Serialization and traceability

APT Labeling

Print, verify and apply labels within one coordinated process. APT Labeling is a linear labeling system for round containers, combining print inspection, label-presence checking and product rejection.

Application

Variable information is printed onto the label and checked before accepted products leave the machine. Sensor-based label presence checks and product tracking help direct verified products to the outfeed and non-verified products to the reject bin.

Key features

  • Integrated thermal-transfer printing, barcode verification and character recognition.
  • Label presence control and pneumatic or mechanical rejection.
  • Guarded enclosure with access doors and safety switches.
