This new device is distinguished by the integration of a robotic arm enabling labels of various sizes to be applied to large-scale packaging, such as pallets of chemical products. This robotic arm accesses the different faces of the containers, a capability inaccessible to conventional applicators.
Users can apply multiple labels to the same product, meeting safety and compliance standards for color labeling, especially for hazardous products. The robustness of labels is guaranteed by their compliance with BS5609 resistance standards, essential for products subjected to harsh environments.
Over and above regulatory requirements, Etirobot meets the growing demand for personalization, with direct color printing on labels. This enables companies to apply logos, graphic elements or specific safety messages, reinforcing brand image while meeting compliance requirements. This flexibility of use is an asset for industrial sectors requiring fast, adaptable processes.
Alongside Etirobot, Barcodis is expanding its range of TTO printers to meet GS1's new traceability standards. Thermal transfer printing technology, renowned for its precision and durability, is used to print enhanced QR Codes. These enhanced QR Codes are gradually replacing EAN13 codes, and provide access to detailed product information, enhancing transparency and information for the consumer.
This range, covering print widths from 32 to 128 mm, adapts to a variety of packaging substrates, from flexible films to labels, guaranteeing optimum legibility of printed information.
The transition from traditional barcodes to augmented QR codes poses technological and logistical challenges for manufacturers. By 2027, these companies will need to have adopted this new standard in order to meet transparency requirements for product information. Barcodis's new TTO printing solutions enable smooth integration of this transition, ensuring optimum compatibility with augmented QR Codes.
