Weigh-Price Labeller

Dynamic Weighing, Real-Time Printing & Auto Labelling

Dynamic weighing, real-time label printing and automatic application in one continuous process

NCN Automation supplies weigh-price labelling systems for food production lines that need to weigh, print and label each product while the line keeps moving. Because individual pieces rarely weigh exactly the same, the system links the measured weight to price, production date, batch, barcode, QR code or traceability data, then generates and applies the label within the same production cycle.

A weigh-price labeller is not simply “weigh it, then stick a label on”. It builds a one-to-one relationship between the product and its data.

The system can be extended with AI vision inspection, reject handling and MES/ERP data connectivity according to project requirements.

Key figures

Figures above are indicative. Final configuration should be confirmed against product samples, target throughput and site conditions.

What it solves

• Reduce manual weighing and data entry – weight data enters the system automatically and drives label generation.
• Handle variable data for every product – weight, price, date, batch, barcode and QR code printed in real time.
• Lower the risk of product-to-label mismatch – the weighing result is bound to the current product and labelled immediately.
• Build traceable production data – SKU, weight, label, timestamp and inspection results can be linked for MES, ERP and traceability.

How it works

1. Product infeed – spacing and continuous conveying to stabilise product pitch.
2. Dynamic weighing – captures the actual weight of each piece in motion.
3. Data processing – links SKU, order, weight, price and traceability fields.
4. Real-time printing – calls the label template and generates the variable label.
5. Automatic labelling – top, side, bottom or combined application.
6. Inspection and recording – optional vision re-check, data storage and traceability.

The same flow can be configured with rejectors, metal detection, X-ray inspection, barcode verification and downstream conveying.

FAQ

What is a weigh-price labeller?

It is an automation machine that performs dynamic weighing, variable-data processing, label printing and automatic labelling continuously on one line. For products with different weights, it associates the actual weight with price, date, batch, barcode or traceability data and prints the label in real time.

Can it print weight, price, date and barcode on the same label?

Yes. Weight, price, production date, batch number, barcode and QR code can all be printed as variable fields driven by the product data.

Which labelling positions are supported?

Top, side and bottom application, as well as combined configurations, depending on the product and packaging.

Can it connect to our MES or ERP?

Yes. The system can be connected to MES, ERP or a database so that SKU, weight, label and inspection results feed production and traceability records.

How do we confirm the right model for our product?

Send product photos or a line video, the size and weight range, target throughput and a label sample. Final configuration is confirmed against samples and site conditions rather than catalogue figures alone.
