Abstract
A labeling system includes a pasting unit having a first mechanical arm adapted to pick up a label to be pasted, at least one visual device configured to guide the first mechanical arm to paste the label on an object, and at least one scanning device adapted to scan the label pasted on the object.
Claims13
A labeling system, comprising:
- a pasting unit including:
- a first mechanical arm adapted to pick up a label to be pasted
- and to paste the label on a side surface or a top surface of an object;
- a first scanning device adapted to scan the label if it is pasted on the top surface of the object;
- a second scanning device adapted to scan the label if it is pasted on the side surface of the object;
- and
- a movable platform configured to carry the object, the movable platform is rotatable for rotating the side surface of the object into a scanning range of the second scanning device.

A labeling system comprising:
- a pasting unit including:
- a first guided mechanical arm adapted to pick up a label to be pasted and to paste the label on one of a top surface or a side surface of an object;
- a first scanning device, if the label is detected on the top surface, the first scanning device adapted to scan the label pasted on the top surface of the object;
- a second scanning device, if the label is detected on the side surface, the second scanning device adapted to scan the label pasted on the side surface of the object, wherein the first scanning device is movable in a horizontal plane and the second scanning is movable in a vertical plane;
- and
- a movable platform configured to carry the object, the movable platform is rotatable to move the side surface of the object into a scanning range of the second scanning device.

A labeling method, comprising:
- picking up a label to be pasted by a first mechanical arm;
- guiding the first mechanical arm to paste the label on one of a top surface or a side surface of an object;
- rotating the object on a movable platform to move the side surface of the object on which a label may be present into a scanning range of a first scanning device;
- if the label is pasted on the top surface, scanning the label pasted on the top surface of the object with a second scanning device;
- and
- if the label is pasted on the side surface, scanning the label pasted on the side surface of the object with the first scanning device.
