Three criteria to maximize
Did you know that….? Fact #1: Many printing presses are standing still nearly 70% of the time. This downtime is due to lower speeds, long change-overs, unmanned machines and administration time. This is a significant amount of downtime and lost revenue that many people aren’t aware of. Fact #2: For many operators and print shop managers, it’s difficult to get insight in the performance of their printing press. They can’t look inside and know what’s happening with the press—only what’s going on around it. Yet, with the right insights they can achieve annual savings of up to 10%, improve capacity by 20% and reduce waste by 5% within a year. Fact #3: Combining sensor technology with the internet (IoT) in printing processes will uncover the hidden potential of
machines and can bring up to 30% improvement in performance. Over the years, MPS has focused on connectivity and digital workflow to improve consistency in print quality and higher productivity. From a global analysis of nearly 100 presses, MPS knows how to maximize your press performance and maximize profitability of your business. In this article, we’ll give you three criteria to maximize your press performance. 1.
