Print and Apply Labeling Automation

Pressured to Process a high volume of small orders within a compressed period of time—and all while ensuring high levels of accuracy, quality, and compliance—the modern warehouse is feeling the direct impacts of e-commerce, omni-channel, finalmile, and next-day deliveries. This mission-critical link in the supply chain is also being asked to do more with less, and all in the context of the nation’s tightest labor market in 50+ years.

The good news is that the shippers who put technology and automation at the forefront of their fulfillment and distribution strategies are winning the game and even coming out ahead. The not-so-good news is that many companies are struggling under the weight of aging, proprietary processes and machinery that keep them from adapting to this “new normal” operating environment.

Within the four walls of the warehouse, the order picking, packing, and labeling process has become a focal point for companies that create, stock, and/or distribute goods to a customer base whose tastes and preferences change almost daily.

Being able to balance speed with precision and quality is a “must have” for companies across all industries, with labeling playing an important role in that overall mission.
