Rising shipment volumes, short delivery times and a growing degree of automation are presenting logistics companies with ever greater challenges. What are needed are high-performance systems that reliably combine multiple process steps. This is precisely where the jointly developed inline solution from Bluhm Weber and Bizerba comes in: it combines dynamic checkweighing and automatic labelling into an integrated process, thereby increasing throughput and space efficiency.
The combination of weighing and labelling technology makes it possible to optimise processes in logistics. The integration of both systems reduces the need for separate stations, which not only saves space but also shortens lead times. This increase in efficiency is particularly important in times of growing shipment volumes, as it helps companies to meet the rising demands of the market.
The solution combines Bizerba's high-precision checkweigher technology with the Legi-Air 4050E label printer applicator from Bluhm Weber. Following the weighing process, dispatch labels are printed in real time with all the necessary data and applied directly to the package. The variable information comes directly from a connected database or shipping software and is processed without any loss of time. The tight integration of both systems creates automated processes with high data security and short cycle times.
Energy-efficient labeller for high performance
The Legi-Air 4050E label printer applicator has been specially developed for demanding shipping and logistics applications. It operates energy-efficiently with reduced compressed air consumption and is suitable for high line speeds. Since classical maintenance parts are largely dispensed with, components only need to be replaced when actually required. This reduces downtime and lowers operating costs in the long term.
Together for high-performance logistics solutions
The combined weighing and labelling line is suitable for postal and parcel service providers, fulfilment centres as well as commercial and industrial companies with high shipping volumes. Thanks to its robust design, simple operation and flexible integration, the system can be seamlessly incorporated into existing logistics processes.
The close cooperation between Bluhm Weber and Bizerba combines the expertise of two family-run businesses with many years of experience in the fields of labelling, weighing technology and automation. Together, they create solutions that make logistics processes sustainably more efficient and future-proof.
Both companies will be presenting their joint solution at the Parcel+Post Expo 2026 in London (23rd to 24th September) at stand F40 in the Exhibition Centre London (ExCeL).
