Ink-jet coder doesn't horse around

After trying coders from different companies, the firm installed the model 470Si ink-jet coder from Willett UK, whose U.S. counterpart is Willett America (Ft. Worth, TX). The difference was noticed immediately.

“The code clarity and machine reliability increased by about 100 percent,” explains site manager Ian Foster, adding that the company now uses four of the Willett machines. “Reliability is the most important thing. The only time they’re not working is when we shut them down for routine maintenance.”
