MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN – June 4, 2007 – Brady Corporation (NYSE: BRC) offers a complete lean manufacturing system for on-demand legend plates featuring Brady B-593 Raised Panel Labels, Brady LabelMark V3 Labeling Software, and the Brady Tagus Thermal Transfer Printer. The system helps companies meet their lean manufacturing protocols by allowing them to produce custom engraved plates in the right place, at the right time, and in the right quantity. Many companies, like CON-SYST-INT Manufacturing USA, LLC, a builder of industrial controls, have found that the Brady on-demand printing solution for custom engraved plates is a time-saving, cost-effective alternative to traditional metal engraved legend plates.
According to Tim Dotzenroth, a Managing Member at CON-SYST-INT Manufacturing, the Tagus printer and B-593 labels have delivered considerable savings in time and materials cost: “This process is at least 7 to 10 times faster than our old engraving process, and the Brady labels deliver a 50 percent reduction in cost, maybe even more when you factor in usability and speed." Using Brady B-593 Raised Panel Labels allows companies to save time with Just-In-Time printing – helping to manage inventory flow, respond immediately to changes, and create replacement legend plates when needed. B-593 labels are made from durable Brady materials, ensuring a high quality, cost-effective final product with a professional look.
Creating custom engraved plates on-site also increases productivity by eliminating the time it takes for custom shop orders to arrive. To introduce the new B-593 Raised Panel Labels, Brady is sponsoring a special giveaway promotion. Qualified customers can learn about Brady B-593 Raised Panel Labels and register for a chance to win a 42" flat panel LCD HDTV.
