ICE Vector establishes Clearmark ’ s foray into pallet labelling
At this year ’ s PPMA Show , digital coding innovator Clearmark will celebrate its 20th anniversary by making its foray into the logistics labelling space with the launch of the innovative ICE Vector Pallet Labelling System . The ICE Vector brings to the marketplace a new high performance , low maintenance tertiary option that is exceptionally easy to integrate with line and warehouse management systems . ICE Vector completes Clearmark ’ s coding portfolio , enabling customers to benefit from joined-up coding solutions across their primary , secondary and tertiary operations paving the way for the factory of the future .
Unique engineering differentiators makes the ICE Vector a high-performance system including : climate controlled cabin to ensure consistent print quality ; robust longreach cartesian-style arm guarantees GS1 specification label placement on all pallet configurations ; a dual operator interface for continual working during ribbon / label reel changes ; intelligent I / O system to seamlessly communicate with today ’ s highly automated warehouses .
The launch of ICE Vector on Stand D72 is timely with warehouses accelerating their investment in intelligent automation , mitigating supply chain issues ( exacerbated by Brexit and the pandemic ). As more products flow through supply chains at speed , warehouses call for smarter , faster , self-reliant systems to meet demand .
The ICE Vector Pallet Labelling System promises to deliver an attractive ROI for any high-throughput operation looking to automate its pallet labelling process , from food , beverage and pharmaceutical factories , to supply chain and logistics operations . Powerful , reliable performance and seamless integration with factory warehouse management systems ( WMS ) are the bedrock of the ICE Vector advantage . The ICE Vector is powered by the ICE Vulcan print engine – the fastest in its class . With a compact footprint of just 1125mm x 875mm and operational speeds of up to 100 pallets an hour , it can perform up to four label applications per pallet , with two adjacent sides to conform to GS1 specifications for SSCC pallet labelling or three sides for customer specific applications .
The ICE Vector is designed as a robust , fully enclosed system , thanks to a pneumatic guard protecting the print engine from dust and environmental conditions . Optimum conditions within the enclosure are maintained via a thermostatically controlled heater ( as standard ) with the doors only opening at the point when the ICE Vector is ready to label .
With a label arm reach of 650mm out of the enclosure via a sturdy 2 axis cartesian guided motion control system , label placement is accurate and repeatable on a wide range of pallet configurations .
