability which makes it safer, easier and faster, due to a higher comprehension of the contents within. Aggregation can be implemented on any existing production lines.

Aggregation is the combination of serialized single products packaged together on different levels and identified by unique serial numbers. The process of creating these packages optimizes product traceability which makes it safer, easier and faster, due to a higher comprehension of the contents within. Aggregation can be implemented on any existing production lines.
The concept of aggregation is best explained with the use of this familiar hierarchy concept:
- Single serialized products are referred to as “children” and are packaged together into a bundle, which is also known as the “parent”.
When this package is then put together with other bundles, they are then referred to as the “child” and packaged into a case “parent”.
- This process can then develop from case to pallet.
- Each level of aggregation is given a unique serial number, which when scanned, provides details of all the serials within the entire package.
KEY FEATURES:
OPTIMIZE YOUR LOGISTIC OPERATIONS
We anticipate and understand the growing demands of your logistic operations. By implementing aggregation, your logistics can quickly comprehend package contents without dissembling them, therefore saving vast amounts of time which will increase overall productivity. Aggregating will also ensure product is not stored over its expiry date, thus minimizing wastage.
TAKE CARE ABOUT YOUR OEE
The aggregation implementation process is delicate and demands the care of true expertise, could ensure minimal impact for your production OEE. Improving the full end to end traceability on your production lines with aggregation will benefit your entire production and supply chain.
SAVE THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR DATA
Our data integrity protection safeguards your data, even within a multi-vendor environment. Our full compatibility with existing external solutions protects your current production environment, ensuring workflow continuity and the security of your data.
LEVERAGE DATA TO IMPROVE YOUR FUTURE
The Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), from serialized line and managed by aggregation solutions, can be elevated with the introduction of AVionics. AVionics is the comprehensive tool designed to monitor the production efficiency and performance of your line in real time, based on predictive analysis and smart analytics. AVionics works with data not only taken from existing serialized lines and aggregation but also from the packaging machines and all other production equipment. Therefore, it is possible to have a full overview in which you are able to monitor the complete performance.
THE FUTURE
