An inbound string handler allows for full configuration of inbound data like quantity, SSCC, SKU, etc. Data not present within the inbound string can be held in a local database for insertion into the label layout.
The main operation of the software is similar to the server-based/integrated system:
1. Pallet arrives in front of the pallet labeller and an inbound string provides the pallet data for the
label.
2. Any missing information may be looked up in the local database and included in the label layout.
3. Label layout is sent to the printer.
4. Labels are applied and verified by a barcode scanner.
5. Pallet released and a digital “release” signal is raised
to line control.
If an automatic labeller is not responding then the print can be re-routed to a desktop printer controlled by the same AutoCoding Pallet terminal.
