A pallet tracking and label data
management system that allows
different pallet loads from different
production lines to be handled
automatically on a single stretchwrapping
and labelling line, using
pre-set criteria, has been developed
by Logopak.

The first Logotrac installation was
at a UK paper tissue manufacturer
where pallets from a number of lines
converge on a single stretchwrapper.

Before palletising, each bundle of
tissues is identified with an EAN 128
barcode label that includes retailer
codes, shipping information, and
programming instructions for the
stretchwrapper. As each pallet enters
the stretchwrapper
it is
identified to the
machine,
allowing it
automatically to
adopt the pre-set
wrap pattern for
the product and
pallet stacking
format.
