Labels are first created in an industry-standard design application such as BarTender. This user-friendly designer allows teams to customize fonts, images, bar codes, database fields, languages, layouts, positioning, and other design elements.
Once labels are designed, they are exported to CAT Squared’s Label Manager and associated with specific products. Labels can be centrally managed and replicated across multiple plants, preventing errors and inconsistencies. Labels may also be assigned an activation date to automatically transition them into production.
Pack-out and Palletizing solutions range from manual to high-speed automated in-motion weigh-and-label systems. These in-motion systems include automatic print-and-apply features and label verification, allowing more than 30 cases per minute to be weighed and labeled without operator intervention. A weigh-price labeling option is also available for variable-weight items.
Mobile wireless scale/printer combinations can be used to pack out products that do not run on in-line labeling systems. Store-and-forward technology lets each labeling station operate without continuous network connectivity, minimizing downtime and maximizing throughput.
Production data can be integrated into the Production Control Module, providing a real-time view of production, yield, and give-away. When utilized in conjunction with the Warehouse Management System, it delivers comprehensive control over product movement, inventories, and traceability. Management can monitor real-time reporting and data visualizations via the Executive Dashboard application for single- or multi-plant oversight.
