Case Study: Parker Hannifin Hydraulic Filter Division achieves XML file label printing with TEKLYNX SENTINEL

Parker Hannifin Hydraulic Filter Division achieves instant XML label printing with TEKLYNX

Parker Hannifin Hydraulic Filter Division needed to automate its barcode label printing process to eliminate manual data entry errors and manage diverse customer label formats. Their challenge was accessing ERP system data to create accurate, on-demand labels without a slow, workstation-intensive solution. They turned to vendor TEKLYNX and its SENTINEL label print automation software for a solution.

TEKLYNX implemented a centralized system where SENTINEL runs on a print server. A small XML file generated from a scanned traveler ticket triggers the server to harvest ERP data, select the correct label format, and print to designated network printers. This solution provided more consistent printing, accurate data, fewer errors, and better process control. It also allowed Parker Hannifin to move the labeling function to an earlier, less labor-intensive stage in production, improving overall efficiency.
