Print and apply labellers automate traceability coding for enhanced supply chain visibility 

The growing need for traceability within global supply chains is fuelling demand for reliable product labelling solutions that promote quick and accurate data sharing. 

Now Domino Printing Sciences announces the launch of its new Mx-Series print and apply labelling machines.

The Mx-Series for fully integrated, automated, GS1-compliant coding of products and pallets.

Feedback from extended customer testing, which took place at sites across Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands, highlighted two key benefits that specifically resonated with Domino’s test customers: the printer’s high-speed variable data printing capabilities, up to ten times faster than previous generation print and apply labellers, and enhanced connectivity options to facilitate data sharing.

The Mx-Series printers offer variable data capabilities, and Industry-4.0 connectivity, for data collection and sharing across supply chains. Advanced connectivity and configuration options include machine vision for automated code inspection and validation; and coding automation for enhanced data sharing, including integration into factory MES and ERP systems.

As all production lines are unique, printers in the Mx-Series range has been developed to suit a range of different production environments, and with a smaller overall footprint compared with previous print and apply labellers for easy integration. Printers are available as both left- and right-hand options, with options for 4-in and 6-in printheads, and both tamp and swing applicators, with variants providing different running modes to suit different production applications. The company is expected to announce more customisable features, including additional applicator types and further connectivity options, in the coming months.
