Case Study: David Del Curto achieves efficient large-format barcode labeling for high‑volume fruit exports with CYBRA Corporation

A Perfect Barcode Labeling Solution For Fruit Distributors

David Del Curto, a major Chilean fruit exporter with 13 facilities exporting over 16 million boxes per season, needed a way to process, track and store massive volumes (more than 30,000 boxes per day per facility and over one million boxes per week at peak) from a System i RFDC wireless network. The big technical hurdle was printing an oversized 8" x 14" barcode label with more than 300 fields on demand from wireless terminals — something not previously achieved with laser printers from a System i wireless environment — so Psion Teklogix provided the wireless terminals and turned to CYBRA Corporation and its MarkMagic barcode labeling software.

CYBRA Corporation integrated HP LaserJet printers, Psion Teklogix terminals and COBRA Systems BCM‑500 modules via MarkMagic, significantly cutting print‑stream traffic and enabling responsive, on‑demand printing of the large legal‑size labels directly from the System i. The solution delivered real‑time label generation and pallet-level tracking across receiving, packing and cold storage, supporting Del Curto’s high-volume throughput (30,000+ boxes/day per site; 1M+ boxes/week at peak) and improving traceability and processing efficiency for its operations, including the 1.5 million‑box Paine cold storage.
