Anyone who cuts fabric from rolls is familiar with the problem: after a few cuts, nobody knows exactly how much material is left on the master roll. Customer rolls are allocated incorrectly, remaining stock is estimated during stock-taking, and complaints to the manufacturer fail due to a lack of batch data. NEPATA solves this problem with automatic label printing in its proprietary control software, ConvertPlus2.
How label printing works with ConvertPlus2
ConvertPlus2 controls NEPATA rewinding and slitting machines and integrates Film Logistics directly with your ERP system. After each conversion process, the software automatically prints a barcode label – both for the newly produced customer roll and for the remaining material roll. This ensures that the length still available on the master roll is documented at all times.
The content and layout of the labels can be freely configured for material rolls and small rolls. This allows you to include the item number, roll length, batch number or your company logo exactly as required by your internal processes and your customers.
Your benefits at a glance
- Less material wastage: Precisely documented remaining lengths are planned for specific uses rather than being forgotten.
- Fewer replacement deliveries: Customer rolls that are too short or incorrectly allocated are a thing of the past.
- Successful claims: Batch tracking allows material defects to be clearly attributed to the manufacturer.
- Quick stock-taking: Every roll bears a barcode label showing its length – scanning replaces estimation.
Conclusion: Automatic label printing with barcodes is the cornerstone of professional stock management for roll media. It reduces errors in dispatch, cuts the number of customer complaints and provides full transparency regarding your stock levels.
