Eliminate Errors When Using Pre-printed Labels

  • Do you batch-print labels for Finished Parts at a central location?
  • Do you distribute the labels to one or more production lines?

If so, you run the risk of mis-labeling hundreds or thousands of Finished Parts should the wrong labels be delivered to a line and then inadvertently applied.

The SPEDE Line-side Label Validation solution enables you to continue using a batch-printing process but without the risk of label mix-ups.

You simply can scan the pre-printed label at line-side before applying it to a container of parts. The Line-side Label Validation system verifies whether the label is correct for the part being made, and notifies the operator.

Just one quick scan eliminates the risk of mis-labeling parts!

How Does Real-time Validation Work?

MK500 with Wrong Label Message Operator is Alerted if the
Label Doesn't Match
the Part Number

 

This unique wireless solution uses the Symbol MK500 terminal, installed at the production line, to verify the pre-printed labels.

The MK500 is a small RF TouchScreen with a color display and integrated barcode scanner in its base. It connects to your 802.11 network to communicate with the SPEDE Label Validation Software residing on
a Server PC.

After your host system prints a batch of labels, the SPEDE Label Validation Software obtains the Part / Serial Number data for that batch and retains the data in its database.

At line-side, before a pre-printed label is applied to a container of parts, the operator scans the label serial number using the MK500. SPEDE verifies that the Part / Serial number match the part being made at that line, and displays a message on the MK500 screen:

  • "OK" if the label is CORRECT
  • "WRONG LABEL" and a loud BEEP if the label is WRONG.

One scan is all it takes to error-proof your process of labeling Finished Product with pre-printed labels.


Get Real-time Production Data, too!

MK500 with Wrong Label Message

As a by-product of scanning the Finished Parts labels, the SPEDE Label Validation solution creates a real-time database of production data and events.

You can view Production Totals, Error Logs, Activity Reports and more by using standard data mining tools. For example:

  • View Daily or Weekly Production by Part, Employee, Shift, Date Range and more
  • View Label Validation Errors by Part Number, Shift and/or Employee
