Basket Tracking Option
To be absolutely sure each basket of product went through the retort cycle, basket tracking is available. Our system utilizes QR scan/read technology that is robust and not susceptible to the extreme heating and cooling of a typical retort cycle. QR Tags are placed on each basket. Scanners are position at every transition point (Transfer). A time stamp is logged at each point ensuring the basket/cube made its path through the entire system including the retort hold (Process) time.

- Hand-held or permanently mounted vision system
