RE: Label software
I would agree, we are using Loftware for our labeling needs especially
ucc, ucc128. It interfaces very nicely with SAP and the SAP RF WMS
system besides just as a standalone on-demand label printing.

Subject: [EDI-L] Label software
Hi,
I recommend Loftware Labelling (www.loftware.com). We have used it
for
quite some years and are very happy with it. Support is also very good
(even on US holidays which is very handy when you also support a plant
in Mexico).
Loftware can interact with any system (EDI, ERP, etc.) because once all
is set up and designed on the server that is running Loftware, the only
input to produce a label is a plain text file. The software does not
require a dedicated server; the plain text file tells the system which
pre-defined (by you) label format to use, provides the variable data,
which printer, number of copies, etc. This can actually be quite a
small file depending
on your needs. Also, by using variables for data, it makes it very
easy
for a single format of output from your system to create multiple
variations of the label (very handy for, let's say, ASN bar code labels
where each Trading Partner wants the same info, but in a slightly
different format).
For example we use the same Loftware instance whether creating labels
from our WM system, SAP, or EDI. This can be for case labels, ASN
labels, or even those customer specific labels that some people pay big
bucks to have
pre-printed for them. We can whip together a new format on demand that
allows our shipping folks to type in what they need and print labels on
demand.
By the way, I'm not a salesman, just a happy customer. I like the
separation of the application producing the data from the concern of how
to print a bar code. For example you can do it in SAPscript if you're a
masochist, or you can let SAP write out a flat file (which it can handle
nicely), then let software that is made to produce bar codes handle it.
Tell label format "A" that the zip code is to be printed in text and
with bar code; tell label "B" to print the text only.
Also, multiple types of printers can be specified for output, depending
on your needs. Some printers can be thermal transfer printers, such as
Zebra, for those 4x6 labels, but you can just as easily define a laser
printer to print the bar codes to (example, need a cheat sheet of with
several rows and columns of your UPC codes on them?). In fact by using
software that creates a PDF file by emulating a Windows printer, we have
emailed PDF files of labels to remote sites, which printed them on a
laser printer, and there was no problem reading them with a scan gun.
Sorry if I got carried away. Hope this helps.
