Case Study: Wilsonart achieves high-speed, low-waste sample-chip labeling (300 chips/45s) with Honeywell (Datamax-O'Neil A4212 printers)

Wilsonart - Customer Case Study

Wilsonart, a manufacturer of decorative laminate and acrylic solid surfaces, faced a major scaling challenge: thousands of home improvement shoppers request free sample chips, and each chip needs a printed identification label. To modernize a decades-old labeling line, Wilsonart worked with Code-in-Motion and upgraded to Honeywell Datamax-O’Neil A‑Class print-and-apply hardware (Datamax‑O’Neil A4212 printers) to improve speed and reduce waste during frequent product changeovers.

Code-in-Motion integrated six Honeywell Datamax‑O’Neil A4212 printers into a closed-loop, vacuum-cup pick-and-place system with broadcast printing capability so one PC command can drive all printers. The solution prints labels reliably around the clock, applies labels to 300 sample chips every 45 seconds, feeds from three-foot stacks of label stock, and yields minimal label waste and high uptime—lowering total cost of ownership and meeting Wilsonart’s production demands.
