Enterprise Labeling: An Imperative For The Electronics Industry

The electronics industry today is characterized by an ever-sprawling set of global supply chains, causing an increase in disparate labeling systems spread across the enterprise with an ever increasing volume of duplicated label and redundant master data. This begs the question: how effective is labeling in the electronics industry today?  Can labeling be more optimized for large corporations with thousands of printers around the world?

The challenges facing organizations dealing with global supply chains include the need to accomplish the following:

• Increase supply chain transparency for speedy product development
• Centralize and consolidate label printing from one location to thousands of remote printers worldwide
• Integrate labeling with business applications
• Reduce the number of label templates with automation
• Rapidly change labels as customer, geographical and regulatory requirements evolve
• Build “configure to order” solutions in high volumes
• Attain higher yields through fewer defects in labels
• Defend against higher costs by safeguarding against counterfeiting
• Reduce manufacturing costs and sustain or improve margins
