ProImage Launches the Niko Meter

Friday 19. October 2012 - - Alerts to risk of missing deadlines - Optimizes press productivity

At IFRA Expo, Frankfurt, this month New ProImage is launching the Niko Meter, intelligent software that will alert production staff to any risk of missing a deadline.
The software shows a number of meters on the screen, each similar to the speedometer in a car. Each meter shows very visually the production status of each plate – and these change colour and warn when there is a danger, or imminent danger, of a deadline being missed.
Named the “Niko Meter” as a tribute to Niko Rukosuo, a former technical director of the Los Angeles Times, a ProImage NewsWay workflow customer who had the original idea.
Izzet Edige, general manager EMEA, New ProImage, states, “The Niko Meter is proving to be a very valuable tool, especially with today’s minimal production staffing levels. It automatically monitors live plate production and helps optimize the productivity of an expensive newspaper press.”
