Brother: robust industrial printing, adapted to harsh conditions

In demanding industrial environments, Brother printers offer high reliability and consistent speed in labeling, contributing to the smooth execution of production processes. Built for intensive use, they deliver clear and durable labels, essential for traceability and control at every stage of the operational flow.

Mobile printers ensure on-site labeling, reducing handling times and eliminating errors. Moreover, easy integration with ERP or WMS systems allows for automated label generation, and color printing equipment supports rapid visual identification and branding in packaging or component production.

In the industrial labeling sector, Brother will showcase the most reliable equipment on the market, designed to operate uncompromisingly in harsh conditions:

  • TJ-4522TN - a robust and reliable industrial label printer, ideal for high-volume production environments requiring fast and continuous printing throughout the entire shift.
  • TJ-4021T - a compact industrial printer suitable for limited spaces in factories or packaging lines, ensuring a constant labeling pace with low maintenance.
  • PTE560BT - a portable printer for technical labeling, essential in industrial equipment maintenance, electrical wiring, or control panels, featuring Bluetooth functions for quick connection to mobile devices.
  • TD-4550DNWBFC - a high-resolution desktop printer, excellent for labeling applications with strict quality requirements, extended connectivity, and compatibility with traceability systems.
  • PJ-863 - a mobile printer with direct thermal technology, extremely useful for generating documents or labels on-site in areas without access to fixed printers.
  • RJ-4250 - a mobile printer for labels and receipts, designed for intensive use in industrial environments where mobility and immediate printing contribute to operational efficiency.

These printers are easily integrated into existing ERP or WMS systems and support traceability and quality processes through fast, clear, and precise labeling. For applications where visual differentiation, branding, or colored marking play a strategic role - such as in packaging production or components with clear visual identification - Brother's color printing equipment opens new possibilities for customization and advanced traceability. Thus, manufacturers can respond more quickly to end-customer requirements, prevent identification errors, and maintain a high level of delivery quality without adding complexity to internal processes.

Datalogic solutions for automation, traceability, and visual inspection

For companies in heavy manufacturing, where speed, precision, and control are essential, Datalogic offers a set of technologies that directly contribute to increased productivity and reduced operational losses. The solutions presented by Smart ID and Datalogic at Metal Show & TIB are designed to address current production challenges - from part inspection during the process to complete component traceability and the elimination of labeling or identification errors.

For automatic identification, visual inspection, and direct part marking, Datalogic brings to the forefront cutting-edge technologies:

  • Matrix 220 AIX - a fixed scanner with AI technology and DPM capabilities, ideal for reading codes on metal parts.
  • Matrix 320 - 36L - a high-performance hands-free scanning solution for fast production lines.
  • AV900 - a high-performance scanning system for logistics applications.
  • PowerScan DPM - a robust reader capable of quickly identifying codes directly marked on hard surfaces.
  • Memor 12 & Memor 17 - ultra-rugged mobile terminals used in factories and handling areas.
  • Smart VS - a visual inspection system with artificial intelligence.
  • P2X - a fully configurable industrial vision solution.
  • Laser marking systems and safety barriers for complete control of inspection and quality flows.

Automated visual inspection technologies help manufacturers replace time-consuming manual checks with intelligent systems that can identify surface defects, assembly errors, or incorrect markings in real-time. These devices can be directly integrated into the production line without interrupting the operational flow, allowing for rapid problem detection and reduced costs from rework or post-production interventions.

Fixed scanning systems with AI technology prove extremely efficient in reading DPM codes or markings on metal surfaces, even under challenging conditions such as dust, oils, or high vibrations. For manufacturers working with small parts, engraved elements, or critical components, this technology ensures a high level of identification accuracy, eliminating the risk of a part reaching the wrong production line or being incorrectly delivered.

Additionally, machine vision technologies are applicable in automatic alignment processes, geometric control, or optical measurements, offering an advanced solution for quality control and industrial auditing. The major advantage is the speed at which these devices process data (in real-time) and their ability to provide detailed reports and automatic alerts when deviations from the standard are detected.

In a context where traceability is essential for maintaining certifications and accessing external markets, Datalogic's solutions offer Romanian companies a scalable and efficient way to fully digitize their marking, inspection, and labeling processes without disproportionate investments relative to real needs.

Smart ID solutions: from industrial equipment to complete production digitalization

Smart ID is not just a provider of industrial hardware but a technology partner that understands factory processes and offers complete solutions - from physical components (scanners, printers, terminals) to their integration into complex IT systems. Through platforms like Sceptrum ERP, Smart WMS, or Inventory Management, Smart ID connects field equipment with digital production management applications, achieving extended control and real-time visibility over processes.

For companies in the metal sector, this means the possibility of fully automating material traceability - from goods receipt to final product delivery. This eliminates the need for manual labeling, reduces component search time, and optimizes inventory and production planning. Furthermore, Smart ID's solutions allow for the automatic allocation of orders to production lines, real-time tracking of their status, and integration with accounting or reporting systems.

A key competitive advantage is the ability to adapt these solutions to the existing IT infrastructure in the factory. There is no need to replace already functional systems, but rather to intelligently integrate new technologies, reducing costs and implementation time. Additionally, Smart ID's technical support and consultancy teams ensure rapid, scalable implementation without significant production interruptions - a critical aspect for industries where each day of downtime means significant losses.

By combining Brother and Datalogic equipment with its own software solutions, Smart ID transforms each device into a digital control point integrated into the company's operational data flow. This hardware-software convergence enables a type of predictive management where risks can be anticipated, costs reduced, and decisions made based on objective and up-to-date data.

Digitalization is no longer a "future project" but a present necessity
