In 2005 a small group of enthusiastic people from the coding and marking industry identified a number of recurring problems that were prevalent, particularly in the manufacture of food and beverage products. The lack of integration and communication between different brands of equipment was one frustration, whilst date coding errors and packaging errors were a major headache.

The launch of AutoCoding Systems aimed to address both these and other issues by providing solutions for the control and automation of packaging line devices. These solutions cover areas such as automatic date coding and coding control, packaging verification and label verification. Over the years the AutoCoding solution has been developed using the latest techniques in software engineering and now many years on, with a team of over 40 people, we have installed the AutoCoding solution on more than 750 packaging lines in the UK and Ireland.
