Case Study
Linen Manufacturer Automates and Adds Printer Applicator
PREVIOUS PROCESS: A manufacturer of linens and towels was automating their inventory/distribution process. The company had been manually bundling, shrink-wrapping and loading towels into totes to be transferred to inventory. A bundle ticket was placed on each stack prior to shrink wrapping. In order to begin automating this process, the company purchased overhead scanners to read these bundle tickets. However, the tickets could not be scanned through the shrink wrap. This required placement of a sortation label on the outside of the shrink-wrap. The sortation label consisted of a barcode, product number and product description.
