Label Printer Applicator for Test Sample Identification
PREVIOUS PROCESS:
A Research Institute, a division of a large pharmaceutical company, serves as a clinical testing facility for products under development.With the assistance of an engineering group, the institute was designing a system to measure, package and identify test samples.
The system needed to measure a predetermined amount of animal feed and the product to be tested, dispense the product into a bag, seal the bag then apply a 2" x 2" identification label. The label had to indicate the date, study number as well as the feed and dosage amounts.
ID TECHNOLOGY PROPOSAL OR SOLUTION:
ID Technology worked closely with both the research institute and the engineering firm to design a labeling system to match all requirements.
A Label Printer Applicator was chosen to print and apply the necessary labels. Custom mounting hardware was then devised to integrate the applicator with the other system components.
Label Wizard software was used to create, store and download label formats to the industrial inkjet printer.
Due to the large amount of dust from the animal feed, an environmental enclosure cabinet was used to prevent contamination and wear on the label printer applicator.
