Success Stories from the Field
Label Print-Apply - Integration

The Problem

A large manufacturer / distributor of dietary products was looking for a label print-apply solution to replace their current shipping system’s label printing system and the additional time and labor of having the labels applied to shipments by hand, especially since the dietary products business has exploded for the company.   The shipping system automatically printed the label with the proper weight and shipping information to a Zebra printer.  The new system would have to use a Zebra printer but the company was reluctant to spend $18,000 to $25,000 per unit for a Zebra print engine with a label applicator from other suppliers. 

The Solution

Dynamic Bar Code Systems delivered a Tharo PA1000tZ Label Applicator with a Zebra Z4M thermal transfer printer for under $8000.  The Zebra Z4M was connected directly to the IBM AS/400 using the ZebraLink Ethernet connection.  As the completed order was placed on the shipping conveyor, a bar code label was scanned to match the carton with the completed order.  The shipping system weigh the package, calculated the shipping charges and sent the label information to the Zebra Z4m and the label was printed and applied to the carton containing the completed order.

The Benefit

With the ability to have a seamless integration between the shipping system and the completed order, the company has seen a dramatic increase in order accuracy and overall productivity.  In the past mistakes were made when the wrong shipping labels were applied to the wrong orders and these mistakes became very costly to correct.  Now with the label print-apply system in place, the orders are filled and labeled accurately and the customers happy.
