Warehouse, production, label, stock and asset software that works with the barcode printers, scanners and mobile computers we supply, plus ready-to-install apps.
Print service and refill-due tags with the service date, next due date, equipment ID and QR code from your own label file, so every tag reads the same.
ACE-UniLabel, Allmark's own label printing software for Windows, prints service-due labels from the label file you use today. The operator fills only the values that change, on a screen made from that label.

Service stickers for equipment must show the right next due date
A service due sticker, or equipment maintenance sticker, stays on the equipment until the next visit. If the next due date is worked out by hand, or the QR code says something other than the printed text, the mistake shows up only when the service is missed.
ACE-UniLabel prints your service tag from one screen, with the next due date proposed from the label itself and the QR code filled from the same boxes.

Pre-printed or handwritten stickers
Stickers bought printed and filled in by hand.
Very low volumes.
Handwriting varies from one person to the next, and a pre-printed sticker cannot carry the lot's own batch, date or QR code.
Retype in the label designer
The operator opens the label design and types each value before printing.
A few labels a day in one format.
Every value is retyped by hand; unless the designer is set to print only, the person printing may also change the layout, and there is often no record of who printed what.
Label designer linked to an Excel sheet
The label design reads a sheet, with counters and date offsets set up inside the design.
Planned batches from a list.
Someone has to keep the sheet link and the design settings working, and operators may work inside the design tool unless it offers a print-only form.

A print screen made from your service tag file and a picture of it; the next due date is proposed from the label's own period.
Service and refill tags printed before or after each visit.
Next due date proposed from the label's own period, with a warning before printing if the dates break it; the QR code filled from the same boxes; a list of units from Excel; it runs offline on the PC.
In ACE-UniLabel
How ACE-UniLabel prints service due stickers
Turn an existing label file (.prn) and a picture of the printed label into a reusable operator print screen. These screens were made from the example label above.
The next due date is proposed from the label's own period between the service date and the due date. The technician confirms or changes it, and the app warns before printing if the dates break that period.
When it reads a label, Make Screen from Label warns if the printed text and the barcode do not match, so the mismatch is fixed before the first tag prints.
With the Excel and work lists feature, load a list of units from Excel, review each row against the label preview, and print selected or all valid pending rows.
The service tag's print screen. Box names such as Text 1 are the app's own until the supervisor renames them.
Checklist
Before you choose service sticker software
Ask these questions of any way of printing service-due labels, ours included. At the demo we answer them on your own label.
Is the next due date proposed from the label, and checked before printing?
Do the QR code and the printed dates always match?
Can a list of units print as one batch from an Excel sheet?
Is every printed tag recorded?
Try it on your label
Try your own label at the demo
Bring the service tag file you print today and one printed tag. The demo is at no charge: we make its print screen with you and check its dates and QR code. ACE-UniLabel itself is licensed per computer and quoted in writing.
The service date, the next due date, the equipment ID, who serviced it and a space to sign; many also carry a QR code with the same details, as on the example tag above.
Can the next due date fill itself?
The app proposes it from the label's own period between the two dates; the technician confirms it or types another date. It never changes a date on its own.
Does the QR code show the new dates?
Yes. On the example tag, the saved screen fills the QR code from the same refill and next-due boxes the technician types, so the code and the printed dates match.
Can we print a batch of tags for a site visit?
Yes, with the Excel and work lists feature: list the units in a sheet, review each row against the label preview, and print the rows you tick.
Can we print service stickers for equipment instead of writing them?
Yes. Print each tag on a supported thermal label printer (we confirm the model in the solution assessment) from one screen, so the dates and the QR code are filled the same way every time.
Which printers and scales does it work with?
Tested interoperability with selected OHAUS weighing-scale and GoDEX/TSC thermal-printer configurations. Compatibility is model- and configuration-dependent; confirmation is provided during solution assessment.
Send us the label you print today
Send the label file and a photo of the printed label on WhatsApp, and tell us how its values reach the label now. We send back a draft operator screen and quote the features you need. For a planned purchase, we can also show it working in person.
