Streamline manufacturing labeling with Loftware Cloud

⇨ Manufacturing labeling is crucial for identification, traceability, inventory planning, process efficiency, quality control, and regulatory compliance.

⇨ Integration of digital labeling solutions like Loftware Cloud with existing systems such as SAP can streamline labeling processes, reduce errors, and enhance compliance for companies like Varian.

⇨ Automated labeling systems can significantly save time, money, and resources, driving continuous improvement and efficiency in manufacturing operations.

Manufacturing labeling or production labeling is the process of labeling materials, parts, products, containers and pallets in the manufacturing and distribution process. These labels can be directly printed onto the item or attached via tags and/or adhesive. Labels such as these include information such as product data, consumer information, tracking information, QR codes and barcodes.

Manufacturing labeling is important for many reasons, including identification and traceability, inventory planning, process efficiency, quality control and regulatory compliance.

In an ever-changing world, where high-quality products must be delivered faster, to broader markets, manual processes and disparate printing solutions can no longer keep up with demands. Moving forward, labeling must be digitized, standardized and integrated with an organization’s manufacturing systems. Loftware, a provider of an end-to-end cloud-based labeling platform, helps businesses manage labeling across their operations and supply chain.

One company integrating labeling with SAP to secure compliance for global market entry was Varian, a Siemens Healthineers company. Varian needed to comply with local regulations for medical device labeling in all countries where it conducts business, however, the combination of long product life cycles and inherited issues from previous labeling systems forced the medical device manufacturer to manually create labels, which cost them greatly on time and resources.

Varian wanted a cloud-based labeling solution that could address the needs of the entire Siemens Healthineers company and chose to work with Loftware to implement Loftware Cloud to seamlessly integrate into their SAP system.

With Loftware Cloud, Varian reduced production setup and downtime, reduced label templates, reduced errors and enhanced accuracy by eliminating manual label updates. Integrated with SAP, Loftware Cloud ensures accurate and consistent label data which has simplified regulatory compliance with its validation-ready solution as well as simplifying label design and reducing the IT burden.

Leveraging Loftware Cloud allowed the medical device manufacturer to benefit from a digitalized labeling system which streamlined processes, reduced maintenance and drives continuous improvement with full auditing and reporting capabilities with business intelligence which enables teams to monitor and track all labeling and packaging activity.

Organizations can reap the benefits of an automated labeling system to save time, money and resources. In the new age of digital transformation, manufacturing can be made easier with resources such as those provided by Loftware.
