Logistics: Labeling hazardous goods in the warehouse
In Landsberg, the drugstore chain Rossmann uses cab's Hermes+ printing and labeling systems on its conveyor systems. Equipped with stroke applicators, they apply the limited quantity labels prescribed by law to picking containers - automatically and with a quality rate of 99 percent.

Instead of labeling the containers on the conveyor belt as they pass through, the decision was made to convert the existing conveyor technology so that the containers are stopped at the labeling station by a locking flap. The label is pressed onto the container by a pressure stamp. The container then continues on the conveyor belt at an accelerated speed.

Signalling technology: Typing of products
If you enter the workshop or warehouse of a machine manufacturer or a company in the automation industry, there is a good chance that signal towers or lights will visually indicate the operating status of machines or production lines. Alternatively, horns, sirens or buzzers provide acoustic alerts to faults or overloads. Werma plans and manufactures over 3,500 variants of these products at the company headquarters in Rietheim-Weilheim. The printing of nameplate and packaging labels plays a key role in the production and assembly of signaling devices. Since 2012, this has been realized with cab printers of the types A+, EOS and MACH4.

Textile management: continuous labeling of laundry packages
Around 80,000 items of laundry and 20,000 items of workwear and protective clothing are processed every day at Geiger Textil's headquarters in Bad Säckingen. RFID enables automated textile management. Integrated into the radio-based identification process, cab Hermes+ systems print customer labels and label laundry packages fully automatically as they pass through.

One requirement is to dynamically label different package heights, widths and geometries within the conveyor line. The parcels are soft-packed and sometimes arrive at the labeling station one after the other on the conveyor belt at a very fast rate.

Automotive supply: Fiber lasers encode gas generators
ZF TRW develops and manufactures gas and micro gas generators for airbag modules. High demands must be met during their production in Aschau am Inn. Data recorded during quality assurance must be evaluated and made available for later documentation. The coding must make it possible to trace where the gas generator was manufactured and which value creation or logistics chains it has passed through. In the fully automated assembly lines, the controls of the FL marking lasers, including the beam source, are installed in 19-inch housings. A code is lasered onto the metal body of the generator. The laser communicates with the system controller on the basis of digital input and output signals.

At Pakstation, fully automated goods labeling systems with Hermes+ printers are used to label goods in kind. © cab

Food packaging: labeling fruit and vegetables
Tomatoes, peppers, lemons, zucchinis, packed in nets or portioned and shrink-wrapped in plastic trays are classic displays in retail and wholesale. Pakstation in Venlo ensures that organic produce is packaged. Here, fruit and vegetables from our own cultivation areas in the surrounding area as well as from Belgium, Spain and Israel are delivered loose, sorted by machine and packaged. It leaves Venlo on trucks to customers, preferably in Germany.

Fully automatic goods labeling systems with Hermes+ printers are used to label the packaged goods. The printers were expanded to include modules for label transfer and integrated into the packing lines for specific applications. Two printing and labeling systems are installed on each line: one classic, the other upside down. This means that passing goods can be labeled from above and below.

At Osiander, goods have largely been labeled with cab label printers since 2011. © cab

Book labeling: Giving books an identity
Goods handling for all Osiander bookstores is handled on an area of 3,000 square meters. In addition, books ordered online, in the stores or by telephone are shipped directly to end customers. Since 2011, the goods have largely been labeled with cab label printers.

The first Osiander stores had already been equipped with devices from the EOS series two years earlier. In the goods center in Tübingen, EOS printers also process labels with fanfold folding at the workstations for customer orders. as
