The Benefits of Automated Labeling Machine for Faster, More Accurate Operations

Product labeling is a crucial step in manufacturing and distribution operations. However, manually applying labels can be slow, inconsistent, and prone to errors. This is where automated labeling machines provide major advantages.

How Do Automatic Labeling Machines Work?
Automatic labelers use advanced robotic systems to precisely apply labels onto products as they move along a conveyor. Key steps typically include:

• Products are automatically spaced apart on the conveyor
• Sensors identify the position, orientation and dimensions of each product
• The label applicator picks up a label and places it accurately onto the product
• The label is wiped or tamped down to ensure adhesion
• Verification systems confirm correct label placement
• Optional printing modules allow variable data to be added to labels

Benefits of Automated Labeling Machines

• High speed labeling, up to 1000 units per minute
• Consistent and accurate label placement within +/- 1mm
• Applies labels smoothly on flat, curved or irregular surfaces
• Reduces labor costs by eliminating tedious manual work
• Lowers errors and rework compared to manual labeling
• Allows quick changeovers between products
• Provides flexibility with different label materials and adhesives
• Enables just-in-time variable data printing
• Generates reports for audit compliance

For companies needing to label products, packages, bottles, cans, boxes and more, automated labeling machines streamline the process for greater speed, accuracy and efficiency. This results in improved productivity and lower operating costs.
