An industry-specific solution for polygraphy
The specialized solution for polygraphy covers process management from the customer order to the machine. For every customer order, the system determines a lead time, while the procedure evaluates available materials, delivery time, production resource load and production time.
Polygraphy requires specific preparation – creating printing plates, templates and settings for the particular print run. Each order has a unique set of parameters: paper type, color mode, page count, cover type, binding method. Machine setup involves time and material consumption, which must be reflected in the production schedule.
When an order is received, TECHNOCLASS® automatically checks whether the required materials are available, calculates production time against machine load, and determines a realistic lead time. If materials are missing, the system proposes a delivery deadline.
On the shop floor, real-time reporting of completed print runs, scrap and corrections is done through terminals. The system tracks every order from intake to finished product, records materials consumed, and calculates the actual cost.
Communication between the machines and the system takes place through the TECHNOCLASS Terminal Data Collection System.
