core requirements for the labelling system

THE SOLUTION

Control printing processes centrally in SAP®

OPAL’s labelling solution is a comprehensive label solution for SAP®. You manage your data content directly in SAP® and determine it independently according to your needs using a framework. Structured process flows and rule sets master the challenges of product labelling – from strict industry regulations to changing customer expectations and supply-chain adjustments.

The user interfaces are intuitive and clear, so that processes, parameters and system behaviour remain traceable at all times. Data on print jobs is stored and available for analysis: the process gains transparency, becomes measurable – and can thus be optimised further.

THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE

Master data and harmonised processes

→Clean master data: countless projects have shown that clean master data is the key factor for safe and correct labelling. Often it is only the LABELMANAGEMENT project that uncovers this shortcoming – and with our many years of experience we support you in remedying it.
→Harmonisation of label processes: in distributed organisations, harmonising processes is a further challenge, especially with a phased rollout across several sites. Flexible, arbitrarily extensible rule sets help you adapt to new circumstances at any time.

THE REQUIREMENTS

What a labelling system must deliver

→Reliability: labelling processes are often business-critical – the system must run reliably.
→Performance: hardly any process is as time-critical in users’ perception as labelling, because the result is expected immediately as a physical label.
→Control and overview: regulations and standards tolerate no errors – central control and traceability must be ensured.
→Responsiveness: new or changed labels are part of everyday business and must be quickly implementable, without starting a project every time.
→Flexibility: automation, digitalisation and Industry 4.0 continuously change the labelling process – the system must be able to adapt quickly to new circumstances.
