Logopak keeps the spirits up.

Logopak, inventors of print and apply labeling have been awarded a substantial contract for the supply of case and pallet labeling solutions to integrate into a track and trace project being implemented by one of Scotland’s premier whiskey producers.

The contract includes the supply of sixteen (16) Logopak 515 case / carton labeling systems with integrated Sick CLV 400 scanners for the application of an outer label to each case of whiskey on each of 16 production lines. Data printed on this label will include, Works order number, Lot code, Sequential number; all of which will be replicated in a bar code (either EAN 128 or Datamatrix), which will be scanned by a second scanner mounted at the infeed to each palletizer. This data will then be stored in the PLC and associated with a specific pallet base for later use in the traceability of pallets and cases.

Later, each pallet arrives at one of 6 stretch wrappers in two production halls.  After wrapping, a GS1 compliant pallet label is applied to two adjacent faces of each pallet as follows.   On arrival at one of the 6 Logopak 920PF pallet labelers being installed, the data held in the line PLC from the scan already taken at the palletizer infeed (all the case numbers on that pallet and the pallet base number) will be associated with a new and unique SSCC number, self generated by each 920PF labeller.

This data is returned through the Logopak LEAP controller to an “INVAR” warehouse management software solution being installed and gives full tracking of product (bottle) to carton (6 or 12 bottles) through to pallet (up to 60 cases) using each case number and SSCC pallet number.
