Smart label
Picking and assembly
Smart labels display the order or specification data digitally and, if necessary, direct feedback about the status of the completion can optionally be given.
The presentation of the transmitted data on the display is based in a reduced form on the previous presentation on the order documents, but with all the information necessary for processing.
The Smart Labels are radio controlled and battery operated. They have a bistable display as well as optional buttons and LEDs. They can be networked and localized with one another via the router and server systems.
Smart labels are mostly attached to small load carriers and show the necessary information on electronic displays. The size of the display of the smart label depends on the size of the small parts container Are defined.
A feedback or confirmation of the carried out process takes place via an integrated button on the label or via an external device such as a smartphone or tablet, which is connected to the Smart Label system

to be assembled.
The software is also an adaptation
simple. The management software of the smart label can be used with existing
Merchandise management systems are connected.
Advantages of the "Smart Label"
Most picking and assembly processes are still controlled with paper documents. This is where our smart labels come in, which digitally display the order or specification data and optionally provide direct feedback on the status of the completion.
The smart labels replace and combine the functions of barcodes, RFID, plug-in cards, cover letters, order documents, parts lists, input and intermediate devices and similar systems.

Cost Effectiveness
In a medium-sized factory with around 100 employees, the time savings for the elimination of printing, output and distribution of paper documents, handling during processing, the return of the documents and their input into a merchandise management system are between 45 and 75 minutes per day .
In addition, there is additional time expenditure in special cases, which are not as rare as:
Conversion of a "normal" order into a rush order, and
the search for material containers.
Here, too, the time savings are between 3 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours 20 minutes per day.
Overall, in this case one comes to the relief of around 63% of the time required by a worker. Assuming full costs of around € 50,000 per year here, the time relief corresponds to around € 31,000 per year
In this example, the investment of around 50,000 euros amortized in a little less than 2 years.
The greatest effect, however, does not lie in a cost reduction through the time savings. By specifying changes and receiving feedback in real time, the picking and assembly processes can be controlled much more efficiently. This reduces idle time and greatly increases the degree of utilization of the available capacity. In this way, more orders can be processed in the same time with the same equipment in the warehouse and assembly, here increases of 15 - 35% can be achieved. This means a direct increase in the contribution margin and profit.
