Automated Container Labeling using PLCs

SPEDE PLC-Triggered Labeling is a fully automated solution for labeling containers of Finished Parts at line-side - with 100% accuracy.

This real-time labeling solution is comprised of the SPEDE Labeling Software that resides on a PC server connected to your 802.11 network, a wireless printer located at line-side, and a wireless "bridge" device that connects the PLC to your wireless network.

The RF "bridge" enables the PLC to send a signal to the SPEDE Labeling Software that a label is needed, when a pack count of "good parts" is made.

SPEDE responds by sending the correct data for that Part Number to the line-side label printer. The label prints, and is immediately applied to the container of parts being packed.

SPEDE maintains a real-time database of Part Number / Label data, sourced from your ERP system, to eliminate manual data entry and errors.

New! Scrap Reporting Option --

Now you can track Scrap totals in real-time, and make adjustments immediately.

With a small RF TouchScreen connected to the PLC via RS-232, SPEDE can collect critical machine performance data for use in calculating Scrap and machine efficiency.

This machine performance data can also be used to calculate Optimal Equipment Efficiencies (OEE), and to monitor Actual vs. Planned production totals for the current run.

SPEDE can display real-time Run Data such as:

• Machine Number
• Run Number
• Start Time / Date
• Part Number
• Description
• Pack Count
• Quantity of Labels printed so far
• Time of Last Label Print, and more
