Should Your Business Invest in Automatic Labelling Machines?

Posted on: 23 November 2021

Does your company use a lot of labels? Maybe you are labelling chemical compounds, electronic components, partially completed mechanical assemblies, or even commercial products you will be selling. Labels can play a vital part in many aspects of a business, but while they are vital, it is also possible that label creation can create an operational bottleneck and delay your operations considerably. The most practical solution to labelling problems is to invest in automatic labelling machines. Here are three ways that automatic labelling machines can enhance your business processes.

Increased professionalism

Have you tried to write notes and leave them with trays of product to identify them? Notes can easily be misplaced, leading to confusion and possibly to catastrophic error. Are you currently writing labels by hand? Writing labels by hand may work for a few labels, but it doesn't take long for cramps to develop in your hand or for your legible writing to devolve into an illegible scrawl. If you are sticking labels onto the product, you must ensure that they are straight, unwrinkled and legible. Applying labels manually isn't easy. While you may get a few labels perfectly correct, it won't be long before some errors creep in and mistakes are made in both label content and placement. With automatic labelling machines, you can be sure that the label will be placed perfectly every time and that the label reads exactly as it should. You can even check batches of labels with a scanner to ensure that no mistake has been made.

Increase productivity

No doubt all your team are hard-working and industrious, but they can only work for a comparatively short while before they get tired and need to take a break. The more hours that they work, the more likelihood there is that they will become tired, work more slowly and make mistakes. Automatic labelling machines do not suffer from fatigue. They will keep working at the same pace throughout the day, no matter how long it has been since they have enjoyed a break.

Keep costs in check

Increased throughput and less wastage will translate into lower overall costs for your business. Automatic labelling machines can make your company more productive while driving your operational costs lower and ensuring that your business remains competitive. Instead of relying on error-prone humans, you can trust automatic labelling machines to reproduce the correct label every time it is needed.

My Manufacturing Blog

The world of manufacturing is fascinating. I was first introduced to this world by my uncle who works at a local manufacturing plant. While I was still at school, my uncle invited me to attend work with him as part of my work experience placement. I was away on my work experience for two weeks and I can honestly say that I loved every minute of it. Since that time, I had been having long chats with my uncle so I could learn all I needed to know about the industrial and manufacturing sector. I decided to start this blog so I could share some of my new-found knowledge.
