'Product identification & traceability solutions for warehousing, manufacturing & logistics'

Brought to you by SATO

Label&Track™ is a fully automated production labelling and tracking solution that has been developed specifically for manufacturing and logistics environments. It is essential to any business where product traceability through the entire supply chain, business process efficiencies and improved inventory accuracy derived from product identification, barcode scanning and RFID are key business requirements. Label&Track™ enables clients to leverage their existing investment in ERP/financial systems. The Label&Track™ barcode/RFID driven traceability and warehouse solution, which encompasses both hardware and software, allows customers to:

• Download product and production order information directly from their ERP/Financial system
• Label both trade units and pallets automatically as goods are packaged and palletised
• Manage these trade units and pallets as they move along the production line and through the warehouse
• Automatically and immediately update the ERP system with transactions, such as work order completions and changes to inventory valuation, throughout the process

Label&Track™ is designed as an enterprise level solution with the essential robustness and redundancy to support mission critical 24x7 operations, regardless of the availability of the ERP system. Built with the latest Microsoft™ technology.

Manufacturing

With Label&Track™, manufacturing companies can print EAN128 compliant Trade and Logistic Unit (carton & pallet) barcode labels in real time on pack lines, and apply them manually or automatically. Using the Label&Track™ Manufacturing Module, production is captured automatically. The system is designed to be run by the shop floor in a `short run` dynamic manufacturing environment. Key features include the ability to:

• Download production order and product information
• Create and Manage print runs
• Print and apply labels (both manually and automatically)
• Capture production data through scanning trade unit or pallet labels
• Automatically complete work orders to create inventory

Logistics

Traditional warehouse management systems have often proven too complex, costly and difficult to implement for the business benefits derived. The Label&Track™ Logistics Module however, concentrates on the key areas most likely to yield maximum business benefits such as:

• Driving the business process by scanning uniquely identified cartons and pallets from an RF terminal
• Tracking inventory location in the warehouse at the pallet/carton level
• Proper rotation of inventory on a FIFO basis
• full product traceability according to key parameters such as sales order number, pallet/carton id, SKU, Lot/batch number and maximum durability date
