Carlsberg Business Solutions: Online print solution reduces operating costs
Carlsberg Group uses SkyLabel to design and print labels via the internet. SkyLabel is a cloud-based software system from Delfi Technologies that gives Carlsberg important control over labeling across borders, and it is quick and easy to print labels locally.
Breweries use SkyLabel for labeling their IT equipment. Labels with uniform information facilitate the identification of equipment and streamline the interaction between IT users and support functions. For example, support is faster when IT users only need to provide one ID number for inquiries – and the ID number is also clearly marked on the IT equipment.
LOWER OPERATING COSTS AND GREATER CONTROL
The SkyLabel solution is user-friendly and independent of user location. Data is entered into Carlsberg’s design templates on the SkyLabel website and labels with unique ID numbers and barcodes are printed. The Ethernet module enables the CL-S631 label printer to connect to SkyLabel via the internet, allowing Carlsberg to print unique ID numbers and barcodes. To ensure that Carlsberg’s labels are long-lasting and have a high visual quality, a 300 dpi printing solution was chosen.
– SkyLabel is part of a comprehensive IT standardization project that will give the Carlsberg Group lower operating costs and greater control of IT structures in the countries where Carlsberg operates. Initially, Delfi’s solution has been implemented in 14 European countries. The plan is later to extend the SkyLabel solution to Carlsberg Group’s other global locations, says Joachim Hansen, Retail Manager at Hobbii and responsible for the opening of the physical stores.
THE POSSIBILITY OF ERRORS IS MINIMIZED
The cloud solution is easily scaled out internationally via multiple administration and user rights and also allows for local solutions. Matias Stuven sees SkyLabel’s flexibility as a crucial strength:
– It will be Delfi’s model that we push out into the world. Maybe we’ll get some regional pushback from Asia or Russia, where they have special wishes for design and labeling. But that’s fine! We can still manage it centrally – and we can also delegate and still have control. That logic makes a lot of sense for us.
Matias Stuven is happy with the centralization benefits that SkyLabel provides:
– Previously, each Carlsberg location had their own way of labeling IT equipment. Now there is only one way of doing things, which makes it easy for us. The possibility of errors is minimized, we have control over who is printing what. And if one day we change our logo or want more information on our labels, we only have to change the design in one place, SkyLabel, which saves us a lot of effort, time and money.

LABEL PRINTERS AND SPECIAL LABELS
Delfi has also supplied label printers with special labels to Carlsberg Group throughout Western Europe. Matias Stuven is pleased with the collaboration with Delfi on both the SkyLabel solution and hardware:
– I am very pleased with what Delfi has done and delivered. Especially in relation to what we have demanded of them in a very short time. They have been extremely flexible.
