Solutions: Wireless label copy printing
The automated robot manufacturer contacted Brady with
questions about our standard Scan & Print app we promote
on our website. In essence, the Scan & Print app copies
labels, and it is a great traceability tool for components that are
collected from larger bins.
After analysing the needs together with our customer, it quickly
became clear that a custom scan & print application could
optimally solve the specific identification challenges involved.
Every time a component is picked from a bin, the bin label is
now scanned. Scan data are sent to central systems. From
there, data are sent back wirelessly to the picker’s portable label
printer to print a label copy immediately. To ensure traceability in
a fast and efficient way, label copies are applied to components
so they match the label on the bin they were sourced from.
Brady specialists also built in a verification feature that can alert
when a component would be picked that does not match the
work order.
Warehouse professionals were equipped with the portable
BradyPrinter M611 Mobile Printer. The printer can receive data
wirelessly to print them on highly resilient, industrial grade labels
that can resist a great number of production processes. The
BradyPrinter M611 does not feature a keyboard, and is instead
capable of printing complex labels using any smartphone as
interface, or can print labels automatically via an ERP-system
and wifi-network.
