Minimal operational disruption for food firm

RFID, barcode labels and floor marking specialist, inotec, recently completed a line marking project for a leading British food manufacturer.

The blue-chip company employs over 9,500 staff and selected inotec for the project as a result of previous work it had successfully undertaken for the company. The 5-week project consisted of the installation of a line marking scheme in the company's chilled storage area, which included the painting of over 1500 linear metres of floor marking and infill walkways. It also involved marking 1250 metres of the main yard and parking bay lines for the company’s 600 parking spaces.

To mark the lines inotec used its highly durable ‘Dura-line’ line marking system. This dries within a very short period – under two hours – and has very little odour enabling the warehouses to return quickly to full operation. The system uses water-based acrylic paint applied to a shot blast prepared floor. 

An ultraviolet clear topcoat is then cured onto the paint which gives high wear characteristics and allows the base paint to remain bright and visible for longer than traditional paint systems. The project was delivered within the required timescales and completed on budget.
