FOX IV Case Study on a compact label print and apply system used to retrofit a shipping labeling station.

The system needed to be compact, have a range of application heights, and completely electric.
A large automotive component manufacturer needed to automate the labeling on two production lines for automotive seats as well as their transfer carts. The customer had previously purchased FOX IV automated print and apply systems for two of their other plant locations.
In this application, the customer needed to encode, print, and apply a thick closed-cell foam RFID tag to metal parts in order to track the parts through work-in-process. Both the application and the environment were challenges.
FOX IV created a complete labeling station to label two different sizes of feed blocks. One block required wrap around labeling and the other a single label on the top of the block.
