A method and system for maintaining the inventory of labels is presented. An inventory count for each label type is maintained in a database. The database is updated when the labeler is operated by detecting the label type being used by a labeler by counting and subtracting the number of labels dispensed from the inventory count. The inventory count is adjusted from a remote location or via an operator interface. The system may be integrated with a labeler controller. The system includes a label sensor and counter for detecting and counting labels, a label database, a processing unit, an operator interface, and a gateway connection. An alarm is provided when the inventory of a label type is low and labels of the label type are automatically reordered if a reorder option is selected. |
