Label Management & Printing Station

Puts an existing weighing scale and an off-the-shelf barcode printer under one central label catalogue, so the price and the weight on the label are the ones the system holds today.

Overview

Sits between a packing bench’s existing weighing scale and an off-the-shelf barcode printer, over RS232 to each and Wi-Fi or Ethernet to the cloud. The operator picks the SKU, the station reads the weight, and the label prints with the current price on it. Nothing is keyed in at the bench.

Label designs, prices and new SKUs are edited once in the central software, under role and location permissions that say who may add a SKU or change a price, and every station picks the change up on its own. Actual packed weights come back to the cloud, so a discrepancy by SKU shows up in an end-of-day report rather than in a stock count weeks later.
