Bar codes, as identifiers, are playing an increasingly important role in the production, storage, transportation and circulation of products. With the development of science and technology, the bar code generation method is also varied, and now our main application generation methods include: pre-printing and on-site generation. The pre-printing is generally accomplished by a wet ink printing process, which is generally adopted when high-volume printing of goods is packaged. It has the advantages of low cost, large quantity, and high efficiency. However, when companies produce barcodes that change production relatively frequently in multi-variety production, the pre-printing method faces great challenges, and the advantages of on-site production in this case are also reflected. At present, on-site printing bar codes generally use graphic printers or special bar code printers to print bar code symbols, which are then pasted on the surface of products. With the maturity of technology, some new options have been added. It is becoming a reality that the bar code is directly printed on the product through a printer. Inkjet printers can print on-line barcodes, which can adapt to high-speed production lines, greatly improve work efficiency, avoid human error, and ensure the uniqueness of each product code, so that barcodes can truly become part or product ID cards. Traceability of individual products.
A printer is a device that prints variable information on a product during online production. Due to the technical characteristics of the device, it can accurately assign each product a different number in a fast speed situation (marking speeds of up to hundreds of meters per minute, completing the identification of thousands of products, and thus in the large-scale modernization It has been widely used in production, and the date of production of a large number of products circulated on the market, product lot numbers, etc. are all marked with inkjet codes, and the inkjet printer is the first choice for directly printing anti-counterfeiting codes on the surface of products. The machine can print various types of barcodes and patterns on products and parts, and has a wide range of applications in the production and circulation of products.
·Application of jet printing barcode technology in product production process
1) Real-time variable
The printer can print out different barcodes every time it is printed. This makes it possible for companies to code each part during production management.
2) Production Process Management
The printed bar code can be automatically dispatched to various production lines. At the same time, through the information recorded by the bar code, relevant sources such as the source of production and time of each component can be traced.
3) High speed
The printer is a product of industrialization. Its high speed can fully meet the requirements of various production lines.
4) High accuracy
The printer is installed online. It cooperates with the production requirements of the production line and automatically prints. This avoids the possibility that many companies use the labeling method to manually make mistakes in the production process.
5) Cost
Because the printer has been or is becoming a necessary equipment for many companies, making full use of its inkjet bar code function, can make the printer play a greater role, resulting in more derivative value.
2. Application of Printing and Barcode Technology in Enterprise Logistics (Storage and Transportation) Management
The printing bar code is also widely used in the logistics of enterprises, especially in the bar code identification of the storage and transportation unit of the goods. In some developed countries in Europe and America, the bar code printing is gradually becoming the storage and transportation unit of the manufacturer's products (eg: Packing cartons) The preferred barcode identification.
The identification of the bar code on the outer box must enable all links of the circulation to be readable, otherwise the bar code has no meaning in circulation. This also requires that the identified shipping and handling unit bar code must comply with the EAN UCC standard, ie UCC/EAN-128 bar code or ITF14 bar code.
In terms of the identification of barcodes for storage and transportation units, inkjet technology has significant advantages over other technologies:
·flexibility
Preprinting carton packs will cause companies to face a lot of troubles, and will also bring a lot of preprinted cartons to the company. The use of inkjet printer equipment for coding can not only help solve these problems, but also complete the identification of the required patterns for the outer packaging and can be adjusted at any time.
High speed
The high speed of the coding equipment can be adapted to various types of packaging production lines.
Real-time variable
More and more companies want unique identification for each storage and transportation unit, so UCC/EAN-128 barcodes are getting more and more applications. Traditional preprinting cannot achieve the unique identification of individual storage and transportation units. The work efficiency of bar code printers may in turn cause bottlenecks in the overall production of the company. This also requires the use of high-speed inkjet coding equipment to achieve uniqueness for each storage and transportation unit. Identification.
No errors
The inkjet printing equipment prints directly on the carton online, minimizing the manual intervention in the labeling process and avoiding the errors caused thereby.
· Wide range of printable
The coding equipment can not only print barcodes, numbers, characters, etc., but also can realize the identification of company logos, pictures and other information.
·save costs
The coding equipment can save the cost of the company’s carton inventory and human error. At the same time, most companies need to use the coding equipment to mark the production date in the outer box. The equipment that conforms to the international and national standards (ITF-14, UCC/EAN-128 code) can be used for multiple purposes.
The various advantages of inkjet coding equipment are making it an important solution for companies to choose barcode packaging equipment for packaging. Companies should use validated printing equipment that can print in compliance with international and national relevant bar code standards.
