Scan to Create Pallet Labels

Error-proof Pallet Labeling

Labeling pallets of Finished Product to meet customers' specifications can be a real challenge when you ship the same Part to several different customers - or to several locations of the same customer.

Another challenge: If you want to label pallets at the end of production, and then scan the labels downstream to control inventory and shipping, how do you know which label to print - your Internal label, or a specific Customer Shipping label?

And if you apply Customer labels now, will the label data still be current when the pallets finally ship?

In addition to these challenges are the errors that result from keying-in data, and choosing label formats from a confusing menu of choices.

The SPEDE Pallet Labeling solution uses intelligent system-based controls and barcode scanning to automate and error-proof the pallet labeling process. Pallets can be labeled at the point of production. Their serial numbers can be scanned to track and trace inventory while it's still in your facility, and to automate your warehouse and trailer loading processes. At ship-time, SPEDE will verify the customer labels are correct before the shipment leaves your dock.

Advantages of SPEDE Pallet Labeling:

• Maintains a real-time Label database of Part Number and Customer Ship-to label data, to eliminate the need for data entry
• Prints serialized Internal or Customer labels automatically, depending on the Part Number
• Part Number and other label data is sourced from your ERP or EDI system
• Label data is supplied automatically when a label is requested
• Labels are created by scanning serialized cartons on the pallet
• Creates a Master or Mixed Load label automatically, depending on the cartons that were scanned
• Apply Label function ensures the label is applied to the correct pallet
• Auto-reprint function automatically reprints a Shipping label if customer's EDI data has changed since the label was originally printed, to prevent rejected shipments
• Prints Barcode and/or RFID pallet labels that can be scanned or RFID-read downstream
• Provides 130+ AIAG label formats for automotive suppliers
• Enables Lot/Serial Traceability as a by-product of scanning serialized pallet labels to record transactions

RFID/barcode Master Label

Get the Benefit of RFID Mandates

You can benefit from your customers' RFID labeling mandates by using RFID readers to automate and error-proof your trailer loading process.

By installing an RFID reader on your shipping dock, or using a mobile RFID reader mounted to a forklift, you can ensure that every pallet serial number will be read, verified and recorded via the SPEDE Trailer Loading Control function. If an incorrect pallet is being loaded, SPEDE will alert the operator and require immediate correction. If a picked/allocated pallet has been omitted from the order, SPEDE will not allow the trailer to "close" (create a ship transaction or ASN) until the complete order has been loaded.

For your outgoing barcoded shipments, you can use barcode scanners at that same shipping dock to automatically record and error-proof every customer shipment.
