In one embodiment the present invention comprises a smartphone and encoders for commissioning RFID transponders. The present invention further includes novel systems, devices, and methods for commissioning RFID transponders with unique object class instance numbers without requiring a realtime connection to a serialization database.

The present invention relates to a labelling machine (1) for applying labels (2) to receptacles (3) comprising a web (11) having a succession of decorative patterns (15); a cutting unit (12) configured to cut said web (11) so as to obtain individual labels (2); a conveying means (14) configured to advance the individual labels (2); a control unit (17) configured to control a positioning of the web (11) in relation to a reference station (18); a determination device (19) configured to determine and/or detect a relative positioning of the decorative patterns (15) in relation to the reference station (18); and a removal device (20) configured to remove incorrect labels (2) that are determined and/or detected as a function of the relative positioning of the decorative patterns (15) in relation to the reference station (18). Also included is a method for applying labels (2).

A battery label attachment apparatus for attaching a label to a battery including a label support on which the label is placed, an alignment check part configured to check whether an alignment state of the label is normal or defective, and a label aligning part configured to align the label when the alignment state determined by the alignment check part is defective is provided. A method for attaching a label to a battery is also provided.

A labelling machine comprises a supply spool support for supporting a supply spool comprising label stock; a take-up spool support adapted to take up a portion of the label stock; a movable element which defines a portion of a web path between the supply spool and the take-up spool support; a sensor configured to produce a sensor signal indicative of the position of the movable element; a controller configured to receive the sensor signal and output a brake assembly control signal based upon the sensor signal; and a brake assembly configured to apply a braking force to one of said spool supports based upon the brake assembly control signal, the braking force resisting rotation of said one of said spool supports. The controller is configured to control the brake assembly based upon the sensor signal so as to cause the moveable element to move towards a desired position.

Methods for producing a label for a prescription container having non-prescription specific information pre-printed off-site from the pharmacy by a label supplier. The methods optimize prescription container size by providing the pharmacy with the ability to efficiently print and apply a label to the prescription container with the pre-printed non-prescription specific information for most prescriptions with shorter prescription specific information or to print and apply a label without the non-prescription specific information for prescriptions with longer prescription specific information.

The present invention further includes novel systems, devices, and methods for commissioning RFID transponders with unique object class instance numbers without requiring a realtime connection to a serialization database.

A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for labeling a component for component serialization. The component labeling is initiated, and a label is printed for the component. A collaborative robot or “cobot” retrieves the printed label and moves the label in place for attachment. Iterative views are performed until a tolerance value of the views is reached and the label is attached to the component. Information on the label and other labels are scanned and entered into an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

An object label applicator is provided for the accurate labeling of labels onto objects within a wrapping mechanism of the object label applicator. The object label applicator includes a media feed control solution for detecting whether a label has successfully detached from its lining, and if it is detected that the label has not detached from the lining, a remedial measure is implemented to increase the likelihood of detachment in a subsequent run.

A method of producing a label for a prescription pharmaceutical storage container for holding and dispensing a pharmaceutical for a patient including the steps of providing a label system having a first distinct label section and a second distinct label section; determining whether a length of prescription information and warning information fits entirely on the first distinct label section; upon determining that the length of the prescription information and warning information does not fit entirely on the first distinct label section, printing indicia providing the prescription information on the first distinct label section and at least a portion of the warning information on the second distinct label section; and upon determining that the length of the prescription information fits entirely on the first distinct label section, printing indicia providing the prescription information and the warning information only on the first distinct label section.
