Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for operating a labeling system according to the preamble of claim 1 and a labeling system having a labeling device according to the preamble of claim 13. Background Art

[0002] The labeling system discussed herein has at least one labeling device, which is designed in particular as a pricing device. The labeling device is in particular equipped with a weighing assembly, a supply assembly for labels, and an application assembly as functional units, which are arranged to label individual packages. A printer assembly is arranged to print labels, wherein the printing can also be carried out depending on the weight value measured by means of the weighing assembly.

[0003] In order to detect the labeling process implemented by the labeling device, in many cases, parameters such as the operating time of the labeling device or the quantity of resources used (for example, the number of material strips of labels consumed) are considered as criteria. Based on the parameters, further processing planning can be carried out and in addition, the costs accumulated during the operation of the labeling device can be settled.

[0004] Here, the challenge is that the number of actually performed labeling processes can only be determined approximately by means of parameters such as the operating time of the labeling device or the number of consumed material strips. The number of successfully applied labels can change significantly during continuous operation. In addition to different loading and processing speeds, faults may occur during the labeling process, so that the number of consumed labels does not necessarily correspond to the number of successfully applied labels. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention is based on the problem of providing a method for operating a labeling system, which allows for a further precise detection of the labeling process.

[0006] The above problem is solved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

[0007] It is important to consider the following basic consideration, namely, that the functional units of the labeling device have sensing means for monitoring the operation, which sensing means determine operating values related to the execution of the labeling. The operating values can be used not only for controlling the functional units but also for checking whether the labeling process has been carried out successfully. Counter information is generated based on the check, and only the labeling processes classified as successful are considered in the counter information. Therefore, the counter information can be used for improved resource planning and settlement.

[0008] Specifically proposed is to check whether the operating values detected during the corresponding labeling process meet the preset end criteria representing a successful labeling process, and store the occurrence of the satisfied end criteria in the counter information.

[0009] Here, the fact that the label is faultily applied by means of the application component can be the reason for the deviation between the number of successfully labeled processes and the total number of consumed labels. Therefore, the preferred design according to claim 2 relates to the operating values of the feeder of the application component (such as a stationary feeder and / or a pendulum stamp), and the operating values are checked by means of the end criteria. The operating values preferably considered for the end criteria are the subject matter of claim 3.

[0010] In another equally preferred design according to claim 4, there is provided a feed component for transporting the packaging, and its operating values can influence the end criteria. For example, sufficient consistency between the feed speed and the application speed of the feeder can be a prerequisite for successful application.

[0011] Equally preferred is the design according to claim 5, according to which the label sensor is arranged to detect the applied label, so that the result of the labeling process can be determined in a simple and reliable manner. Here, it is particularly preferred to apply a barcode scanner according to the design of claim 6, whereby the labeling process can be evaluated in a simple manner by detecting and checking the barcode on the label.

[0012] In particular, it is also possible to check the printed image generated by printing or the orientation of the label achieved by application based on the label sensor (such as a camera), which is the subject matter of claim 7.

[0013] Claim 8 relates to the application of the printer sensor of the printer component, whereby a faulty printing process can be identified based on the operating values of the printer component. In particular, the labeling processes with faultily printed labels in the counter information are not considered or at least characterized accordingly.

[0014] Furthermore, interestingly, according to the designs of claims 9 to 11, according to which additional information about the labeling process, such as the type of labeling process, is assigned to the counter information. Thus, it is particularly easy to list the accumulated resources and costs.

[0015] In the preferred design according to claim 12, the counter information is particularly stored in or transmitted to the production guidance controller together with the mentioned assigned information. Thus, the counter information for multiple labeling devices can be centrally detected.

[0016] According to the further teachings of claim 13 which shall be ascribed an independent meaning, there is claimed a labeling system having a labeling device, wherein the labeling system is preferably set up to carry out the proposed method.

[0017] Here, it is important that the labeling system is set up to check whether the operating parameters detected during the respective labeling process meet preset end criteria representative of a successful labeling process, and to store the occurrence of the satisfied end criteria in counter information. All embodiments regarding the proposed method can be referred to. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail based on the drawings which are only for presenting embodiments. In the drawings,

[0019] Figure 1 a perspective illustration of the proposed labeling system for carrying out the proposed method is shown, and

[0020] Figure 2 a) to c) show schematic views of the labels being applied and printed during the labeling process. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention relates to a method for operating a labeling system 1. The labeling system 1 is equipped with at least one labeling device 2 for labeling individual packages 3, and the labeling device is in particular designed as a price marking device.

[0022] The labeling device 2 has a control component 4 which controls the further to-be-explained functional units of the labeling device 2 to carry out the labeling process. During the labeling process, the individual packages 3 are labeled. Preferably, in the labeling routine, the labeling process is carried out continuously for the combination of the respective packages 3.

[0023] The weighing component 5 of the labeling device 2 is used to determine the weight value of the respective package 3. The weighing component 5 has a weighing sensor which determines an analog weight value and / or a digital weight value representative of the weight of the package 3. The determination of the weight value is carried out in particular based on the deformation measurement of the support for the package 3, for example by means of strain gauges, and / or based on the electromagnetic force balance of the gravity of the respective package 3.

[0024] The supply assembly 6 of the labeling device 2 is configured to supply labels 7, which can be designed to be detachable from a material strip 8. Labels 7 that are detachable from the material strip 8 in particular refer to labels 7 that are detachably arranged on a carrier strip with their adhesive surface, and the carrier strip forms the material strip 8 and can be made of paper and / or plastic, for example. It is also feasible that the labels 7 are produced by separating a sub-section of the printable or printed material strip 8, for example by cutting and / or tearing the material strip 8. In particular, labels 7 designed as adhesive labels are used, which already have an adhesive surface by means of which they are detachably fixed to the material strip 8. It is also conceivable to use labels 7 without an adhesive, which are then provided with an adhesive surface or applied to the adhesive surface at the corresponding package 3.

[0025] The printer assembly 9 of the labeling device 2 is configured to print the labels 7. In principle, the printing of the labels 7 can be carried out on the material strip 8 and / or after the labels 7 have been detached from the material strip 8 and before, after or during the application of the labels 7 to the corresponding package 3. Here and preferably, the printer assembly 9 is provided that is configured for thermal printing, in particular thermal direct printing (Thermodirektdruck) or thermal transfer printing (Thermotransferdruck). The printing of the labels 7 is carried out depending on weight values. For example, the labels 7 are provided with a print with weight information 10 and / or the unit price 12 assigned to the package 3 is determined based on a base price 11 and printed onto the labels 7.

[0026] Furthermore, the labeling device 2 has an application assembly 13 as a further functional unit in a common housing with the supply assembly 6 for applying the supplied labels 7 to the corresponding package 3. Preferably, the supplied labels 7 are received by a stamp, which is designed as a pendulum stamp 14 here and preferably, and applied to the corresponding package 3. The stamp in particular has a jet head, which is used to suck in and blow out the labels 7. Here, the pendulum stamp 14 performs a movement along the transport direction of the package 3 during application in order to label the moving package 3. With the application assembly 13, the labels 7 can be applied in a contact manner by pressing the labels 7 onto the package 3. Additionally or alternatively, it is conceivable that the labels 7 are applied in a non-contact manner, for example the jet head of the stamp blows the labels 7 onto the package 3 by generating a compressed air impact towards the package 3.

[0027] The labeling process for the package 3 at least includes the following actions performed by the aforementioned functional units controlled by the control assembly 4:

[0028] Determining the weight value of the corresponding package 3 by means of the weighing assembly 5;

[0029] Labels 7 are supplied by means of a supply assembly 6;

[0030] Labels 7 are printed by means of a printer assembly 9 depending on weight values; and

[0031] Labels 7 supplied by the supply assembly 6 are applied to corresponding packages 3 by means of an application assembly 13.

[0032] Preferably, the labeling process is repeatedly executed for a plurality of packages 3 in a labeling routine.

[0033] Now it is important to check whether the operating values detected during the corresponding labeling process meet the preset end criteria representative of a successful labeling process, and to store the occurrence of the satisfied end criteria in counter information.

[0034] Here and preferably, the labeling device 2 and in particular the previously mentioned functional units (weighing assembly 5, supply assembly 6, printer assembly 9 and / or application assembly 13) have sensors 15 which monitor the mode of operation of the labeling device 2 and are used as a basis for manipulation by means of a control assembly 4. Here, operating values are detected by means of the sensors 15, which are further used to evaluate the corresponding labeling process.

[0035] The end criteria generally represent a successful labeling process, which is embodied in the operating values. For example, the labeling process is considered successful only when one or more operating values are within a preset value range. Similarly, the operating values can directly reflect a fault condition, where the labeling process is considered successful only when such operating values indicate a fault-free labeling process.

[0036] The counter information is indicative of the number of labeling processes considered successful based on the check of the end criteria. In a simple design, the counter information contains a numerical value which incrementally increases with the occurrence of the satisfied end criteria and thus with the occurrence of the labeling processes considered successful. It is also possible to consider detecting the total number of all labeling processes by means of the counter information, however, where the number of labeling processes evaluated as insufficient due to non-satisfaction of the end criteria is subtracted from the total number.

[0037] Here, an aspect of a successful labeling process is that the label 7 is optimally applied by means of the application assembly 13. In a preferred design, it is provided that the end criterion relates to the operating values of the feeder of the application assembly 13. Basically, in a design not shown, a stationary feeder can be provided, wherein the package 3 is moved relative to the feeder in order to have the label 7 applied thereto. By moving the package 3 at the feeder, for example, the label 3 adhering to the package 3 can be detached from the material strip 8, for example by a rolling-off movement. The stationary feeder is particularly integrated in the supply assembly 6.

[0038] In the shown preferred design, a movable feeder is provided, which is configured to perform an application movement relative to the package 3. Here and preferably, the feeder is designed as a pendulum stamp 14.

[0039] The interaction of the feeder with the package 3 is of particular significance during application. The end criterion can relate to the presence of the label 7 on the feeder when the package 3 is loaded by means of the application assembly 13. This presence can be reflected by operating values. Here, the loading of the package 3 relates to the interaction between the feeder and the package 3, which can be carried out in a contact or non-contact manner.

[0040] The end criterion can relate to the application pressure of the feeder. In the case of a stationary feeder, the support pressure of the package 3 on the feeder is particularly to be understood as the application pressure. In the case of a movable feeder, the application pressure is, for example, understood as the air pressure applied by the pendulum stamp 14 designed as a jet pendulum stamp. For example, an insufficient negative pressure when sucking in the label 7 and / or too low an air pressure when blowing out the label 7 can indicate that the label 7 is applied faultily. The same applies to the application height of the feeder relative to the respective package 3 (in particular the lifting height of the pendulum stamp 14), which relates to the position of the feeder relative to the surface of the respective package 3. During the movement of the pendulum stamp 14, an accidental collision between the jet head and the package 3 can also be recognized, so that an insufficient or missing application of the label 7 can be inferred.

[0041] As a further functional unit, a feed assembly 16 is here and preferably provided, which is used to transport the respective package 3. The feed assembly 16 preferably relates to a belt conveyor or a roller conveyor and, if possible, also to at least one robotic arm for moving the respective package 3. The feed assembly 16 (here a belt conveyor) here and preferably has at least one conveyor belt 17, by means of which the respective package 3 is transported along the transport direction.

[0042] Preferably, the labeling process further includes the following actions: transporting the respective package 3 by means of a feed assembly 16 having a feed speed when applying the label 7. The end criterion can relate to a preset conformity between the application speed of the pendulum stamp 14 and the feed speed, and / or to the orientation of the respective package 3 on the feed assembly 16.

[0043] The preset conformity of the speeds should in particular be understood as meaning that the difference between the speeds does not exceed a preset maximum deviation, which can be a prerequisite for successful application. The feed speed can be determined by a motion sensor and / or by drive values (such as drive current and drive voltage) of the feed assembly 16. The application speed of the pendulum stamp 14 can be understood as the speed of the pendulum stamp 14 in the transport direction at the time of application.

[0044] The orientation of the package 3 on the feed assembly 16 relates to the position of the package 3 and in particular to the orientation of the surface of the package 3 relative to the label 7 to be applied. For example, a package 3 placed on the feed assembly 16 in a twisted manner can cause the label 7 to be applied at an angular deviation or on the wrong side of the package 3. Here and preferably, a package sensor 18 is provided, which is preferably designed as a camera and determines image data about the package 3 transported by means of the feed assembly 16. The package sensor 18 is here and preferably arranged in front of the application assembly 13 in the transport direction.

[0045] The end criterion can relate to the spacing between successive packages 3 transported by the feed assembly 16 and / or the number of packages 3 transported per unit time. The packages 3 transported on the feed assembly 16 can preferably be detected in a sensing manner by a grating or the like. If, for example, there is a spacing that is too small for the feed speed between the packages 3, for example if the preset minimum spacing between the detected signed packages 3 is detected and especially in the case of packages 3 that are in contact with each other, it can be assumed that there is no successful labeling process for at least one of the packages 3.

[0046] In addition, in Figure 1 it is shown according to a preferred design that the labeling device 2 has a label sensor 19 for the applied, in particular printed, label 7. The end criterion is here at least partially checked based on the detection of the label 7 by means of the label sensor 19.

[0047] The label sensor 19 preferably has a barcode scanner which detects a barcode located on the label 7, in particular a barcode printed on the label 7. The check of the end criterion includes a comparison of the detected barcode with a barcode preset for the packaging 3. For this purpose, the barcode scanner can have a sensor controller which decodes the detected barcode. Here, the barcode preset can relate to at least a part of the information contained in the decoded detected barcode. By means of this comparison, the detected barcode and thus the application of the label can be classified as compliant. It can also be determined that the barcode is readable, however, does not match the barcode preset or has a different form. Further, the barcode can be classified as unreadable. Preferably, the labeling process in the counter information is only considered in the case of a barcode classified as compliant.

[0048] Also conceivable is a design of the label sensor 9 as a camera or the like. By means of the label sensor 19, the result of the labeling process can be determined in particular by means of image data.

[0049] Preferably, it is provided that the end criterion relates to the printing of the label 7 by the printer assembly 9, in particular to the occurrence of a printing fault and / or the orientation of the resulting printed image.

[0050] Figure 2 a) Exemplarily shows a label 7 which is optimally printed and applied on the packaging 3. Conversely, in Figure 2 b) a label 7 is shown which, although optimally applied, is partially faultily printed. A printing fault is shown in the area 20, which is caused here by incorrectly controlled, here continuously blackened image points. Conversely, in the area 21, disappearing image points can be recognized, so that a part of the printed image is missing here. The orientation of the printed image particularly relates to the accuracy of centering of the printed image on the surface of the label 7, which can also be recognized by means of image data.

[0051] Further, the end criterion can relate to the orientation of the applied label 7 on the packaging 3, which is shown in Figure 2 c). Here, the orientation of the applied label 7 relates to the set position of the label 7 within a preset area of the packaging 3. Similarly, the orientation can relate to the torsion of the label 7 relative to a preset angular position.

[0052] In Figure 2 The results of the labeling processes shown in b) and c) can lead to non - fulfillment of the end criterion, which is recognized, for example, by the operating values of the barcode scanner or the camera, so that the corresponding labeling processes are not considered in the counter information. In the counter information, only those are accordingly included which are in accordance with Figure 2The preset represented by the end criterion is applied to the label 7 to be applied and printed in (a).

[0053] Furthermore, the end criterion can relate to the adhesion of the label 7 on the packaging 3 and / or the absence of the label 7. For example, the label sensor 19 is applied to identify only partially performed adhesion (e.g., due to insufficient bonding surface) or the label 7 applied in a folded manner. The absence of the label 7 can likewise be detected in a simple manner by the label sensor 19, such as a barcode scanner.

[0054] In another design, it is provided that the printer assembly 9 has a printer sensor 22, which detects the operating values of the printer assembly 9 during the printing of the label 7, and the end criterion relates to the operating values of the printer assembly 9.

[0055] Preferably, the printer assembly 9 is set up for thermal printing, wherein the label 7 changes color, in particular turns black, at the position of the thermal action through point-by-point thermal action. The point-by-point thermal action is promoted by one or more rows of heating resistors, which are arranged in the thermal sheet of the thermal head. With the aid of the printer sensor 22, the heating resistors can be monitored functionally. If there is a deviation in the resistance value of the heating resistor, the disappearance of the corresponding image points (Dots) can be inferred.

[0056] The printer assembly 9 can have a backpressure element, in particular in the form of an immovable sheet or a rotatable roller, wherein a feed gap is formed between the thermal sheet and the backpressure element. The position value of the backpressure element measured, for example, by a position sensor can be monitored and in particular compared with the preset dimension of the feed gap for the corresponding label type.

[0057] Counter information can be assigned additional information about the corresponding labeling process, for example, the time point at which the corresponding labeling process is performed. The assigned information can also be formed by the operating values and / or by parameters derived from the operating values.

[0058] In one design, it is provided that, according to a preset assignment rule, in particular according to the label type of the applied label 7 and / or the print type of the performed printing of the label 7, the labeling process type is assigned to the corresponding labeling process and in particular stored in the counter information.

[0059] According to the label type, the labels 7 are distinguished, for example, by different styles, different thicknesses, different materials, and the like. For example, the printing of the label 7 is classified according to the print type, for example, according to the corresponding print image, the share of the total area of the print image occupied by the blackened image points, or the like.

[0060] Furthermore, it is hereby preferably provided that it is checked whether quality measurement values detected by at least one sensor of the labeling device 2 (in particular at least one of the previously mentioned sensors 15) regarding the labeling process meet a preset quality standard, and information regarding the fulfillment and / or degree of fulfillment of the quality standard is assigned to the labeling process. Preferably, the information regarding the fulfillment and / or degree of fulfillment of the quality standard is stored in the counter information.

[0061] When the check of the end criterion in particular yields binary information (i.e., the labeling process is successful / unsuccessful), a further grading of the labeling process can be carried out by means of the quality standard. Here, the quality standard can relate to one or more actions of the labeling process, for example, to the degree of agreement of the produced printed image with a printed image sample and the accuracy of the orientation of the label 7 on the corresponding package 3. The quality standard in particular allows for a further analysis and documentation of all labeling processes carried out in the labeling routine.

[0062] In one design, it is provided that, according to a preset calculation rule, depending on the counter information, preferably further depending on the type of the assigned labeling process and / or the degree of fulfillment of the assigned quality standard, price information of the labeling routine is determined and assigned to the corresponding labeling process. Preferably, the price information is stored in the counter information.

[0063] In the calculation rule, for example, the costs preset for the corresponding label type are stored. It can also be considered that the price information assigned to the labeling process depends on the quality standard.

[0064] Furthermore, it is hereby preferably provided that the counter information is stored in the production guidance controller of the labeling system 1 not shown here, or the counter information is stored in the control component 4 and in particular is transmitted to the production guidance controller together with the type of the assigned labeling process, the degree of fulfillment of the assigned quality standard, and / or the assigned price information.

[0065] The production guidance controller can be part of a production guidance system for integrating data of different labeling devices 2. The production guidance controller is in particular at a higher level than the control components 4 of a plurality of labeling devices 2. In one design, the production guidance controller is implemented by a cloud having at least one cloud server.

[0066] A labeling system 1 having a labeling device 2 is proposed, wherein the labeling device 2 is set up to be controlled by means of the control component 4 of the labeling device 2 in a labeling routine to label, in particular price, individual packages 3, so that a label 7 is applied to the corresponding package 3 during the labeling process.

[0067] Among them, the labeling device 2 has:

[0068] A weighing assembly 5 for measuring the weight value of the corresponding package 3, a supply assembly 6 for supplying the label 7, a printer assembly 9 for printing the label 7 depending on the weight value, and an application assembly 13 for applying the label 7 supplied by the supply assembly 6 to the corresponding package 3.

[0069] Here, it is important that the labeling system 1 is set up to check whether the operating parameters detected during the corresponding labeling process meet the preset end criteria representing a successful labeling process and store the occurrence of the met end criteria in the counter information.

[0070] All embodiments regarding the proposed method can be referred to.
