In a printing environment, equipment management can become a real headache. Between monitoring ink levels, scheduling maintenance and optimizing processes, operators have to juggle numerous daily tasks. That's where Mimaki's PICT comes in.
With Mimaki's PICT, operators benefit from remote monitoring of their machines thanks to multi-platform compatibility. Available on PC via the PICT UP application, or on mobile, this centralized system provides access to key digital press data at any time. Updates on machine operating status are sent every 5 minutes, ensuring immediate access, even away from the office.
PICT offers increased granularity in data collection, including ink levels, digital press performance and production statistics. This level of detail enables managers to make more informed resource management decisions, optimize consumable use and reduce waste. Detailed tracking of ink usage over several periods also helps to anticipate future needs.
It allows digital presses to be grouped according to various customized criteria. This feature is particularly useful for companies operating a large number of Mimaki presses. Grouping gives an overview of machines with specific needs, making it easier to monitor and manage equipment collectively.
Thanks to event notifications and ink usage projections, PICT helps anticipate maintenance needs. By closely monitoring ink levels and accumulated operating hours, operators can plan replacements and maintenance before a problem leads to production stoppage. This kind of proactive monitoring not only improves press availability, but also helps limit unplanned downtime.
