Essity
Essity International Distribution Centre in Lilla Edet, Sweden handles about 3000 pallets of tissue paper per day. Incoming pallets are labeled on two sides with GS1 pallet labels and outgoing pallets are labeled with a shipping label. When it was time to replace the old pallet labelers with new ones, Essity took the opportunity to change to the Evolabel FlexWipe -a pallet labeling system that enhances safety and is designed to reduce crushing hazards and trap points.
The enhanced safety features and design to minimize crushing hazards and trap points were key factors for Essity in choosing new pallet labelers. With user safety as a top priority, Evolabel met the tough demands.
Providing input to the Evolabel team during the development phase of the FlexWipe system was a win-win situation—Essity acquired five pallet labelers designed with an extensive safety perspective, while the responsive Evolabel team developed a unique product suitable for many other customers who value safety and ease of use.
“I have worked as an automation engineer for many years, and from a maintenance perspective, it has been absolutely fantastic to work with Evolabel machines. The few times something has come up, we have received quick and excellent service. I am very impressed by the uptime and the low maintenance requirements. I’m really impressed by the machines—they have been running for 8 years, and they just keep going!” says Christoffer Lind, Senior Technician.
