New Case Study: Optimizing Winery Enterprise Labeling while Reducing Labour Costs
IBC International Bar Coding Systems & Consulting recently partnered with a large North American winery to modernize and standardize labeling operations across multiple production facilities and third-party co-packing sites. Facing inconsistent label formats, duplicate inventory records, and labor-intensive manual processes, the winery needed a centralized solution capable of working across a wide range of labeling technologies and printer brands.
IBC implemented an enterprise labeling platform compatible with SATO, Zebra, Honeywell, Datamax-O’Neil printers, IBC print-and-apply systems, and multiple inkjet technologies. Using standardized form-based templates, the system centralized label creation, inventory tracking, and production reporting across all locations.
The results delivered immediate business impact. The winery reduced annual labor and administration costs from more than $160,000 CAD to approximately $1,200 CAD while improving data accuracy, standardizing label formats, and simplifying coordination between internal facilities and third-party packing partners.
This case study highlights how enterprise labeling automation can streamline operations, reduce costs, and create scalable production efficiencies across complex manufacturing environments.
