NEW! Retreeva has upgraded its Retractable Detectable Markers with colour-coded plungers.
Following the successful launch of three new styles of Retractable Detectable Markers, the Retreeva team has decided to enhance this popular range with the introduction of colour-coded plungers.
The pens benefiting from this development are listed below:
Retreeva Retractable Detectable Markers feature food contact approved, shatter-resistant housing that is suited to visual, metal, and x-ray detection. With non-toxic ink and a capless design, these pens have been constructed with food safety in mind – reducing the risks of foreign body incidents.
So, what additional benefits are provided by the new colour-coded plungers?
1.
Drive standards of efficiency
Food production sites are under continued pressure to drive standards of efficiency, saving time and increasing output wherever possible. Something as simple as finding the right pen without having to search for it could save your team precious seconds or even minutes every day, freeing them up to focus on other tasks.
2.
Support colour-coding and segregation
Markers with colour-coded plungers are ideally suited to sites that assign ink colours to specific applications or departments. For example, your day-shift team could update their KPI boards in blue ink and your night-shift team could make their additions in black. Or, ingredient dispensers containing allergen-free ingredients could be written on in green, with all other ingredient dispensers marked up in red.
3.
Secure a reduction in errors
If your site has a system in place for matching ink colours to specific applications or departments, markers with colour-coded plungers will help to reinforce any training or guidance in this area. Thanks to this new development, you have every reason to hold your operatives accountable, as it will be easier than ever to uphold standards and ensure consistent colour-coding.
4.
Make life easier for your operatives
Having such a prominent indication of ink colour will make it easier for your operatives to find the pen they need, even in low-light conditions or a fast-paced environment. What’s more if your operatives are wearing gloves and have limited dexterity, they won’t have the hassle of trying out multiple pens as they search for the right one.
5.
Enhance inventory management and pen storage
The ability to clearly distinguish one pen colour from another will also support inventory management, allowing you to tell at a glance if you are running low on a specific type of ink. If your site has a set number of colours within each zone, it should also be easier for team leaders to work out if all pens have been returned at the end of each shift. This could help your factory to reduce the cost of lost or stolen equipment.
