Faster labelling
February 1st 2011 Logopak has installed 12 of its new
400 Series labellers at a distribution
centre of clothing retailer Next.
The new machines join 18
Logopak 515 Series hanging garment
and tote labellers installed at Next
over the past three years and replace a
manual operation in which labels for
mail order customers were produced
with desk-top label printers from
data entered by hand.
Instead, tote bins are now first
identified with bar codes produced
centrally with each picking list. Then,
as each bin moves to the packing
area, the bar code is scanned and, via
the warehouse computer, the label
data is sent to the Logopak 410
machines.
The machines also incorporate a
body separation facility, giving rapid
access to working parts for cleaning
and maintenance. More articles from Logopak International Ltd: |
