Automatic Bundling at Wrapline

Many mills bundle two or more rolls into a package at the winder.

Most omnidirectional barcode scanners can read multiple barcodes on a roll.

With this scanner feature and some clever software, there is no need to do manually rebundle a package in the system after a roll in a package has been downgraded.

The operator just has to put the rolls together with all the barcoded coretags on the end of the last roll where the barcode scanner will scan the package. The rolls are placed on the conveyor feeding the wrapline and the software will see all the roll numbers on the barcodes an automatically bundle the rolls together.
