RSI systems are powered by HP TIJ technology for printing bar codes and text. This fostered development between the companies and advanced HP TIJ into the industrial printing market in China. Hailong integrated RSI’s printers into its sheet-fed, roll-to-roll, fold-to-fold, and packaging print solutions. “We felt that with the evolution of computers and the development of the Internet, the demand for variable data printing would definitely increase.” “We found RSI’s ink-jet system stable, reliable, reasonably priced, easy to operate, and very versatile,” explains Miao Hailong, president, Hailong Group. At the inception of the partnership, the primary applications targeted were printing business forms and tax invoices in China. Hailong’s cooperation with RSI began in 2003 as a way to introduce a new ink-jet system for printing variable data. Its more than 600 employees produce products for auto mold, sheet metal products, casting products, machining operations, and exports of machine tool casting products. Physically, the company’s plant covers 180,000 sq m, with more than 280 types of machinery and CNC machining, stamping, welding, and casting equipment. Seeking to meet PIATS requirements, machinery maker/systems integrator Hailong Machinery Group Co., Ltd., of Qingdao Jimo City, China, partnered with RSI to develop printing systems that incorporate HP thermal ink-jet (TIJ) technology for the printing of bar codes and text on primary and secondary packaging.Įstablished in 1999, The Hailong Group’s Web site describes the company as a medium-sized machinery manufacturing enterprise, with total assets of 3.2 billion yuan.
The use of PIATS continues to expand to the packaging of many different products to enable traceability and to stem the proliferation of counterfeit products.
As a track-and-trace system, PIATS involves the serialization of pharmaceuticals, foods, and beverages mainly for primary and secondary packaging.
In an effort to improve product quality, safety, and authentication, China in 2007 established a Product Identification Authentication Tracking System (PIATS).
