Introducing Line-side Labeler™

The mistake-proof way to label Finished Parts.

Line-side Labeler is a real-time solution for printing labels in the work cell. It prevents labeling mistakes by virtually eliminating human intervention in both the label set-up and label-printing processes.

  • Controls the labeling process at the point of production

  • Triggers the right label to print automatically

  • Eliminates PCs and Operator decision-making

  • Synchronizes Label Set-up with Machine Set-up

  • Supports Honda's "Line-side Labeling" initiative

How it Works:

A Line-side Labeler terminal installed in the work cell functions as a wireless bridge between the production machine, the label printer in that cell, and our SPEDE Line-side Labeling software that resides on a network server. The SPEDE software interfaces to host computer systems to get label data real-time.

When the production machine is set-up to make a new part, Line-side Labeler can be configured to print the correct label for that part. The LCD panel on Line-side Labeler displays the part number, quantity of labels printed so far, and pack count for the part it is configured for. To print a label, the operator simply touches the LCD panel. The correct label will print, using real-time information from your host system.

For even more control over your labeling process, Line-side Labeler can be interfaced to the production machine via a PLC connected to its serial port. When the PLC detects that a good part is made, it sends a signal to the Line-side Labeler which tallies the good parts. When a pack count is reached, Line-side Labeler triggers a label to print automatically, and the operator applies it to the container of parts.

Key Advantages for your Operators:

  • No risk of making errors in labeling product in the work cell
  • No decision-making about which label to print
  • No PC to use
  • No manual data entry
  • No need to leave the work cell to print labels
  • And for your IT staff, no need to install and maintain expensive "intelligent" printers in every work cell

Line-side Labeler can be a standalone solution integrated to your existing 802.11b wireless network. Or it can be implemented with other SPEDE inventory tracking and traceability modules.
