Printer Monitoring

Amscreen M2M can help Printer manufacturers to understand how their equipment is used, maximise consumable sales and lower maintenance costs.

Background
Specialised printers for document, label and manufacturing processes are often configured for standalone operation within business premises or industrial plants. Printer manufacturers often create revenue streams from the sale of consumables such as specialised inks, paper and toner; and need to ensure that the correct consumables are replenished. Unauthorised replacements not only loose revenue, but often cause maintenance issues and manufacturer repairs due to inferior quality.

Printer Monitoring Solution
Amscreen’s platform provides wireless GPRS connectivity to each remote printer, offering remote monitoring independent of the end users IT network. It enables data within remote printers to be automatically collected on a regular basis to a central point for alarm, usage and trend reporting.

Benefits
Printer monitoring allows usage trends to be understood to reduce downtime, aid consumable replenishment and maximise revenues often through ongoing pay-per-use services.

Diagnostic data to identify problems
Raise alarms automatically as problems occur e.g. ink low
Monitor and report on a continual basis to view usage trends e.g. number of prints, times of day
Supply Chain Integration to automate the replenishment of consumables
Smart services that permit ongoing revenues on a usage basis.
