Case Study: Multinational Medical Supply Manufacturer achieves faster, more accurate semi‑automatic production printing with BarTender Integration Builder

BarTender integration enables semi-automatic document printing for medical supply manufacturer

The Multinational Medical Supply Manufacturer faced mounting regulatory demands and needed to semi-automatically design, manage, and print packaging documents while ensuring document and data integrity with minimal line-operator input. They turned to BarTender, deploying BarTender 2022 Enterprise Edition with BarTender Integration Builder (implemented with Seagull Scientific Professional Services) to connect continuous production printers to their Manufacturing Execution System (MES).

Using BarTender Integration Builder, the vendor set up integrations that poll the MES every few minutes, have a local database conditionally update inline printer documents, and run qualification checks to validate data against document fields—removing routine operator steps. As a result, BarTender enabled semi-automatic MES-to-printer transmissions, drastically faster print processes, reduced errors from lower user interaction, and automatically validated documents so production starts accurately and efficiently.
