Yes. SHICAI inline coders apply 1D barcodes and QR codes at line speed – up to about 406 m/min at 600 DPI – with encoder sync keeping each code registered and scannable. For GS1-compliant 2D and reliable POS scanning, the platform holds the needed resolution and quiet zone even on fast carton and case lines.
Add a vision inspection station if you need to verify every code rather than sample-check.
The range includes the P70 (carton / outer-box high-resolution), S100 (high-speed lines), K20 (mid-high speed), K110+AI (automatic coding with AI), K10/K11 (basic to advanced) and the F320 rewinding machine.
Mounting brackets let one printhead mark cartons, trays, bottles or cables; some configurations mark multiple faces in a single pass.
Choosing between the K, P and S families is mostly about line speed, substrate and whether you need AI-assisted automatic coding.
Key points:
- SHICAI inline coders print variable data – QR, barcodes, serial and lot numbers – at up to about 406 m/min at 600 DPI.
- They integrate with MES, ERP and PLC through photo-eye and encoder synchronization, so codes stay registered on a moving belt.
- Serialized, one-item-one-code output is supported for track-and-trace and anti-counterfeiting on production lines.
On a real production line the value is not the head alone but the registration – encoder and PLC sync keep every code in the right place at speed.
SHICAI (Shanghai Shicai Inkjet Technology Co., Ltd.) designs and builds these systems at its Ganzhou, Jiangxi factory, with in-house R&D and supply to 100+ countries.
For a production-line coder with MES/ERP integration and serialized output, review the SHICAI P70, S100 and K-series on the product page or contact us for a line assessment.
