What are the hardware in the traceability project of "one object, one code"?

One thing, one yard What are the hardware in the traceability project? What specific functional objectives need to be achieved, how to cooperate and support, and improve the comprehensive work efficiency are the directions that Hengxin inkjet has been studying. Today, we will look at what hardware needs to be involved in the implementation of the traceability project from several dimensions, and what applications are available.

First of all, we see that the equipment of code assignment type, whether the brand or the manufacturer, needs to be marked on the product or package if they want to land the project of one item and one code. This logo is generally displayed in the form of two-dimensional code, representing the unique identity of the goods, which can be related, traceable and searchable.

Among the coding equipment, the common ones are the inkjet printer, labeling machine, and label printer, which can be integrated at the factory production line end. During the production process, the code is sprayed on the product, such as the bottle cap. There will also be a laser marking machine, which can print two-dimensional codes inside the bottle cap for one thing, one code marketing or anti-counterfeiting traceability.

In addition, in addition to online or offline coding equipment, you can also choose to print packaging materials in an integrated way, printing each two-dimensional code on packaging materials. This operation mode is the future development direction, but at this stage, printing machines and packaging design companies have not been popularized, which belongs to a small number of applications.

Secondly, it is a collection type device. The goal of this type of device is to associate multi-level products. In the production packaging process, from bottles/boxes, to boxes/packages, to pallets/stacks, specific association relationships are bound. Scanning the packaging QR code at any level can see the corresponding associated product information.

After the realization of 1, 2, 3 and 4 levels of product correlation, we can carry out targeted and accurate digital management in channel management. When delivering goods from the warehouse, we can use PDA to scan the code and enter the delivery place, which can prevent the occurrence of goods fleeing. There is also an early warning function on the SAAS cloud platform, which is convenient for the brand to conduct inspection and management.>

Acquisition devices mainly include fixed code readers, industrial cameras, PDAs, handheld code scanning guns, etc. The difference in the types of these devices is due to the difference in their application scenarios and customer products. Generally, in the one thing one code solution, targeted device recommendations will be made.

Thirdly, there are some processing equipment and packaging equipment, including fixed support, micro adjustment support, non-standard line body transformation, removal and storage equipment, PC control cabinet, industrial personal computer, I/O network card, alarm light, unpacking machine, packing machine, sealing machine, stacking machine, weighing machine, plastic sealing machine, FRID reading and writing equipment, etc.

Through the combination of multiple types of equipment, we can customize non-standard solutions for our applications at the factory end according to different customers and products, achieve more efficient product coding, collection association, defect elimination, and information upload, form a data chain, and lay a solid foundation for our "one thing, one code" circulation end and marketing end.
