Like many companies in the manufacturing industry, They were exploring options to increase sales and profitability of its products by incorporating a value-added feature. One of the value-added features they chose to implement was the use of automated data collection. They believed, adding a bar coded label to a product in the manufacturing process would help reduce, and possibly eliminate costly errors associated with manual transcription of human-readable part numbers.

AbeTech was asked to help design a solution that would print and accurately apply customized labels to the desired units as they move through the clients existing "handling system." After determining that implementing an automated labeling system within their manufacturing process was the right choice for their goals. The labeling unit needed to fit within the space constrains of their existing equipment as well as keep up with the 85 product per minute rate the client requested.

AbeTech's labeling systems department was able to draw on their years of experience to develop a solution that would fit the client's needs and budget. By first taking the time to evaluate the entire request, asking the right questions and working through potential pitfalls at the beginning of the process; AbeTech was able to design a custom label application solution that met the space requirements of the client. Along with meeting the space restrictions through careful design and placement of the various labeling system components AbeTech was able to meet the speed requirements also.
