(MSM Solutions: Memphis, TN) -- MSM Solutions, a premier solution partner and registered ISV within the Zebra Technologies PartnerConnect Program, announces the launch of PortalTrack Print IQ, a software platform that transforms industrial label printers into intelligent inspection stations. Using Zebra Technologies’ fixed industrial scanners enabled with AI-powered tools, PortalTrack Print IQ stops unreadable labels before they enter the supply chain.

Integrating Zebra Technologies’ fixed industrial scanners with MSM’s PortalTrack software provides continuous validation and actionable data to close a critical gap in healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics production labeling.

As requirements like GS1 Sunrise 2027 and digital product passports evolve, label accuracy is critical. PortalTrack Print IQ works for a variety of labels, providing dedicated support for healthcare, manufacturing, and EPC compliance standards. This flexibility eliminates the risks of sampling or downstream scanning, preventing faulty labels from reaching customers and avoiding costly compliance fees or operational disruptions.

PortalTrack Print IQ validates every label at the point of print. Using Zebra’s AI-powered anomaly-detection and AI-OCR software tools, the system verifies 1D and 2D barcodes, and ensures human-readable text matches encoded data. If a defect is detected, the system triggers an instant printer interlock to prevent unreadable labels from entering the supply chain. To ensure this intelligence can be used throughout the enterprise, PortalTrack Print IQ provides robust APIs for seamless data integration.

“This isn’t just about scanning; it’s about capturing the digital identity of every label to ensure complete printing verification, traceability, and operational intelligence,” says Kern Young, machine vision and fixed industrial scanning system engineer at MSM Solutions. “We have deployed PortalTrack PrintIQ internally in our service bureau running 40,000 labels a day and have customers currently running pilot validations in their own facilities.”
