Yes. SHICAI inline printers print serialized numbers and one-item-one-code marks driven from MES/ERP data, with encoder sync keeping each serial in place at speed. That is the core of pharmaceutical and tobacco track-and-trace and of anti-counterfeiting programs where every unit must be individually identifiable.
Add vision verification if a missed or duplicate serial is unacceptable downstream.
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.
Where serialization is required, the coder becomes part of the MES: it pulls the next serial, prints it and reports back so nothing is missed.
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.
Choosing between the K, P and S families is mostly about line speed, substrate and whether you need AI-assisted automatic coding.
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.
