Create labels and codes to identify or scan physical elements. A readable label helps with receipts, movements, manufacturing and shipments.

​
Decide what to label

Path: Control panel > Designs
1

Choose the object

Choose an available type: manufacturing operation, operations group, operations of an MO, lot, item, package, receipt line, employee or workstation.
2

Define the code

Use a stable, unique reference for scanning. Avoid codes that change frequently.
3

Add a template

Complete the basic label data:
  • In Name, enter a descriptive reference, such as Lot label 100x50 or Workstation QR codes.
  • In Canvas width (mm) and Canvas height (mm), specify the paper dimensions.
  • In Template type, choose the corresponding Bold element, such as Item, Lot, Container or Workstation.
4

Add elements

In the design area, drag and place the elements you need:
  • Barcode: represents a variable, such as an item or lot code, in a linear format a scanner can read.
  • Fixed text: displays titles, field names or notices that do not change between prints.
  • QR code: represents a variable in a two-dimensional code compatible with suitable cameras and readers.
  • Rectangle: visually groups or separates information.
  • Variable text: inserts data from the labeled object, such as the item name, quantity or target date.
  • Image: adds static elements, such as a logo, pictogram or diagram.
5

Save and test the label

Save the template and print a test label. Scan it with the shop floor or warehouse readers and check that the codes and text are readable before using it in production.

Common uses

Prioritize labels that prevent repeated errors. Do not label everything if the team will not scan or read it during the process.
