The development of innovative labeling and marking solutions is one of the main undertakings of C3 Corporation. Based in Appleton, Wisconsin, C3 recognised at an early stage that intelligent track-and-trace is the key to intelligent manufacturing. Equipped with PC-based control technology, the Smart Identity System developed by C3 provides comprehensive remote connectivity, enabling users to access applications via web-capable devices like smartphones and tablets.

C3 track-and-trace systems are used in many industries like foam and urethane production, the paper and packaging industry, the food and beverage industry, as well as in the finished metal products industry. “We work very closely with our customers. We want to understand the entire operation from the shop floor to the top management level and everything in-between. This enables us eliminate bottlenecks and make the whole operation more efficient,” explains Joe Van De Hey, the CEO of C3.

With the company’s Smart Identity System for marking products with data-intensive labels, C3 has managed to introduce a new development in the field of integration services. “Our system gives customers an accurate overview of their operation’s throughput rates and effectiveness. Via remote access they can use any web-capable device to issue commands, change templates and labels, run diagnostics and access data,” explains C3 application and database engineer, Drew Demerath. “The openness of the PC Control platform also allows us to adapt our labeling and marking solution to the customer’s specific requirements.”
