Epson today announced it will be showcasing how its ColorWorks® on-demand color label printers, collaborative robot and vision technology can work together to streamline and automate packaging and fulfillment operations at PACK EXPO International from Oct. 18 to 21 at Booth W-35046. ColorWorks on-demand color label printers enable high-quality, customized color labels when needed, and robotics and automation help streamline tasks such as handling, inspection, packaging and fulfillment.
“Flexibility has become an important part of the packaging process, whether in labeling or automation, enabling personalization and rapid response to changing customer demands,” said, Andrew Kim, product manager, Epson America. “ColorWorks solutions give businesses greater control over their labeling and packaging process, and when coupled with Epson collaborative robots, the flexibility to print high-quality, customized labels and streamline box labeling to improve productivity, manage costs and streamline operations.”
Epson will showcase how its solutions help businesses simplify and streamline packaging and fulfillment operations:
- Maximized Speed, Minimized Effort: The ColorWorks CW-C8000 paired with a label rewinder showcases streamlined workflows and faster label production, from label printing to finished rolls. The integrated solution can help businesses simplify label production, eliminate the need to collect labels by hand and help minimize the waste associated with tangled or damaged output.
- Precision Printing with Automatic Cutting: The ColorWorks CW-C6500A color inkjet label printer is equipped with an auto cutter for easy job separation. Designed for versatile applications, it accommodates labels up to 8.34” wide and offers customization capabilities for labeling and branding products of all sizes.
- Smart, End-of-Line Labeling: The ColorWorks CW-C6000P paired with the AX6 collaborative 6-Axis robot is an automated end-of-line labeling solution for fulfillment operations. Together, the solutions help streamline box labeling, reduce manual handling and improve productivity while providing the flexibility to apply high-quality, on-demand color labels where they’re needed.
- Compact, Pick-and-Place Automation: The T3 All-in-One SCARA robot along with integrated Epson Vision Guide will demonstrate inspection for pick-and-place secondary operations. Offering a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy alternative to traditional slide-based systems, the T3 offers a compact footprint suited for space-constrained environments.
- Innovation with Every Label: The affordable and compact ColorWorks CW-D3800 color label and badge printer is designed for businesses with lower-volume needs, delivering flexibility, simplicity and professional results. Paired with Epson’s Label Boost® software suite, businesses can easily design and print labels with Label Boost Designer1 or manage visitor check-in and badges with Label Boost Concierge. For higher-volume applications, the ColorWorks CW-C6000P with Label Boost Shipper provides a flexible solution for producing customized, professional-quality shipping labels in color with added branding, coupons and promotions.
- Anywhere, Anytime Labeling: The ColorWorks CW-C4000 and the ColorWorks Print App allow businesses to print vibrant, high-quality labels directly from a mobile device, making professional label printing fast, easy and efficient. When paired with the Newcastle mobile powered cart, businesses can label without cables using a battery-powered mobile cart in a warehouse environment.
- Liner-Free Thermal Labeling: When it comes to extensive liner-free media support, including high-adhesive labels, the OmniLink® TM-L100 liner-free thermal label printer is engineered for use with a wide range of devices in virtually any industry, including hospitality and retail.
