Labeling

The entry-level model in the KES Robotic Labeler Series.

• The entry-level model in the KES Robotic Labeler Series.
• Its function: place labels accurately and consistently on cases, trays, or pallets as they exit a packaging or palletizing line.
• Ideal for applications where applying a label is sufficient and no further automated verification is required.
• Offers the same ease-of-use and reliability as all KES labelers, with a user-friendly interface and seamless integration into a broader KES automation line.

Use-case: high-speed lines where labeling speed and consistency are the priority, and downstream manual scanning or verification suffices.

Basic label application plus reading to make sure the label is placed correctly and is legible.

• Adds a “read and track” function to the basic label application.
• After placing the label, the system reads the label (e.g., barcode or other identifier) and logs the placement — ensuring that the label has actually been placed (no dropped or skipped labels).
• Provides an audit trail to confirm that each unit load has been labeled as intended.
• Useful for operations requiring documentation that labeling occurred, but not necessarily verifying exact label content.

Use-case: facilities where compliance or internal SOPs demand confirmation of label placement (for example, before pallet stretch-wrapping or shipping), but label content verification may occur later in the process (e.g., via a warehouse management system).

The KRL1V includes all the functionality of the first two models and adds verification that ties back to the facility’s load tracking system, ensuring that the correct label has been applied to the correct load.

• The “full-feature” labeling solution. In addition to placing and reading/tracking the label, the KRL1V verifies that the correct label has been applied.
• This means the system checks that the barcode or identifier matches the intended load — reducing risk of mislabeling or mis-shipped loads.
• Fully compatible with facilities’ load-tracking or labeling software and data systems. This tight integration supports end-to-end traceability, from packaging to palletizing to shipping.
• Once verified, the system logs the result and can trigger error handling or operator alerts if a mismatch is detected.

Use-case: high-compliance industries, high-volume distribution centers, or any facility where mislabeling carries high cost or risk (e.g., regulatory compliance, recalls, inventory accuracy, or shipment traceability).
