Etra Oy wanted to optimise labelling in their huge logistical centre in Finland, specifically for packages of bolts and screws they offer in all available sizes. The huge stock of pre-printed labels kept growing along with their offer, and increased labelling efficiency became a necessity. Read how Brady helped them to answer the challenge to optimise a huge stock of pre-printed labels. Solution: Integrated high volume full colour label printer Brady proposed the VP750 Label Printer that can quickly print huge volumes of high definition full colour paper labels. The capabilities of the printer enable many on-site package label design options, both to identify and trace the contents of the package, and for marketing and branding purposes. Pictures, logos, barcodes, serial numbers and colours can easily be included. Brady also supplied a number of rolls with custom-sized labels that fit any of Etra’s screw and bolt packages. These are easily recognised by the printer and the software Etra uses to avoid label design errors. In addition, Brady technical experts supported the installation of the VP750 Label Printer and

Kier and Brady are working on a complete suite of environmental monitoring tags to ensure that risk areas are adequately managed. Challenges Prior to the Enviro-tag being used, records of environmental monitoring were kept in SHE files within the site office at every construction site. Such documents were often reviewed during inspections and audits but did not sufficiently address monitoring of key environmental risk areas out on site. Moreover, these documents did not provide evidence that monitoring had been undertaken in-situ next to the risk area. Solutions Working together with Kier, a custom Enviro-tag suite was developed. Enviro-tags include a holder that can easily be fastened to near-by fences or posts, and replaceable inserts that can log inspections; frequency dependent on risk level. The Oil & Fuel Tanks Tag is usually fastened to fencing which surrounds the oil & fuel tank in a construction compound. The tag enables viewers to identify specific tanks, contact an appointed person or access the company’s internal procedure through a QR code. On the tag’s rear, up to 15 inspection
