CASE STUDY: Automatic Full Case QC System

full case pick QC system

The Problem: Customer must eliminate picking errors

A major manufacturer of household goods was having picking errors that created charge backs from their major retail customers. They needed a system that could automatically QC the items by weight and confirm proper placement of the UCC 128 compliance label.

The Solution: QC inspection using a conveyor scale

CASI proposed a system using an automated conveyor scale interfaced to the customers ERP system. Fixed position barcode scanners read the compliance label and match the pick with the expected weight on the package.

System Overview

verify UCC 128 compliance label

As cartons are picked in the pick module, they are labeled with a UCC 128 compliance label. These cartons travel toward the in line scales where a pair of fixed mount barcode scanners read the barcodes from either the top or side.

retail compliance label

If the barcode cannot be read or the weight is outside the tolerance allowed, the carton is diverted using a SortMaster 100 checkweigh reject system.
