Track & Trace at Meguin – from Oil Production to the Consumer
Automating Labeling and Inspection
Industry 4.0 has become a reality at Meguin: a proprietary MES system controls and monitors the entire production process. Over the years, they have doubled their volume of oil production – while occupying the same area. Plant Manager Christian Texter is responsible for the automation and digitalization of production processes and process engineering.
A significant challenge is the variety of containers in use – ranging from handy round bottles and square canisters to barrels and 1000-liter IBC containers. In addition, the highest quality standards must be observed. The high-quality products “Made in Germany” are well-known and valued on the market. The bottles are sealed and carry a unique QR code for Track & Trace purposes, which enables traceability and protects against counterfeits. Wipotec has developed a forward-looking solution to meet the requirements and challenges at Meguin.
