Scanvaegt ABWL System
Automatic weighing, labelling and check of weight and barcode
The Scanvaegt ABWL System weighs and labels the boxes and checks at the same time that weight content as well as information on the label is correct, that the EC label is correctly placed and that the barcode is readable.
When boxes are to be packed, sealed, weighed and labelled, there is a risk of errors. These errors can be of different kinds; the weight content may be incorrect, the barcode may be unreadable, the EC label may be placed wrong, the box content may differ from the info on the label.
Scanvaegt's ABWL System eliminates all these errors – in addition to weighing and labelling the box, it also controls, that the weight as well as the information on the label is correct, that the sealing label is placed correctly and the the barcode is clear and readable.
In case the box deviates from the specifications, it will be rejected out to a separate conveyor for re-packaging.
Integrated control functions eliminate errors
When the box has been strapped, the sealing label is applied across the strap and the checked by a colour scanner.
The ABWL system has a stop function, which ensures, that only one box at a time is on the weighing unit - this prevents errors in the weighing process.
Once the box has been weighed, the industry computer couples the weight result to the order information, transferred from the own IT-system. The box is then moved forward to the labelling unit, where weight and order information is printed on a label, which automatically is applied to the box.
Text and layout on the label is defined by the user.
Then a scanner reads the barcode on the label and checks, that it is readable and that the information complies with the data, generated in the industry computer at the registration of the weighing unit.
One system - several functions
The new weighing and labeling station consists of:
- A label applicator for applying the EU label
- A color scanner for verifying correct placement of the EU label
- A conveyor scale for weighing cartons, along with a weighing terminal for weight registration and communication with the IT system
- A conveyor with a centering unit to align the carton in the correct position
- A label printer housed in a stainless steel cabinet and a label applicator
- A scanner for post-inspection of customer labels and cartons
Flexible Label Applicators
The ABWL system's label applicators, developed by Scanvaegt Systems, feature a flexible design that allows for multiple options when placing labels on package units. Labels can be applied to the side of the carton, the front or rear end, the top surface, or even across the edge of the carton. Additionally, the applicators can label packages of varying sizes simultaneously.
The label applicators require only minimal spacing between individual packages. Combined with their high application speed, this enables them to handle up to 20 variable-weight packages per minute and up to 40 fixed-weight packages per minute.
