How to Error-proof your Container Labeling process
Labeling mistakes are caused by human error and can usually be eliminated by improving - and controlling - the labeling process. Our unique line-side labeling solutions automate and control the labeling process to ensure the correct label will always print.
We base our solutions on the Japanese concept of "Poke Yoke" (mistake-proofing) in which a device is used in a business process to prevent errors from being made.
SPEDE Labeling solutions use a small wireless device such as the Symbol MK500 TouchScreen pictured at right. Installed at line-side, the MK500 can be configured to print the correct label automatically, every time.
When a label is needed, the RF device sends a signal to the SPEDE Labeling software that resides on a Server PC connected to your 802.11 network. SPEDE maintains a real-time Label Database of Part Number and other label data that is sourced from your ERP system, to ensure accuracy. SPEDE sends the correct label data to the line-side printer, the label prints, and is immediately applied to the container of parts being packed.

Do you Batch-print labels right now?
If you currently batch-print labels for numerous Part Numbers at a central location, and then distribute the labels to production lines and plant sites - you know this is a risky process.
Labels can be distributed to the wrong line and inadvertently applied, resulting in hundreds - or thousands - of parts being mis-labeled before you detect the error.
If you must use a batch-printing process, we offer a simple line-side solution that validates each pre-printed label before it is applied to prevent labeling errors. .
