Challenge
Coding systems are crucial for Moba's solutions and must meet specific requirements, including special software, ink, serial communication options, and mounting arrangements. Print quality and reliability are essential, and only systems meeting these criteria are selected by Moba.

Solution
Hitachi Europe's inkjet printer systems meet Moba's high standards and have been certified for use with the MOBA Omnia series. These printers offer clean printing and good legibility, especially for multiline printing, using a special droplet control system for fine print quality. The continuous inkjet principle ensures high-speed, high-quality printing.

Product Features
Hitachi's inkjet printers are known for their simple operation and efficient use of consumables. They feature a modular construction for easy maintenance and a patented filter connection system to minimize downtime.

Results
Reliability is crucial for Moba's automatic systems, as printer failures can incur significant costs. Hitachi maintains high standards in development, manufacture, and quality control, ensuring operational reliability. The first systems with Hitachi's printers were deployed in Spain in 2013, with capacities of up to 180,000 eggs per hour.
