Meanwhile Kelly's Ice Cream has recently installed a Codeology P100 Print and Apply system at its site in Bodmin, Cornwall in the UK. Kelly's criteria for a supplier was that it could provide a high quality, reliable and robust print and apply system which could integrate alongside its current equipment. “In simple terms the customer wanted a fit and forget machine and to have full confidence that its barcodes would meet or exceed industry standards,” says Codeology.

Sally Pope of Kelly's Ice Cream states: "When looking for a second print and apply system for a new line we were installing earlier this year we were impressed by the Codeology P100 primarily on grounds of its stainless steel construction, but also its price and dimensions. The machine was delivered and commissioned on the dates requested. Very comprehensive training was given to our employees. The Barcode printing exceeds current industry standards... I would recommend Codeology and we are looking at the purchase of another P100 later in the year. Click here for more information on the P100.

When Codeology was established as a new company and codirectors Jim Mason and Grant Auton set about the development, design and construction of a prototype barcode labelling and inkjet coder, they knew exactly what they wanted to create: a market-leading, out-of-the-box, reliable machine that would exceed current ITIF14 and EAN 128 standards, be of predominantly aluminium and stainless steel construction for ruggedness, and incorporate the latest technology software and Ethernet connectivity - all for an unprecedented starting price of GBP 12,500.

Meanwhile, Christian Salvesen Foods recently contacted Codeology to discuss its needs to apply outer case labels for a new product range being introduced. After an on-site demonstration, they opted for the Codeology P100 Print and Apply and iBar Ethernet control software for the application. The only problem was lead-time as the product was to be launched in only 4 weeks. However, Codeology rose to the challenge, and delivered, installed and commissioned a machine in less than 3 weeks

The project manager at Christian Salvesen commented: "We were impressed with the speed of delivery, and the simplicity of the installation and training. Within a few hours of Codeology arriving at the gate we were successfully labelling our first products. They even tailored their software for us to incorporate our sell-by codes."
