Pallet load control by means of multi-label scanning

Pallet commissioning control for efficiency and quality

Quality assurance in distribution using multilabel scanning is about automatically checking and documenting pallet loading. Time-consuming individual work steps and error-prone, manual final inspections can therefore be eliminated. Possible areas of application are:

  • Checking pallet loads before delivery (incoming goods inspection)
  • Control of entire product batches
  • Checking pallet loads before delivery (outgoing goods inspection, shipping inspection)
  • etc.

This solution is particularly suitable for the following sectors:

  • Pharmaceutical and supply industry
  • Food & Beverage
  • Distribution logistics

Your advantages

Safe

Correct deliveries

Incorrect deliveries cause high costs and expenses. Our multi-label scanning solution reduces the risk of incorrect deliveries and therefore also the costs of errors. Every code on the stacked pallet is precisely recorded, ensuring seamless control and traceability. This not only increases adherence to delivery dates and delivery reliability, but also strengthens the trust of your customers.

Efficient

Time saving

Our automated multi-scan applications help you save valuable time. Compared to manual checks, work steps are carried out up to 50% faster.
This increase in efficiency allows them to concentrate on value-adding activities and thus avoid wasting valuable resources on time-consuming manual checks.

Compliant with standards

Proof of compliance

In many industries, such as pharmaceuticals, strict standards and compliance requirements are essential. Our solution not only ensures compliance with these standards, it also sets standards in digital traceability.
Each scanned code, including batch, production date and best-before date, is stored in our autfactory test bench software.

What is checked with our multi-label scanning systems?

The main purpose of our optical pallet commissioning control is to ensure that the pallets contain the correct items, that they are properly assembled and that they meet the specified requirements.

Item identification:
To ensure that the correct items are packed for shipping, barcodes, QR codes or other identification features are checked. This is achieved by a 360° scan of the commissioned pallet.

Loading stability:
Assessing the stability of the load is crucial to ensure that the items are securely packed and arranged. This minimizes the risk of damage during transport and ensures reliable delivery.

Quality control:
Checking and documenting the condition of the picked containers is also a key quality step in outgoing goods. A concrete example of this is cardboard boxes with damaged corners or sides.

Data tracking with our autfactory test bench software

Our optical pallet commissioning control becomes even more powerful thanks to seamless integration with our advanced autfactory test bench software. Here are some of the additional benefits that this connection offers:

Seamless data traceability (codes)
autfactory enables comprehensive traceability through the seamless recording of all scanned codes. This digital recording not only ensures compliance with quality standards, but also enables efficient tracking of product batches and data.

Image storage for verification purposes
The integration of autfactory enables images of the load to be saved for verification purposes. This function serves as visual proof that the goods were free of damage on delivery. This is particularly important in order to have clear evidence in the event of disputes or queries.

Load protrusion control with autfactory
Load protrusion control is simplified by autfactory, as tolerances can easily be set. This ensures that the loading is not only of high quality, but also meets the required safety standards.

Direct data link to your ERP system
autfactory enables a direct data link to your ERP system. This integration ensures that basic information such as the number of cartons on the pallet and the label match is retrieved directly from the ERP system. This prevents goods from being delivered without all the necessary information. In addition, autfactory automatically checks the readability of the codes and gives warnings about poorly readable or unreadable codes, which contributes significantly to error prevention.

Inspection process with key facts: optical pallet commissioning control

Scanning process during transportation or wrapping process
Our solution enables seamless scanning of all external codes during transportation or wrapping. This continuous monitoring ensures that codes are recorded precisely in real time, which increases the reliability and accuracy of the entire pallet commissioning control process.

Generous scanning volume
Our solution offers a scanning volume of up to
1200 x 1000 x 2000mm (length/width/height). These generous dimensions allow the system to be used in a wide range of industries and guarantee comprehensive recording of all relevant information, regardless of the size of the pallets to be checked.

Our multi-label scanning solution supports a wide range of code types, including EAN128, Code39, QR, DataMatrix, PDF147 and many more. This versatility ensures that the inspection can be applied to different products and industries and provides comprehensive coverage of all relevant identification features.

Precise listing and storage of codes including position
Our solution goes beyond simple code recognition and offers precise listing and storage of the codes detected, including their position on the pallet. This detailed data acquisition not only enables seamless data tracking, but also efficient fault analysis and rectification if necessary.
