Label management
In order to meet the global GHS requirements for labeling hazardous substances, the cooling lubricant manufacturer Blaser Swisslube has implemented a system for generic label printing together with Opal Associates.
At the same time, Opal implemented a solution for traceability at container level. The necessary product and container types are generated "on the fly" by the solution in SAP during the printing process.
The pictograms, signal words, hazard warnings, safety instructions and additional information are dynamically integrated during printing depending on the chemical substances used and the recipient country.
Opal label management accesses the transaction data from SAP, the product master data and the associated hazardous substance data at various points.
