Struggling With Batch Coding to Increasing Productivity
How Using Hitachi Printers Could Help Increase Your Company’s Productivity
What Was Productivity Like Before Hitachi?
What happens when consumers are on the verge of creating the next best condiment, fruit preserve, or even beverage, but don’t necessarily have the equipment or space to do so? Product development, production, and packaging can seem like a daunting process; luckily, there are specialty food production facilities that provide local makers with the equipment and wares needed to streamline the production process.
Before using Hitachi, local makers were labeling products ineffectively, especially when it came time to add batch number information. According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, “batch numbers are composed of any distinctive combination of letters, numbers, or symbols, from which the complete history of the manufacture, processing, packing, holding, and distribution of a batch or lot of drug, product, or other material can be determined.” While some consumers remain oblivious to the existence of batch code information, manufacturers understand just how important it is, especially since it’s a component of product traceability.
How Did The Hitachi Printer Solve Batch Coding Dilemmas?
When they first contacted Hitachi because they needed a batch coding solution that would slide into their existing workflow line, that’s when they were was introduced to the Hitachi printer. This thermal inkjet coding machine is excellent for date, lot, batch, and barcoding, as well as for printing logos, QR codes, and more.
After adding the Hitachi printer, it was stated, “the addition of the coding equipment was the first step in a flexible, but longer production line; in addition, it has also increased the accuracy, as well as the professionalism of the finished product.” As opposed to local makers having to add batch code information manually, the Hitachi printer is easily producing 300-700 prints per day
