Overview
X-Press Pal (tm) is a print and apply labeling automation system. It is designed to easily integrate with existing pick, pack, and ship lines to eliminate the time and labor associated with manual manifesting, labeling and shipping operations.
Problem/Application
This company needed a cost-effective, yet sturdy frame to complete the design of this machine. They were looking for more automation to offer a greater time savings.
Solution
Faztek worked together in the design of this machine. Strong 1.5” x 1.5” and 1.5” x 3” T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusion profiles accounted for most of the standard automation package offered below, along with joining plates, corner gussets and anchor fasteners to hold it together securely. Heavy-duty floor mounts were used to provide a secure seat on the conveyor. This unit also includes an in-line scale, print and apply applicator, barcode scanners conveyor and controls to automate labeling and manifesting at up to 14 cartons per minute.
Conclusion
After installation and a quick test run, it was apparent the design of this machine provided a perfect platform for the shipping industry. After the addition of the X-Press PAL (tm), they eliminated time with manual manifesting, labeling and shipping operations. Strong, sturdy, modular and cost-effective, these units will provide years of low maintenance performance. Best of all, Faztek’s framing system is completely modular, allowing for future modifications.
