METHOD FOR OPERATING A LABELLING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240010380 titled 'METHOD FOR OPERATING A LABELLING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The invention is a method for operating a labelling system that labels individual packages. The labelling system includes a labelling device with functional units and a control assembly. The control assembly controls the functional units according to a control specification in a labelling routine.

In this method, a user query routine is performed by the control assembly. The user is prompted by the user interface to input a state related to a functional aspect of the labelling system. The control assembly detects the input state and compares it with a predefined state. If the input state deviates from the predefined state, a response routine is triggered. In the response routine, a message regarding the input state is transmitted to a control system that is external to the labelling system and superior to the control assembly. Additionally, the control specification is modified based on the input state.

  • The invention is a method for operating a labelling system for individual packages.
  • The labelling system includes a labelling device and a control assembly.
  • The control assembly controls the functional units of the labelling device according to a control specification.
  • The method includes a user query routine where the user is prompted to input a state related to a functional aspect of the labelling system.
  • The input state is detected by the control assembly and compared with a predefined state.
  • If the input state deviates from the predefined state, a response routine is triggered.
  • In the response routine, a message regarding the input state is transmitted to an external control system.
  • The control specification is modified based on the input state.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be used in various industries that require labelling of individual packages, such as manufacturing, logistics, and retail.
  • It can be applied in automated labelling systems to ensure accurate and efficient labelling processes.
  • The method can be integrated into existing labelling systems to enhance their functionality and adaptability.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method allows for user input and detection of states related to the labelling system, enabling customization and flexibility in operation.
  • It ensures that any deviations from predefined states are detected and trigger appropriate responses, improving system reliability and error prevention.
  • The transmission of messages to an external control system allows for real-time monitoring and control of the labelling system, facilitating remote management and troubleshooting.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The method enhances the usability and adaptability of labelling systems by incorporating user input and state detection.
  • It improves the reliability and accuracy of labelling processes by detecting and responding to deviations from predefined states.
  • The integration with an external control system enables remote monitoring and control, increasing efficiency and reducing downtime.


Original Abstract Submitted

the invention relates to a method for operating a labelling system for labelling individual packages, wherein the labelling system comprises a labelling device () having functional units and a control assembly () which, in a labelling routine, controls the functional units in accordance with a control specification. according to the invention, a user query routine is performed by the control assembly (), in which user query routine a user is prompted by the user interface () to input a state relating to a functional aspect of the labelling system and the state subsequently input by the user is detected by the control assembly (), and the input state is compared with a predefined state by the control assembly () and if the input state deviates from the predefined state a response routine is triggered by the control assembly (), in which response routine a message regarding the input state is transmitted, by the control assembly (), to a control system () which is external to the labelling system and superordinate to the control assembly (), and in which response routine the control specification is modified on the basis of the input state.
