La primera generación de impresoras UX Hitachi fue lanzada en 2015, con innovaciones como la reducción del consumo de fluidos, la impresión a 6 líneas y un nuevo sistema de cartuchos. Esta nueva generación de codificadoras ha sido desarrollada para la industria 4.0: nuevo software, protocolos de comunicación y mejoras en la conectividad, que han convertido a Hitachi en el primer fabricante CIJ en conseguir la certificación ODVA. Controlador definido por software (SDC) El SDC añade una nueva manera de comunicación con las impresoras, permitiendo construir un puente directo con el ERP corporativo u otros sistemas de gestión empresarial. Tradicionalmente, la conexión de los sistemas informáticos corporativos con la planta de producción plantea muchos retos. Suele haber una combinación complicada de softwares con problemas de rendimiento y soporte. Con el nuevo SDC, Hitachi proporciona un puente directo entre la capa de TI y las operaciones en la planta de producción. Protocolos modernos de comunicación Al emplear protocolos abiertos como OPC-UA, las impresoras Hitachi son compatibles con cualquier plataforma en red, independientemente del sistema operativo. Además, las nuevas impresoras están equipadas con Ethernet/IP, OPC-UA, Modbus y RS-232 de Serie. Actualmente Hitachi es el primer fabricante de CIJ en obtener la aprobación ODVA para Ethernet/IP. Interface de respuesta inmediata La potencia de procesamiento mejorada permite que la impresora reaccione a las entradas del operario de forma instantánea, lo que proporciona al usuario una experiencia increíblemente rápida. La intuitiva interfaz guiada resulta familiar desde el primer momento. Gracias a estas mejoras es posible la unificación de todos los sistemas SCADA de fábrica, con información centralizada a tiempo real, reduciendo costes operativos y mejorando en la planificación de la producción. Hitachi presentará sus nuevas impresoras en el stand de su distribuidor oficial en España, Trebol Group.

What makes inkjet technology different? We cannot say that there is a better coding technology than another, what does exist is the right one for each application. So let's start with the main features of Inkjet technology. What advantages does Inkjet technology have over the rest? Next, we show you the cases in which marking with Inkjet is a success: - Materials with difficult adhesion: Inkjet systems allow printing with maximum adhesion on any packaging material, both on porous and non-porous surfaces! No surface can resist it and always with maximum legibility and efficiency. - Irregular, curved, fragile surfaces with complex printing angles: The advantage of contactless printing is that the shape of the product is never a problem for printing, the ink jet is launched from a distance from the head to the material, since they are designed to be implemented in the most complex spaces and print in any direction. - Very small products or markings: Inkjet technology is capable of generating microscopic drops that are printed on any surface. even in less than a millimeter! Always with the highest quality and reliability. - Demanding production environments: In humid environments such as dairy or canning or with a high degree of dust such as pallet factories or cement factories, it is essential to have equipment with high Protection Indexes against water and dust that avoid obstructions and breakdowns. - Very fast production lines: Do you have a production line that works very quickly? That is not a problem for the Inkjet because it is capable of adapting to speeds in excess of 400 meters per minute. Tell us what you need to code and under what conditions and we will help you choose the most profitable coding system for your company. With no obligation!

First of all, if you use adhesive tape in your business, it's essential to know the best practices for its correct use. Therefore, today we're sharing some tips to make it easier for you to put them into practice. Adhesive tape is a product whose importance is often underestimated, yet it contributes significantly to the security of packaging. Besides allowing a box to be closed, it also serves to mark it and prevent attempts to open or steal the package. But how do you choose, apply, and preserve this product so that your shipments arrive safely? What type of adhesive tape do you need? There are several models available: acrylic polypropylene adhesive tape, solvent or heat-fusible tape, gummed tape, paper adhesive tape, among others. However, it's not always easy to find the adhesive tape that suits your needs. The trick is to choose the adhesive according to, primarily, the weight and material of the packaging: Polypropylene adhesive tape with acrylic glue for medium and heavy loads. It is therefore resistant to temperature variations and UV rays, and compatible with a wide variety of surfaces (recycled cardboard…); Polypropylene adhesive tape with solvent glue: this is the most common type of adhesive tape. Its adhesive is more resistant to temperature and humidity variations; Polypropylene adhesive tape with hot melt water-based adhesive. It is ideal for heavy loads, being particularly resistant to abrasion and stretching; PVC adhesive tape with solvent adhesive allows its use only at room temperature and for packages up to 25 kg. For example, you can also choose a customized adhesive tape. In this sense, this makes the closure of your packaging unique, as well as discouraging anyone interested in opening it during shipping, as this type of tape cannot be replaced.

All those companies that produce products related to the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical sectors have very defined packaging and transportation needs to protect their products, as they are especially sensitive. Therefore, pallets that facilitate movement from one place to another must meet a series of specific requirements, and Inka Palet's hygienic pallets satisfy them one by one. Firstly, they are made with virgin plastic, in addition to having a completely smooth and closed cover, which does not allow dirt to accumulate, as it does not have cavities or gaps. These pallets are robust and long-lasting, in case it is necessary to sanitize them to be able to reuse them. This task becomes practical and easy thanks to their studied design, since they do not absorb water and dry easily. Their resistance to low temperatures means they can be used in refrigeration and freezing areas. They have safety edges and non-slip strips on the surface, and four entrances for use with lifting machines; This fact also makes them suitable for use in automated systems, block stacking and rack storage. Our hygienic pallets are available in various sizes and configurations; among them, the versions with 3 and 5 skates, and the following colors: white, gray, blue and beige.

The total automation of the logistics sector is only a matter of time: between 5 and 10 years, and is due to the growing interest, on the part of company managers, in the correct management and optimization of the available storage space, which leads, in turn, to greater efficiency of all warehouse operations. An improvement in precision is also observed, which is associated with better customer service, in addition to a significant reduction in errors and a valuable increase in the safety and health of workers. All of this ends up providing greater profitability in the long term. And in every automated warehouse we find a key element: pallets. These appear in practically all of the operations carried out to transport products in a warehouse of this type, so they have to be of specific measurements and characteristics, since the robots only recognize those elements that have been previously introduced. in the system. At Inka Palet we have several options, many of them specifically designed to be used with automatic palletizers. One of them are some models from the IKPOOL range, made from plastic and with a robustness that gives them high durability. This fact makes it possible to reuse the pallet for a long time, which optimizes its use and the resources invested in it, and is committed to sustainability. Another option is the H1 and H1R pallets (the latter, made with recycled plastic); They also have great robustness and load capacity. The type of plastic used to manufacture the H1 and H1R makes them ideal for use in the food industry, among others, as they can withstand storage at temperatures ranging from -40ºC to 70ºC.
