3.3 ‘STRIPED LINERLESS’ SYSTEMS and APPLICATIONS

System for the ecological labelling of tubs and parallelepiped products. It allows for application on the upper surface, sides and base of the product.
The limited thickness of the Linerless material, free of silicon liner, and the “short step” advancement allows the use of bigger label rolls and consequently significant operative duration.
The thermal transfer digital coder allows for printing alphanumerical characters and barcodes. It’s provided with its own touch screen control unit (it doesn’t require connection to PC).
It can be connected/linked to a set of scales for printing of variable weights
Ergonomically positioned adjustments and ergonomically positioned control panel with graphic display.

5. SOFTWARE (sub-section)

ArcaLOG software


Logistic software:
Print management
Unattended labelling
Traceability of products and shipments
Packaging validation


Arcalog is a “suite” of programs specially designed for production environments and industrial logistics. These standard software applications are easily integratable and compatible with Sato, Zebra, Videojet printers and with the most common digital print devices (thermal transfer, inkjet and laser).
Customizable and compliant to multinational contexts, thanks to a multilingual user interface


LabelPRINTER and CHANGE

The LABEL PRINTER software allows users to create graphic layouts and print labels. All PRINT ONLY functions can be guided and controlled through a customized interface, created by Arca on request based on specific production needs
Its PRINT ONLY module allows the operator to effectively control all print functions: select label graphics, check them in preview, fill out the variable fields, or launch printing on a connected device.
All PRINT ONLY functions can be guided and controlled through a customized interface, created by Arca on request based on specific production needs.

UNMANNED PRINTING
The CHANGE software identifies and updates graphics to be printed, without the operator having to intervene (unmanned printing).For example, it can automatically update the number of batches based on the PC’s clock.
CHANGE updates graphics created with the LABEL PRINTER and it can also be integrated into labelling system graphic interfaces.


LABEL MANAGEMENT
The LABEL MANAGEMENT software identifies and updates graphics to be printed,the program features an interactive user interface for:

line control
alarm display
checking the status of the connected devices
the starting and the suspending production;

The monitoring module, for each production batch, provides a wealth of information including:

number of printed or applied labels
traceability of errors
traceability of operators
event times

Manages and retrieves information from multiple devices including code scanners for product validation PLC and scales. Allows for differentiated usage (based on programmed logics) of various print devices for conditioned labeling and/or at different points on the product.

The SLIM version is installable on an INSPECTOR control unit and on board all Arca labelling systems equipped with a graphic.


TRACKING

The TRACKING software includes all functions in the Label Management program.
In addition, it allows for complete multilevel traceability of production.
Or better still, the recording of unambiguous identification codes of unit and/or multiple packages (bundles, boxes or pallets) for each lot. TRACKINGTracking also allows for the traceability of batches of raw materials used in production.
The TRACKING PHARMA version is specifically designed for managing multilevel traceability in pharmaceutical environments.

TRACKING and TRACKING PHARMA are also available in the SLIM version, for mono-level traceability (usually unit packages only) and reconciliation, are installable on an INSPECTOR control unit and on board all Arca labeling systems equipped with a graphic interface.


VISUAL WAREHOUSE

The VISUAL WAREHOUSE software allows for the allocation of packages, even automatically, with a graphic representation of the warehouse layout and the status of each location It can manage warehouse loading according to a “chaotic” mode (for the optimization of spaces) or by type of goods or other customizable logics.
It can manage the unloading of each location with FIFO/LIFO criteria or by specific commission. VISUAL WAREHOUSE is complementary to the Tracking (loading) and Delivery (unloading) programs.


CODE VERIFY & CODE VERIFY INSPECTOR


Competitive markets impose increasingly greater productivity.
The growing variety of products (formats, versions, fragrances, flavors, etc) increases the number of packagings managed.
Ongoing changes to graphics, linked to promotions and constantly evolving legislation, further complicate matters on the packaging line.
In such a complex scenario, production is subject to a multitude of risks:
Unreadable barcodes/2D codes
Mix ups of unit packages
"Logistical" mix ups The most effective and economic solution is to automatically check 100% of the packages during production, inspecting all barcodes/ 2D codes for:
CODE VERIFY & INSPECTOR

The Code Verification software, installed on an Inspector control unit, is the most advanced solution for managing barcode and 2D code scanners:
1) code readability check
2) conformity check of the code read
3) analysis of the grade of readability
4) check of conformity of the code read to a family of preset codes
5) management of a possible product ejector
6) display of hardware alarm conditions
7) possibility of setting up to 5 conventional print quality ranges
8) possibility of setting the activation of alarms and advance alarms, in relation to preset limits
9) graphic display
10) graphic representation of the barcode’s actual positioning on the product
11) graphic representation of the barcode’s actual positioning on the product
12) management of the barcode scanner’s parameterization
13) recording of readings and important production data
