Videojet partners Loftware to accelerate labeling, marking and coding automation

USA – Videojet Technologies, a global leader in Marking and Coding solutions has partnered with Loftware to change the paradigm for how companies automate printing across production lines, factories, and warehouses.

Loftware is the world’s largest cloud-based Enterprise Labeling and Artwork Management provider, offering an end-to-end labeling solution platform for companies of all sizes.

The collaboration focuses on extending Loftware’s Spectrum Enterprise Labeling solution to marking and coding.

This will enable customers to drive all their printing devices from an all-in-one, digital solution, with coverage ranging from marking and coding production devices to supply chain thermal printers.

The partnership between Videojet and Loftware offers organizations a leap forward in their automation journey without costly wholesale replacement of existing printer fleets.

With Loftware Spectrum driving their devices, companies can eliminate their reliance on proprietary software typically provided by printer manufacturers.

It offers transformation for companies who have long struggled with multiple ways of driving marking and coding devices in an environment that is typically a heterogeneous mix of print technologies and associated software from different manufacturers.

“Looking for innovative ways to improve our customers’ operational efficiency and reduce production errors is what Videojet does every day for thousands of customers across the globe,” says Ondrej Kruk, President of Videojet.

“Combining Videojet’s superior performance and range of marking and coding technologies and Loftware Spectrum, will offer companies a step-change in their digital, automation journey by controlling a mix of both Videojet and other vendors’ devices.”

The Loftware Spectrum 4.6 release, available now, expands its powerful Enterprise Labeling capabilities to include the ability to drive a broad set of marking and coding devices.

New operator dashboards combined with standard integration with business applications also eliminate unnecessary human touch from labeling, marking, and coding operations.

By ensuring the correct template and data are at each printer in both their own facilities and those of their contractors, organizations can avoid mistakes and inefficiencies from inconsistent manual interventions during product changeovers.

Through this collaboration, customers can now seamlessly implement, deploy, maintain, and easily scale all their labeling, marking, and coding operations across multiple plants from a unified platform.

They also can eliminate the costly and time-consuming issues brought on by manual intervention and mislabeling on the production floor while benefitting from global oversight capabilities while enabling local autonomy.

Loftware Spectrum is compatible across a full range of Videojet high-quality printers and offers configurable user interfaces driven by business rules, and APIs to support integration with production and business systems.

Combined with the innovative VideojetConnect Remote Service and the largest field service team in the marking and coding industry, Videojet helps improve factory line uptime while reducing the need for customer intervention in marking and coding processes.
