How flexible weighing, labeling helps Laubscher Cheese keep up with customer demands
Fairbanks Scales' user-friendly system converted daily production totals from a time-consuming manual process to one that requires a simple click of a button.
Laubscher Cheese Co. was looking for a way to improve its product labeling and tracking capabilities. Currently, the firm collects data directly from its packaging lines, tracks production runs and uses production data to manage its business. To keep up with changing customer labeling and packaging demands, Laubscher wanted to upgrade its existing manual hand-written system. By introducing automation and advanced technology, Laubscher greatly increased its ability to track all production items and monitor how much is being cut daily.
Laubscher selected the Fairbanks Scales FB3000 instrument with LabelBank/DataBank Rapid Bar Code Labelling System, along with an industrial barcode printer and a set of labels, which consist of a unit label, pallet label and summary label. The user-friendly system, manufactured by Fairbanks Scales, Inc., Kansas City, Mo., was easily programmed to their specific needs and converted daily production totals from a time-consuming manual process to one that requires a simple click of a button on the computer, while offering sufficient information for all production needs.
