Label printer, converter, and fabricator Labels West, Inc., Woodinville, WA, specializes in the custom production of high-quality, multi-color adhesive labels, primarily for food, beverage, and personal care products. The company handles hundreds of labeling jobs simultaneously, and each job has its own drawings and specifications.

So whenever label specifications needed to be modified or added, the Labels West personnel ended up having to spend hours searching through job documentation folders to ensure that the proper revisions were made. This adjustment procedure often was time-consuming and costly.

To improve efficiencies, Labels West began researching job tracking solutions that incorporate barcode technology. The company decided to install the automated CheckMate job tracking system supplied by Dynamic Systems, Inc., a software developer that specializes in data collection. Installed in July 2010, the CheckMate JobData software runs on individual PCs on the plant floor. A Honeywell Voyager scanner is attached to the PCs for increased accuracy.
