Labelling

Centrally-managed label templates, printed on the line.

A typical labelling station — the Robot terminal posts a minimal label request identifying its station and the packer (from the RFID key port). The server already knows what fruit specification is dropping at that bay (from the sorter / sizer currently feeding the station), looks up the cultivar, batch, and customer, builds the label content, captures the packer-incentive record, and dispatches the print job to the label printer. The printed label is applied to the carton on the line.

Automated labelling solutions

Precision labelling for high-volume fruit packing — the SCADA & IOT Server (or a third-party server) generates variable-data labels live from the station's current sorter / sizer drop and the packer identified at the RFID key port. Robot terminals at the station only request labels; everything else — fruit specification lookup, packer-incentive recording, and the print job — happens on the server.

Carton labelling

  • Server-resolved content — cultivar, batch, customer derived from the station's current drop
  • RFID packer ID captured at the key port, written into the incentive record
  • Robot only requests — minimal traffic on the line, no per-carton config

Pallet labelling

  • Large-format labels for pallet identification and tracking
  • Barcode and QR codes for logistics and ERP integration
  • Weatherproof stock for cold storage and transport

Label verification

  • Vision-based presence detection
  • Barcode read-back to verify accuracy and contrast
  • Print-quality control with automatic reject

Integration

  • Robot ↔ Server — terminals post label requests over HTTP / JSON
  • Server ↔ Printer — the server spools labels directly to the printer; printers are not wired to the Robot
  • Centralised template management — change a label format once, apply across the site

Why our labelling

Distributed operation

One printer is shared across one or two adjacent packing stations — no queuing, no delays, full line throughput sustained.

Server-driven content

The server resolves cultivar, batch, and customer from the station's current sorter drop — no pre-printing, no waste on changeovers.

Easy maintenance

Quick-change label rolls and minimal downtime for media swaps.

Packer incentives

Every printed label captures the packer ID and station — feeding the incentive scheme automatically. Full audit trail in the SCADA server.
