Product information traceability system can help tobacco industry management become more standardized
Logistics in the tobacco industry can be divided into raw material logistics for tobacco leaf production and acquisition, internal logistics in the production process of cigarette manufacturers, that is, industrial logistics, and external logistics in the sales of finished cigarettes, that is, commercial logistics. Since the birth of jet printing equipment, product information traceability systems have gradually been integrated into the product production and circulation process, and printed logos have become an important basis for product information traceability.
For the purchase of raw tobacco leaves, in order to ensure that the purchased tobacco leaves can meet the purchase standards and at the same time meet the quality requirements of industrial and commercial handover, the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration has introduced the 'original collection, original blending, one dozen and three sweeps' measures. At present, the 'one dozen, three scans' successively use barcodes and variable QR codes to identify cigarette packs, and the variable identification can be imported into the product information traceability system through a scanner, so that the quality and flow direction of tobacco leaves can be tracked. In the packaging process of finished cigarettes, dynamic weighing detection and barcode scanning are used to solve the problem of manually checking whether there are missing cigarettes in the cigarette box, so as to ensure the quality of the product to a certain extent. For raw tobacco leaves, using different internal barcodes for different grades of tobacco leaves can achieve automatic batching of shredded tobacco. Barcodes are used in cigarette box stacking and automatic sorting systems to achieve automatic sorting, transportation, stacking and automatic storage. When dispatching finished cigarettes into and out of the warehouse, the automatic delivery and storage operations of finished cigarettes can be realized.
In the sales logistics of finished cigarettes, the product information traceability system can be used to achieve full circulation tracking of finished cigarette rods. In addition, supplemented by other technologies, tobacco anti-counterfeiting and sales safety can be achieved. For example, one of the ink types of digital printing machines has a characteristic that enables printing of invisible information. The content can be revealed under the irradiation of a purple light to achieve anti-counterfeiting effects. By introducing barcode technology into many aspects of tobacco management, the production efficiency and circulation efficiency of tobacco are greatly improved, which is conducive to product quality control. It also improves the timeliness and accuracy of inventory management, which can make the production and circulation of tobacco industry more efficient. The automation level of sales management has reached a new level.
