Atlantic Zeiser introduces Industrial Digital Printing 2.0 and DIGILINE at IPEX
Wednesday 17. March 2010 - Industrial Digital Printing 2.0 (IDP 2.0) is the worlds first integrated concept in the modern industrial printing world that enables customers to integrate easily and affordably future upgrades into existing as well as future print solutions.
This ensures that Atlantic Zeiser systems and modules will deliver maximum added value, return and protection on investment and extend the life of the production platform. For Atlantic Zeiser customers, Industrial Digital Printing 2.0 provides easily upgrades as new technology and software modules become available. IDP 2.0 encompasses different stages, including: transport (web/sheet/single product), and digital printing, print verifying, anti-counterfeiting, track & trace/anti-diversion and bidirectional ERP integration. Existing Atlantic Zeiser integrated systems and modules can be assigned directly to individual stages within Industrial Digital Printing 2.0 framework. These integrated systems will be categorized into three families: DIGILINE Web, DIGILINE Sheet and DIGILINE Single Product.
Emmingen, Germany, 16th March 2010 – At IPEX, Atlantic Zeiser, the leading innovator in industrial digital printing solutions and components, is unveiling a new concept called Industrial Digital Printing 2.0 (IDP 2.0). The first instance of Industrial Digital Printing 2.0 will be demonstrated with the integrated DIGILINE system. This approach provides a foundation that will support multiple market segments and varying customer requirements to deliver greater cost efficiency and constantly evolving solution intelligence that can be incorporated into extensions of existing and new print solutions. Industrial Digital Printing 2.0 protects customer investments and allows solutions to grow and evolve as the customers business needs change. Solutions built upon IDP 2.0 position customers to address rapid market developments in a manner that minimises implementation times and enhances productivity across a stage model. This model encompasses end-to-end secure manufacturing of high-quality printed products through the entire industrial digital printing production chain.
The stages incorporated in Industrial Digital Printing 2.0 include:
Transport and substrate-flexible product printing,
Print verification,
Tracking and tracing,
Anti-counterfeiting security, and
Integration into existing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems.
Through this innovative new model, Altlantic Zeiser is bringing to market the next step of industrial digital printing, allowing Atlantic Zeiser customers who implement the concept of Industrial Digital Printing 2.0 to provide market-leading solutions to their customers as well as to ensure that their operations remain current with the latest technology and solutions.
Atlantic Zeiser offers systems or modules for all stages of Industrial Digital Printing 2.0, integrating the most-powerful and flexible transport modules for web, sheet or single products. In substrate-flexible printing, Atlantic Zeiser delivers the widest range of print modules in the market with the OMEGA, GAMMA and DELTA families of printers, comprised of 18 different models. With Industrial Digital Printing 2.0, these capabilities are even more tightly integrated in a scalable foundational platform that will carry Atlantic Zeiser customers into the future, protecting investments, and improving productivity and profitability.
The nine integrated systems encompassed by DIGILINE Web, DIGILINE Sheet and DIGILINE Single Product are based on Atlantic Zeisers three world-class families of printing engines. These systems will be demonstrated at IPEX, giving customers a first-hand look into the future of industrial printing. Systems also include Atlantic Zeiser VERICAM, a modern camera-based component used for security printing. High-level counterfeit prevention is incorporated via different processes embedded into the product DNA via microstructure profiles of the print substrate. Under this concept, Atlantic Zeiser also integrates components for product monitoring and offers a solution for the grey market problem. Finally, new controller and software modules guarantee seamless integration of the industrial printing system into the overall industrial production process, including ERP systems.
