Feature ‘Ask the expert’ How technology can save you time
This month our Expert, Brady’s Liz Gallagher looks at how to squeeze extra time from your working day without changing your hours
Software
LabelMark software removes time-con- suming label set-ups with its built-in wizards
Before we introduced LabelMark, net- work technicians were using Microsoft Word and Excel to set up page sizes and label formats in order to label their network cables and racks. This process was unbelievably tedious and time- consuming as they’d need to make numerous adjustments and modifica- tions before even adding data to labels. With the new wizard in LabelMark 5.4, you just select your network hard- ware manufacturer and hardware model and the appropriate label tem- plate is automatically generated. There are also dedicated wizards for electri- cal and laboratory environments – a massive timesaver.
t’s the modern mantra isn’t it? No- one has enough time to do every- thing they want and as a consequence we tend to feel under a great deal of pressure a great deal of the time. At Brady we haven’t been able to unlock a parallel universe where everything is possible within an unlimited space/ time continuum but what we have been able to do is look at real pressure points in the workplace and work out ways to save precious time.
I
Bluetooth Technology We were the first to introduce Bluetooth connectivity into our print- ers with the BMP51/53 models and of course our latest benchtop, the BBP33.
But apart from very clever technology that proves we really know our stuff, what can that offer you?
Simply speaking it means with your android, tablet or smartphone you can instantly transfer data directly onto the printers for immediate output – in other words you avoid involving the IT department in time-consuming set- up and installation.
Serialisation
Having the capability of numerically serialising identification is a real hidden weapon. All of our printers offer the ability to numerically order labels within pre-set parameters – no more tedious individual marking required.

Longevity
A no-brainer really, but technology in materials and adhesive has meant Brady has been able to offer safety signs, labelling and other identifica- tion that stays stuck. That means you only have to do a job once and it’s done. It sounds fanciful when I say I was with a new customer on a site- visit, who opened up an electrical box only to see hundreds of labels littering the floor where they’d peeled off. Obviously wasn’t using Brady prod- ucts – enough said.
Smart-cell innovation
For non-techies, printers can be com- plicated to set-up and operate. It’s often extra hassle in the working day and is specifically why our production team developed the BBP33 bench top label printer which features our smart-cell technology. Basically what it offers is foolproof operation that automatically matches materials with label require- ments- no time wasted in fiddling around with calibration or adjustments and no wasted material either. In terms of saving time, this is genius.
