Weigh price labelling reimagined: the new GLM-I series in practice

W e speak with Florian Stifel, product expert at Bizerba, about the increasing complexity in food production and how the redesigned GLM-I series helps producers adapt. As production lines grow while physical space remains limited, manufacturers need more flexible and efficient solutions. Florian explains how the new GLM-I weigh price labeller meets these demands—offering a modular design, faster print speeds, easier maintenance and full digital integration for centralised control via the BRAIN2 software suite.

Weigh price labelling reimagined: the new GLM-I series in practice

Florian, production environments are changing fast. What are the key challenges today?

Florian Stifel |

Food producers are facing more complexity than ever. Production lines are expected to grow, with more equipment needed to meet demand, but the physical space—the building—stays the same. That means we have to rethink how we design and integrate equipment to make better use of the available footprint.

How does the new GLM-I series address this issue?

The new GLM-I weigh price labeller is designed with exactly this in mind. It features a modular layout with a variable system length, so it can be adapted to fit the space and transport direction in almost any production environment. It’s compact, flexible and makes full use of the available space.

What are the key performance improvements in this new generation?

One of the major upgrades is the accessibility. All labelers can now be operated from the front—no need to turn them off or access them from behind. They automatically move into the right position when a product is called up. Even the bottom labelers reposition themselves. We’ve also increased print speed, which really helps with longer labels, and we’ve made label roll changes quicker to reduce setup time and downtime.

Is the new system also connected digitally?

Yes, absolutely. The GLM-I is integrated with our BRAIN2 software suite, which allows central management of devices, products and label data. This makes it easier to manage complex production networks with consistent standards and fewer errors.

What’s your conclusion—where does the GLM-I bring the most value?

It’s the ideal solution for food producers who need more flexibility, higher efficiency and better space management in their labelling process. The GLM-I really combines performance and practicality in a very compact format.
