OMRON & IBC Traceability

One of the strongest opportunities for OMRON within IBC’s product portfolio is integrated traceability.

A typical application might combine:

Barcode/RFID → Scanner → Vision → PLC → Database/MES → Printer/Label Applicator

This allows manufacturers to capture information at production while automatically using that information to identify products and create a digital record of their movement.

Why Buy OMRON Through IBC?

IBC can help manufacturers evaluate the entire application rather than simply selecting an individual automation component. We can combine OMRON technologies with barcode printers, labels, RFID, scanners, mobile computers, software, and other equipment to develop an integrated solution.
