Problem Solution

Our solution

Automatic, continuous control of print parameters without interrupting production

GMDE implements automated control systems that continuously monitor registration and density throughout the print run and automatically adjust press settings to keep all parameters within predefined tolerances.

Misurazione in continuo di registro e densità

Sensori in linea rilevano i parametri di qualità su ogni foglio o a intervalli definiti, senza fermare la macchina e senza richiedere l'intervento dell'operatore per le misurazioni di routine.

Correzione automatica in tempo reale

Quando il sistema rileva uno scostamento dai valori target, interviene direttamente sui meccanismi di registro della macchina o sulle calamaie per riportare i parametri all'interno delle tolleranze, prima che la deriva produca copie fuori standard.

Dashboard di monitoraggio per il responsabile di produzione

Visualizzazione in tempo reale dell'andamento dei parametri di qualità durante la tiratura, con storico consultabile e alert automatici in caso di scostamenti significativi.

Reportistica completa per ogni commessa

Report con i dati di registro e densità misurati per ogni tiratura, utilizzabile per la certificazione della qualità verso il cliente e per l'analisi delle performance produttive nel tempo.

The problem we know well

Registration and density never remain perfectly stable throughout a print run.

Registration and density are the two key parameters that determine the visual quality of every offset print job. Both naturally tend to vary during production due to mechanical, thermal and process-related factors. Without an automated control system, these variations accumulate over time, resulting in non-conforming copies or requiring constant operator intervention that slows production.

Fuori registro progressivo durante la tiratura, con copie che mostrano aloni cromatici, testo mosso o immagini sfuocate nelle lunghe tirature.

Variazioni di densità che alterano il colore percepito delle immagini e dei testi, con copie non conformi alle specifiche del cliente.

Fermi macchina frequenti per misurazioni manuali e aggiustamenti, con perdita di produttività e aumento dei costi di manodopera.

Impossibilità di dimostrare al cliente la conformità della tiratura agli standard di qualità con dati oggettivi.

benefits

Consistent quality from the first copy to the last

Automatic control eliminates the gradual drift of registration and density, ensuring that the thousandth copy matches the quality of the first, regardless of the length of the print run.

Fewer press interruptions for manual measurements

The system continuously measures print parameters without stopping production, allowing operators to focus on managing the press rather than constantly checking and adjusting settings.

Reduced waste caused by quality variations

Immediate automatic corrections prevent the accumulation of out-of-specification copies, resolving issues before they result in significant waste.

Objective documentation of print quality

Reports generated for every print run provide measurable data that demonstrates compliance with ISO standards and customer specifications, helping reduce disputes and strengthen customer confidence.

More effective operators, less operational pressure

The system handles continuous monitoring and routine corrections, allowing operators to focus on decisions that require expertise rather than repetitive parameter supervision.

Performance analysis over time

Data collected from every print run makes it possible to identify trends, anticipate maintenance needs, and continuously optimize press settings to reduce waste and variability.
