Winners of the Australian Packaging Machinery Association (APMA) Excellence Awards were announced during this month’s Auspack. Product identification solutions provider Matthews took out the best new product award.
Matthews was awarded for its iDSnet integrated product traceability solution, which the company says eliminates coding and labelling errors, centralises product identification management, increases production visibility and increases coding and labelling efficiency.The company says, “By centralising control, iDSnet ensures that the correct code, such as a barcode, datecode or batchcode, is always placed on the correct product at the correct time. By networking all coding and labelling devices back to a central database, product changes are effected down an entire production line with one simple operator action.”

Export Achievement Award – Fibre King
