Labels
Technology evolution and the continuous enhancement of the production processes through automation have made barcodes a key tool for labeling parts, components and products.
Quick reading of information through a light scanner has made labels with barcodes a widely used industry standard. For example, in the assembly line of any automobile plant a fast verification of the components being used avoid errors, like having a very disappointed customer because he got the wrong upholstery in his new car.
In the air transportation industry, we have probably seen the person that is placing the luggage on the loading conveyor when he verifies that it is the correct airplane and the owner of a bag is already checked in, removing those of people that are not on board, thus, avoiding mishandling and removing luggage of passengers not flying. Now you may better understand why at check-in those stickers (barcodes) are placed on your luggage.
Another important example of use of DocPath document software is the dynamical generation of labels in retail stores, allowing the quick of change of pricing of any product and specially the perishable ones.
Main Features
- Efficient changes in design and generation made in label formats (ZPL, EPL, TEC, etc.) allowing faster printing.
- Allows to include barcodes with ease.
- Perfect adaptation to logistics environments that need a very fast printing of shipping and tracking labels.
- Easily adapts to environments where products require frequent label changes.
- Easy integration into the existing infrastructure that allows the generation of labels in a centralized and distributed manner.
- Easy integration into the existing infrastructure that allows a more focused and distributed layout of the labels that have been generated.
Target:
Customers that require the generation of large amounts of labels in a critical environment
Customer: Large US appliances manufacturer
A large US appliances manufacturer produces multiple types of appliances that move through the different assembly lines. All parts are previously labeled with barcodes for checkup of their usage and during the assembly process new labels are required.
The critical point is that the manufacturing lines should never stop, so that reliability, scalability and throughput become key success factors. Also, it was required to support different labelling devices to avoid the replacement of available equipment.
By using DocPath's document software they have been able to produce in real-time any of the required, allowing the manufacturing process to move uninterrupted.
Additionally, the customer uses the DocPath document software to create, when required, the delivery notes for the shipments. Delivery notes include also barcodes for a more efficient processing.
