Systems for automatic labeling and methods for using automatic labeling systems are disclosed. A system can include a camera, and a controller including one or more processors coupled to one or more memories. The system can acquire an image of a sample object via the camera, and identify first and second tokens depicted in the image or positioned over the image of the sample object. The system can designate a location of the first token as a target label location at which a label is to be applied to the sample object, and designate a location of the second token as an identifying information location that is identifiable to determine an orientation of the sample object.
