Case Study: Fagor Ederlan achieves error-free traceability and 80% hardware cost savings with BarTender

Fagor Ederlan eliminates identification errors and gains flexibility, cost savings with BarTender

Fagor Ederlan, a global maker of automotive safety components, needed to guarantee traceability and eliminate identification errors across 18 plants while consolidating disparate printing hardware and software. Before working with BarTender (BarTender’s Automation Edition), the company relied on multiple vendors’ printers and pre‑printed labels, which slowed label design, increased error risk, and required costly professional labelers for a relatively low daily label volume.

BarTender implemented a centralized labeling solution (Automation Edition, deployed with Ibermática) that unified label design and supported any printer type, enabling Fagor Ederlan to switch to multifunction printers and a pay‑per‑use model. The BarTender solution eliminated container identification errors, delivered complete traceability, cut time spent modifying label designs by 90% and reduced hardware costs by 80%, while simplifying management and producing significant operational and financial savings.
