When speaking with prospective customers, we often find that many people are not aware of the options that exist for automated tread labeling. Although manual labeling is a tried and true solution that many companies still rely on, there are several potential ways in which automating your process could benefit your business. Within the right environment, an automated labeling solution can save time and budget – all while still preserving the quality of your final product.

At Computype, we work with labs and biobanks all over the world to ensure they have proper barcoding strategies in place to support the unique cryogenic storage processes and facilities. With that being said, we acknowledge the depth of the decision to select a supplier, especially when valuable samples and specimens are trusted in your hands.

Computype’s custom tire tread label automation, Chromaffix, is an all-inclusive system that was intricately engineered to include all components in the tire tread labeling process. Although we are confident in our system’s capabilities to expedite and simplify your tread label application processes, we recognize that not only are we not the only option in this space, and that label automation is relatively new to tire manufacturing.

As automation continues to replace manual labor in all aspects of the automotive and tire industry, tire manufacturers are looking towards more automated means of tire bead labeling. With this recent trend, barcode manufacturers like us are often being asked “Is there an automated way to do this?” in regards to labeling processes.

Here at Computype, companies are always asking us how they can best manage their tread label automation. Through our strong relationships with tire manufacturers globally, we were able to learn what they feel would most benefit the streamlining of their processes. With manufacturer’s input and Computype engineers, we were able to develop Chromaffix.

Here at Computype, one of the most frequent questions prospective customers ask us is, "What exactly IS a label applicator and what does it do?"

The simplicity of our answer may surprise you. In their basic form, label applicators do exactly that: they automatically apply labels to your tires, vials, circuit boards, or whatever other assets you need labeled.
