Name
Plates, Caution Labels and Operation Label Printing Systems
TOSHIBA TEC has a range of monochrome printers and color printers that
are ideal for name plates, caution labels and operation labels. The following
are some examples of these types of installations.
 
Comparison
of the system before and after installation.
Before Installation
Situation:
Pre-printed labels are stocked each models and each language. During production,
the serial numbers have to be mechanically stamped on to the pre-printed
label stock and then applied to each model. This number also had to link
to the Warranty documents
The following issues were the biggest source
of nuisance :
1) We needed room enough to have two to three shelves for storing 47 different
labels.
2) We spent a lot of time exchanging the labels for the various models.
3) We had to have an accounting system to track the usage of these different
label stocks, and tie this in with the production schedule and the shipping
terms.
4) We are under obligation to print a "production month" per half a year
and year. We had to discard the labels left over when the period changed.
5) It required a lot of labor to adjust the numbers of the printing machine
manually.
6) We had to control the production procedures in the center of the production
sections.
After Installation
Situation:
We can print on plain labels the complete information. We print a label
for each model.
Improved situation and Efficiency gains
1) We can store all the required labels in two cardboard boxes as we only
require plain labels. Therefore we have saved a lot of space.
2) All we have to do change the printing content even when we alter models.
We save a lot of time by not having to exchange labels.
3) We have reduced the time spent on print-ordering and stock-control
for the labels.
4) The "production month" is automatically changed by the computers. The
result of which means we do not need to discard labels.
5) Synchronizing with the production number in the warranty documents,
we have reduced the time spent as we can print labels corresponding to
the work by inputting the production numbers into the workstation.
6) We can carry out better production control and improve the working
accuracy dramatically.
