Inventory Labeling: Wireless and On-demand

Each module of the SPEDE System, which include Raw Material, Work-in-Process and Finished Goods, includes an integrated labeling function for printing serialized internal inventory labels, and customer shipping and compliance labels. Labels can be printed on-demand, at the point of need. No other labeling software is needed.

The SPEDE Labeling functions include:

• Internal labeling: barcode and/or RFID container and pallet labels
• Automotive compliance labeling: Includes 130+ ready-to-use OEM formats
• RFID compliance labeling for Wal-Mart

RF Push-button and RF Printer for Line-side Labeling

Labeling is "Error-Proof"

Whenever possible, SPEDE minimizes human intervention in the labeling process to prevent costly errors due to manual data entry, operator confusion, mismatching labels and parts, and using obsolete labels.

For example:

• Pallet labels are created by simply scanning the carton serial numbers contained on the pallet.
• A simple “Apply Function” ensures a Master label is applied to the correct pallet.
• Finished Goods carton labels are created at line-side, with the simple push of a button. When the button is pushed, the correct label will automatically print.
• Labels are assigned a “time to live” to prevent using labels with obsolete engineering codes or other expired data that can result in shipping errors.

RF Printer on Power Cart

Wireless Printing Increases Productivity

Inventory labels can be printed wherever the inventory is, using an RF handheld and a mobile wireless printer connected to a power cart.

Eliminating the need to travel to a labeling station, wait for a PC, and key-in data every time labels are needed saves time, increases productivity, and reduces labor costs.

Printing labels as needed and applying them immediately to the inventory, rather than batch-printing in advance and applying them later, also prevents errors that result from mis-matching labels to parts and using labels that contain expired information.

Server-based Labeling Solution is Easy to Maintain

SPEDE’s labeling applications reside on a Server PC, and are accessed remotely by material handlers using an RF device. This eliminates the need to use dedicated PCs on the plant floor, saving you hardware and maintenance costs.

In addition, the SPEDE Label Database is a central repository of the most current label information and formats for all Part Numbers. Changes to label data and format are made at the server-level, eliminating the need to update numerous PC databases in the plant or warehouse.
