Creation and printing of logistics labels for weighed foodstuffs

We have prepared a demonstration of the implementation in operation with our team. You can see the solution described below at this link:

The described solution is deployed for weighing cheese, but the same logic can of course be applied to other weighed food or non-food items.

Our solution has focused on maximum simplicity. That is why CODEWARE® has chosen for the solution devices that mean for the user only to press a button or an icon on the touch screen.

Device assembly:
The scale is connected to a computer with a touch screen (can be a cash register), barcode printer.
In our case, a TSC ME-240 printer was used.

When food is placed on the scale, the scale immediately prints a label with the barcode of the specific product. If a quantity that can be packed in a carton is weighed, the operator presses a button on the touchscreen counterThe "CARTON" button on the touch screen computer automatically prints a self-adhesive label on the carton (the sum of the weights of the packages in the carton). The operator creates multiple cartons and assembles the cartons into a pallet unit for shipment. By pressing the "PALETTE" button, a pallet self-adhesive label is printed and applied to the pallet (sum of carton weights). The food is thus weighed and ready for distribution.

A summary label can be printed at any time in the system, where the weight of the pre-weighed goods is totaled, but the button is primarily used to report production for the entire day.

The appearance of the self-adhesive label can be freely modified in Bartender. The Bartender Automation license is suitable for this purpose. The editing and settings are in the background of the application, with clear buttons accompanied by images for operation.
