Label Hotel

The solution handles retail packing, carton labeling, and pallet labeling.

The Multiple Packing Line system can accommodate several manual packing stations that can be activated as needed. For example, if five different products need to be packed simultaneously, five packing stations are staffed; if only two products need packing, just two stations are used. This makes the system a flexible solution that is easy and quick to adjust to varying production demands.

The solution consists of a conveyor system for moving retail products, two, three, or more manual packing stations equipped with scales and printers, a carton labeling station, and a pallet labeling station.

On the conveyor system, for example, three different retail products pass by three manual packing stations. The operator at packing station 1 is dedicated to packing product A only, the operator at station 2 handles product B, and the operator at station 3 manages product C.

Each operator takes “their” retail product from the conveyor belt, weighs it, packs it into a plastic tray, prints and applies the product label, and then sends the tray further along the conveyor.

Using a photoelectric sensor at each packing station, the MPL system detects which station the plastic tray came from, thereby identifying the product in the tray. When the tray reaches the carton labeling station, a carton label with the correct product description is printed and automatically applied to the tray.

The tray then continues along the line, is packed onto pallets, which are then sent to the pallet labeling station, where the correct label is automatically printed and applied to the pallet.
