Abstract
An assembly to deliver packaging film, having a barcode, to a packaging machine (10). Associated with the packaging machine (10) is a splicing machine (17) that joins film from rolls (14, 15) for delivery to the machine (10). A barcode scanner (19) extends transversely of the film, with the scanner (19) including a plurality of cameras (29). Once a barcode is detected, as an example ten images will be decoded and if six “readings” give the same result, then it can be assumed that the barcode has been correctly decoded.
