Industrial Weigh-Price Labeling Systems (Automatic / Manual).

The modern retail environment faces pressures to reduce costs, respond quickly to changes in demand, differentiate from competition and achieve product quality and traceability. As part of the their integrated supply chains, retailers are asking processors to weigh and label their products.

In this environment, food manufacturing companies require flexible weigh-price labeling systems in order to meet customer demands and integrate with existing infrastructure (traceability systems, ERP, WMS, OEE monitoring systems, etc).

Theodorou Automation SAICT develops & supports the following Weigh-Print-Apply systems:

Integrated Coding & Identification System


Smart Code is an integrated coding & identification solution for products and their transportation units (carton, pallets).

Smart Code allows printing of variable information onto products, packs, cartons and pallets. This data is important both for traceability and transportation/logistics purposes.

This information falls into two general categories:

(a) Traceability Information:                                     

- expiry date                                                                  
- production or packaging date
- shift code
- LOT number
- weight
- other information about the production process
...etc.
 (b) Transportation/Logistics Information:

- customer name
- quantity
- content description 
- issue date
- ship date
- other information about content and means of transportation 
....etc.

 

Traceability information is printed onto primary (items), secondary (cartons) and tertiary (pallets) packaging. Transportation/Logistics information is mainly printed onto cartons and pallets. Smart Code includes methods and technologies that cover all your primary, secondary and tertiary coding needs.

What is Coding?
Coding allows products to be identified with information about their production (e.g. expiry dates, LOT numbers, etc) and their transportation (e.g. weight, quantity, name, etc). Through coding, every product is given a unique dynamic “ID” that stays with it through the supply chain. Proper coding is of major importance for a successful traceability system, since it includes the information needed for targeted product recalls.
 
How does Coding work?
Coding is done with the use of printers especially designed for industrial environments. Various printing technologies (inkjet, thermal transfer, laser) are employed whether it is primary (item), secondary (pack, carton) or tertiary (pallet) coding. There are two types of printing: (a) directly onto the packaging and (b) on labels that are applied, manually or automatically, on packaging. Printed information can be either human-identifiable (LOT numbers, expiry dates, etc) or machine-identifiable (Barcodes EAN 13, ΕΑΝ 128, 2D, SSCC, RFID, etc).

Our company participates in major Greek and European Trade-Shows and hosts regular ‘Technology Days’: full-day events, especially designed to cover particular coding, traceability and production management needs of vertical markets.

The innovative nature of our Technology Days has made them exceptionally popular among manufacturing executives, because:

• They are aimed at specific verticals (e.g. Packaging Materials, Pharmaceuticals, Beverage, etc), covering particular needs concerning appropriate and cost-effective coding, traceability and productivity improvement solutions.

Interactive sessions with our customers are provided, instead of lengthy PowerPoint presentations.

• Special applications are built within virtual production lines, giving our customers the opportunity to experience how our solutions work in real time.

To keep you updated about our events, please register at our e-newsletter myFactory News.
