Industrially produced goods, especially foodstuffs, are stacked on pallets for transport. The finished pallets are usually labelled with logistics information on two or three sides. Special printing units print the labels. A mechanism then applies them to the sides of the pallets.
In order to automate this process, MFG Technik & Service developed the "LabelMonkey" based on a modular system:
- 2 label printing units to achieve redundancy
- 1 robolink® DP with special label pressure plate as a tool
Problem
Until now, this label application process has been carried out using complex, expensive and error-prone mechanisms. Once designed and installed, few changes and adjustments to the system are possible.
