The invention provides a tamper resistant assembly that that securely contains a valuable material. The assembly has a container for holding the valuable material, an optional carrier that contains the container, one or more cover components that enclose the valuable material in the container, and one or more labels having a plurality of devices that reveal tampering by distortion of at least one of the plurality of devices. The label(s) are positioned so that dislodging a cover component causes a detectable distortion in at least one of the plurality of devices, thereby revealing tampering with the assembly. In one embodiment the label can be affixed partially to a surface of a cover component and partially to a surface of the container or the optional carrier. Also disclosed are methods of detecting tampering and method of manufacturing a temper-resistant assembly. Because the assembly allows a remote validator to validate the assembly prior to providing essential instructions or authorization for conducting procedures on valuable material contained by the assembly, the manufacturer is assured that its procedures are being provided only to authorized persons.

The invention relates to an applicator device for applying wrapping labels (13) to packagings (15), having a transverse transport device (19) which is configured for transporting a label, which is first of all dispensed by a label dispenser, in particular a label printer (11), in the vertical direction into an intermediate position, from the intermediate position transversely with respect to the vertical into an application position, in which the label can be received by a packaging which is running through.

A method for applying at least one enclosing element to a flat product composition wherein the enclosing element is subsequently applied around a selected edge of the product composition in a perpendicular manner with respect to said edge so as to rest against the product composition. A reliable operation that is independent of the type of enclosing element is achieved in that the selected edge of the product composition is moved forward along a transporting path, the enclosing element is held ready at a specified point of the transporting path so as to intersect the transporting path, the selected edge of the product composition is moved past the specified point, and at the same time the selected edge drives the enclosing element that is held ready.

The invention relates to a method for assembling a stack (10) consisting of single or multilayered pre-products (1115) of equal or different sizes, said pre-products lying freely one on top of the other, wherein the stack (10) has two outer pre-products (11, 15). According to the method, the stack (10) is given a cohesion that facilitates later handling. The cohesion is achieved in a very simple and flexibly applicable manner by providing the slack (10) to be assembled in a first step, said stack consisting of pre-products (11-15) that lie freely one on top of the other, and by attaching at least one connecting element (17) to an edge (16) of the stack (10) in a second step such that said element overlaps the two outer pre-products (11, 15) of the stack (10) in a clamping manner.

The invention provides a tape material applicator and computer program capable of applying relatively short tape materials and reducing the difficulty in tape application. The tape material applicator unit 60, mounted on the sixth axis of a robot, includes a disc-shaped member 50 and a roller swing mechanism 80. The tape material clamping device 200, attached to the disc-shaped member 50, clamps one end 304 of the tape material 300, while the guide 100, attached to the roller swing mechanism 80, holds the other end 305 of the tape material 300. The roller 90 presses the tape material 300 onto the workpiece 40. The tape material 300 is applied from one end 304 to the other end 305 along the application path by pressing with the roller 90, while maintaining the unattached part of the tape material 300 elevated from the workpiece 40.

A sheet sticking apparatus 10 includes holding means 13 provided so as to be capable of holding an adhesive sheet S, and sticking means 12 that sticks the adhesive sheet S to an adherend surface W0 of an adherend W. The sticking means 12 includes a first sticking portion 15 capable of sticking a part of the adhesive sheet S held by the holding means 13 to a first sticking surface by pressure, and a second sticking portion 16 that sticks portions of the adhesive sheet S that have not yet been stuck by using the first sticking portion 15 to second sticking surfaces by pressure.

A method and a warehouse for handling items stored in a warehouse by a first actor, and are removed from the warehouse by a second actor, wherein, upon an automated receiving of the items by the warehouse, an individual item-specific or actor-specific identification is detected, inputted or generated by the warehouse, wherein the items are associated with one of the actors by assigning the individual identification and are stored according to the association in the warehouse, wherein the individual identification contains information about the storage conditions of the item and that the items delivered to the warehouse are received by a handling system and are stored according to the individual identification under different storage conditions in a shelf system of the warehouse.

The disclosure relates to a packaging that is made from a packaging base for receiving a product and a lid part glued to opposite side walls of the packaging base, wherein the lid part comprises a self-adhesive label peeled off a carrier tape and having an underside provided with an adhesive exclusively in regions that are glued to the opposite side walls of the packaging base part. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a method for producing a packaging.
