Many customers come to FOX IV with an idea to automate a label application that seems to defy classic automation.  With 28 years of experience engineering labeling solutions across all categories of industry and stages of the supply network, FOX IV has often already solved most of the challenges facing non-standard automation.  All that's left to save the customer time and money is to configure FOX IV solutions to the new specs.

FOX IV's large bag print/apply turnkey system is a great example of putting FOX IV's experience to work.  Pre-filled bags of various sizes are transferred from a stacking dock to the label printer applicator, labeled and returned to a stacking receptacle.

Adding scales, scanners, reject stations, warehouse management software and verification systems to a turnkey system is par for the course.  Take a look around your workplace to see where automation could show immediate benefits and help you reallocate resources, then contact FOX IV to see if we can help you automate the process --  chances are we can!
