GS1 BelgiLux Deploys ML6 AI for Product Label Data Extraction, Cutting Processing from 48 Hours to Near Real-Time

GS1 BelgiLux, the Belgian-Luxembourg member organization of GS1 — the global body best known for the barcode that drives supply chain efficiency across 20+ sectors — teamed up with ML6 to implement an AI-powered product label data extraction system. The deployment cut label processing time from 48 hours to near real-time. Before the deployment, GS1 BelgiLux faced a major bottleneck: manually extracting product data from labels for their data platform. The ML6 AI-powered solution automated the product label data extraction process, transforming the data capture pipeline to be faster, more accurate, scalable, and ready for enterprise-wide rollout. The deployment accelerated product onboarding for GS1 BelgiLux's clients, improved data quality, and drove faster time-to-market for member organizations that rely on GS1 BelgiLux's product data platform. As an organization serving 20+ sectors through barcode standards and product data services, GS1 BelgiLux benefits substantially from this AI-driven automation. Future directions include expanding the AI extraction to additional product label formats and integrating real-time extraction with GS1 BelgiLux's broader product information platform.
