Embedded Thermal Printing for High-Throughput Food Retail Scales
APS provided the HSP2208-KS-NC, an embedded thermal printing mechanism, engineered for seamless integration into Torrey’s food label scale designs.
THE CHALLENGE
Torrey required a compact, reliable, and high-performance embedded printing solution for its food retail weighing scale platforms. The printer needed to deliver immediate, accurate printed labels and receipts at the point of weighing, including product description, weight, price, unit price, date/time, and barcodes.
THE SOLUTION
APS and Torrey engineering teams collaborated closely to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility within compact scale housings, reliable operation under continuous daily use in retail environments and consistent, high-quality print output suitable for food labeling.
THE RESULT
The HSP2208-KS-NC allows customers to generate labels instantly at the weighing station, supporting fast customer service and smooth checkout operations. Printed labels provide clear, standardized product information, supporting traceability, inventory control, and pricing accuracy across fresh food departments. APS thermal printing mechanisms are designed for continuous-duty operation, supporting the pace and demands of busy food retail counters.
