A smart labelling solution can be a decisive factor in the efficiency and quality of a production line – especially when products and labelling requirements vary. A great example of this is the project delivered by KLINGER Finland for Kiilto Clean Oy, which is part of the Finnish Kiilto Family Group. Kiilto Clean is known as a leading provider of professional hygiene and consumer product cleanliness solutions, where quality and traceability are critical requirements in production environments. A clean environment is essential in the daily operations of Kiilto’s customers – which is why every process must function flawlessly.
One important stage in Kiilto’s production is product labelling – especially for canisters that contain chemicals. The labels must be clear, durable and accurately applied, and they must include variable data such as 1D and 2D codes. At the same time, production batches change frequently, requiring both speed and flexibility.
Starting point: versatile production requires agility
Kiilto Clean Oy faced several challenges:
- Products and labels varied in both shape and size
- Frequent and rapid changeovers on the production line
- The need to print variable data on the labels, including 1D and 2D codes
- Strict hygiene and chemical resistance requirements
KLINGER Finland’s smart labelling solution met all requirements
KLINGER Finland Oy designed and delivered a comprehensive smart labelling solution tailored to Kiilto’s URS (User Requirement Specification). The delivered labelling solution integrates labelling, variable data printing, and quality assurance into one seamless process.
The solution utilized:
- Intrex’s advanced labelling technology
- Domino’s cost-effective TTO printer for printing variable data on labels
- Domino’s intelligent R-series OCR camera to verify label accuracy and quality
Key features of the delivered system:
- Fast and user-friendly mechanical changeovers, even multiple times per day
- Suitable for various product and label formats up to 220 mm in width
- Up to 100 programmable settings and three-level user access control
- Printing capabilities for both 1D and 2D codes
- Quality control using an OCR camera
- Materials suitable for chemical handling and an easy-to-clean structure
This smart labelling solution is designed to support efficient and responsible production – exactly the kind of values for which Kiilto Clean is known.
Smooth collaboration and verified quality
The long-term collaboration between Kiilto and KLINGER Finland enabled smooth execution of the project. The system was thoroughly tested in a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) at Intrex’s facility in Poland before delivery. This ensured that the labelling solution would operate flawlessly in Kiilto’s production environment from day one.
The delivery was carried out on a turnkey basis, including installation, commissioning, and training. The new labelling line significantly improves production efficiency, traceability, and quality – precisely the areas where Kiilto aims to strengthen its profile in the future.
