Marel's Packing Software solution supports a wide range of scales and terminals, from simple standalone scales requiring minimal operator input to advanced IPC terminals where the operator can manage orders and pallets, and enter a variety of product parameters.

The system enables users to design pack, pallet and order labels using a visual label designer and attach individual or composite database fields to label fields.

All labels can be reprinted on the production floor or from the desktop GUI. The system also supports printing reports instead of labels when, for example, an order is completed.

Advanced order processing

Packing Software includes advanced order processing capabilities. Products can be packed according to orders selected by the operator, or the system can automatically select an order based on status and priority. Products that do not match any orders can be recorded in inventory.

Based on the selected order, all product parameters, including weight limits, pallet sizes, prices, expiry dates, and label texts, can be overridden.

Packs to pallets

Packs can be assigned to pallets when they are recorded. Pallet information can be printed on pack labels, which are automatically printed when the pallets are completed. Alternatively, pallets can be built afterward by scanning pack labels.

Data is processed using a configurable back-end based on the unit operation concept. The system comes with a comprehensive set of pre-defined operations and additional ones can be customized and plugged in on site.
