Reliable identification of components, containers, and load carriers – through manufacturing, assembly, and logistics.
In the automotive supply industry, large quantities of different components move through production, assembly, warehousing and logistics. At the same time, containers and load carriers are constantly being refilled, repositioned and moved between different process areas.
To ensure that parts, orders and containers remain clearly assigned, the labelling must be reliably maintained throughout the process.
Industrial labels establish this link between the physical object and the digital process data. They can identify components, assemblies, containers and load carriers using text, barcodes or RFID.
Depending on the application, self-adhesive labels, hang tags or specialised labelling solutions for reusable containers are used.
Different components, variants and assemblies must remain clearly distinguishable throughout manufacturing and assembly.
Individually printable labels carry relevant part, order and process data directly on the component or its packaging.
Returnable containers, small load carriers and other load carriers are repeatedly refilled and moved between different process areas.
Robust labelling uniquely identifies containers and supports their allocation to material, orders or processes.
Components move between workstations, processing steps, intermediate storage areas and assembly zones.
Barcodes or RFID link the physical object with the corresponding process information.
Friction, contamination, oil, temperature and repeated handling can affect conventional labels.
Label material, printing method and adhesive are matched to the surface, environmental conditions and required service life.
In the automotive supply industry, components, assemblies and containers pass through several stages. Manufacturing, assembly, temporary storage, material preparation and dispatch all place different demands on labelling and data capture.
Components and assemblies must remain uniquely identifiable throughout the entire process. At the same time, KLT containers, reusable containers and load carriers regularly change their contents and location of use.
Barcodes or RFID link the physical object to the associated part, order and process data and support end-to-end identification from production through to dispatch.
Components, reusable containers and different manufacturing processes each have their own specific labelling requirements. The following questions address typical issues arising in production and logistics.
This depends on the surface, component geometry, environmental conditions and the respective process.
Depending on the application, self-adhesive labels, hang tags or specially adapted identification solutions can be used.
Yes. Containers and load carriers can be given a unique identification that remains independent of the contents currently being transported.
Variable information relating to the current contents or order can also be added.
Yes. A distinction can be made between the permanent identity of the container and variable information relating to its current contents.
This keeps the load carrier uniquely identifiable while material or order data can change.
Depending on the application, information such as item number, component number, batch, order, variant, customer, quantity or container number can be included.
Barcodes or RFID can also be integrated.
Odette labelling is used in the automotive industry for the standardised identification of packaging and transport units between suppliers and customers.
Examples include the traditional Odette Transport Label (OTL) and the Global Transport Label (GTL) with an Odette profile. The labels can contain specified logistics data as well as machine-readable codes.
The required format and data depend on the specifications of the respective customer or OEM.
Yes. Layout, format, material and printing can be adapted to specified labelling requirements.
The applicable standard or customer-specific specification for the respective supply process should be determined in advance.
Yes. A visible label can contain human-readable text and an optical code while also incorporating RFID.
This provides different identification and data capture options within the same labelling concept.
RFID enables identification without direct line of sight.
Depending on the process, containers can be identified during goods receipt, relocation or goods dispatch, for example. Depending on the system configuration, several labelled objects may also be captured in a single reading process.
Metal has a significant effect on the radio-frequency conditions of RFID systems.
For metallic components or load carriers, suitable RFID transponders, positioning, spacing and the reading process must therefore be adapted to the respective application.
Yes. Labels can, for example, be produced directly during goods receipt, manufacturing, assembly or material staging and then captured during subsequent process steps.
The most suitable solution depends on when the identity is created and at which points it needs to be read later in the process.
Components, containers and load carriers each have different requirements in terms of material, fastening and data carriers. Together, we’ll analyse your processes and develop a suitable labelling solution – from barcodes and Odette to RFID.
We offer innovative labels and customised identification systems tailored to the specific needs of our customers. Our many years of experience in industrial labelling and our high quality standards make us a trusted partner in a wide range of industries.
