Label security in the washing machine line

In the project implemented at Vestel's washing machine factory in Manisa, automatic labeling and verification of products coming from the line were ensured.

The project was carried out to guarantee that the correct customer label is applied to the correct product.

Needs / Problems

Incorrect labeling and shipping risks

For each product coming from the line, the customer label matching the product type had to be printed correctly and verified that the printed label matched the product.

  • 01Manual Selection ErrorsRisks of incorrect label printing resulting from selecting and applying labels manually.
  • 02Faulty Shipping RiskThe possibility of incorrectly labeled products bypassing quality control processes and being shipped in error.
Solution

Barcode-read automatic application

The barcode of the product coming from the line was read by a barcode reader. According to the read product, the relevant job was automatically selected in the pallet applicator and the customer barcode suitable for the product was printed. The printed label was matched with the product and verified. The application was made operational by integrating it into the customer's existing systems.
