Abstract: A wrapping machine for wrapping trayed food products includes a wrap station at which trayed food products are wrapped, a film dispensing station for drawing out film over trayed food products at the wrap station and a conveying system for moving trayed food products along a defined path from an input station to the wrap station. A controller is operatively connected to operate the conveying system, components of the film dispensing station and components of the wrap station. The controller is configured as a state machine with sequential wrap stages, where each wrap stage must successfully complete before the controller initiates a next wrap stage.

Abstract: A scale system includes a weighing scales located within a store, each weighing scale configured for weighing and pricing fresh items. Each weighing scale incorporates a discard transaction function that is configured to enable an operator to enter data regarding fresh items being discarded. Each scale includes a transaction data tracking function stores a fresh item transaction record for fresh items that are priced and fresh items that are discarded. POS terminals are located in the store, at which items being purchased from the store are scanned and paid for, and purchase transaction records from the POS terminals are collected and stored by a POS server. A scale management computer includes a transaction data collection function that obtains fresh item transaction records from each weighing scale and purchase transaction records from the POS server, enabling identification of inconsistencies between fresh item transaction records and purchase transaction records.

Abstract: A printing device includes a thermal printhead with a plurality of print elements. A controller is configured to identify an out of specification status of at least one print element, wherein the controller is further configured to determine whether printing of a specific print field requires use of the print element having the out of specification status and, if so, to determine whether a print location of the specific print field can be shifted such that the print element having out of specification status will be one of (i) aligned with a gap in the specific print field or (ii) offset to one side of the specific print field. A weighing scale incorporating the printing device is also provided.
