Hitachi Printing Software (HPS)
Print Process Improvement
One single, configurable & extendable system to manage all print operations
Highlights
Hitachi’s end-to-end Marking & Coding solution enables manufacturers to increase revenue by significantly reducing human error, minimizing manual work, lowering raw material waste, and preventing product recalls or unnecessary production stops.
By managing all print operations (primary, secondary, and tertiary marking) within a single unified system, companies achieve on of the lowest possible Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in the market. In fact, most customers realize a typical return on investment within just 12 months.
The system is highly configurable and easily extendable, ensuring it adapts to evolving production needs. The intuitive Message Creation interface further streamlines daily operations. Messages for all printers—across production lines or warehouse environments—can be created from one central system, regardless of manufacturer.
Print content for primary, secondary, and tertiary marking is managed consistently through standardized templates with variable data fields, reducing complexity and minimizing the total number of messages that need to be maintained. With all messages stored in a single, structured location, maintenance becomes easier, faster, and far more reliable.
