Edinburgh distiller invests in pallet labeller

The machine, installed inside a steel enclosure, has been fitted with an integrated scanner to ensure bar-code legibility. The 920PF runs using Logopak’s Synchro-LXS labelling data management software, which manages labelling data files downloaded from the customer’s host computer.

The labeller also features Logopak’s I-Quest software, which enables users to interrogate the system and extract production statistics on all pallets produced. It allows machine operators to search for specific data on cases and pallets via SKU product codes, production dates and SCCC or line numbers.

Wilson Clark, Logopak UK’s general manager, said: “Following the decision to label pallets automatically, the distillery put two competitive labelling machines on extended trial, one after the other.

“The Logopak system was the one that provided consistent dependability over a three-month period.”

Clark added: “This can form the basis of automatic product traceability – now being adopted in the Scottish distilling industry -  and in other ways such as consolidating production statistics, validating shipping manifests or simply to compare elements of production.”

Last month, Packaging News reported that Logopak was targeting its 920PFR pallet labeller at the food and drinks sectors.
