Retailers Celebrate WM-Nano, the World's First Tabletop Automatic Wrapper

(PRWEB) August 04, 2011

It's not hard to see why WM-Nano, the world's first tabletop automatic wrapper, was one of the top 10 most innovative products at Canada's 2011 Grocery Showcase West. Until recently there's been little middle ground in wrapping equipment. Retailers could choose a small, manual station or a room-sized automatic machine. But now, Ishida's WM-Nano offers another choice.

At just 28" wide, 34" deep, and 28" high, the WM-Nano is a unique concept, a tabletop wrapper with an integrated scale-base and printer, offering all the benefits and features of a full-size automatic machine at a modest size and price tag.

Retailers no longer have to sacrifice floor space or make a huge investment to gain productivity. The WM-Nano boosts output as high as 15 packages per minute (PPM), while reducing the risk of repetitive motion injuries and achieving the same attractive, quality wrap every time, regardless of operator.

By cutting space requirements 50 to 70 percent over competitor models, WM-Nano fits almost anywhere and accommodates a wide range of products and tray sizes. Its four-part modular design is easy to install or take apart. No forklifts required. Fully assembled, WM-Nano is lightweight and easily transported by just two people.

Controlled by Ishida's Uni-7 price-computing scale base and printer, WM-Nano brings the same user interface right from the front counter to the back room, where operators won't have to learn second type of equipment. Uni-7 has a long list of its own benefits, including a full-color customizable touchscreen that displays custom product images and provides positive input response for sensing when each button is pressed. Operators also appreciate Uni-7's quick-change label cassettes, Ethernet and wireless communication, compatibility with third-party devices, and SLP-V software for easier PLU management and label customizing.
