By GlobalData“Print automation is a competitive advantage for manufacturers.”
Manufacturers across diverse industries, including retail, food and beverage, medical devices, chemicals, automotive, and metals, are integrating SENTINEL into their operations.
For instance, Flex-Strut, a US-based metal strut framing systems manufacturer, has increased its label printing speed to 100% by eliminating manual labelling bottlenecks.
Flex-Strut IT director Terry Kakavros said: “Prior to our SENTINEL implementation, we would produce and update each label for every sales order we processed, and the process itself would take longer than actually entering the sales order in our system.
“SENTINEL enables us to use our ERP system to print labels, which means labelling is no longer a bottleneck.”
