Success Stories from the Field
Thermal Label Printer - Stand-alone

The Problem

A large butter creamery was asked by their customers to provide UPC-A bar code labels on the cartons for the products they were manufacturing.  The environment where the products were packaged and labeled was extremely sanitary for food production, but since there were frequent equipment wash downs, the location was not suitable for a computer terminal.

The Solution

Dynamic Bar Code Systems installed a stand-alone Tharo Apollo 3 Label Printer on the production floor where the products were to be labeled.  The Apollo 3 was printing labels based on the information stored on a PCMCIA card connected to the back of the printer.  The label formats were created using EASYLABEL label design software and downloaded to the printer and stored on the PCMCIA card.  Once the printer was disconnected from the computer and moved to the production floor, the label formats were accessed using the printer’s front panel. Once the correct format was chosen, any variable information to be entered by the operator, was typed using a computer keyboard connected to the printer.  When it was necessary to wash down the ‘clean room’, the printer was disconnected from the power source and moved to another location without harming the data stored on the PCMCIA card.

The Benefit

Not only does the creamery have a solid solution for printing product identification and bar code labels, the creamery has also saved the additional cost of having a computer in the production area.  With the amount of money the creamery saved on not requiring a computer on the production floor, the amount saved has only added to the company’s bottom line!
