Large format digital printing and new production of anti covid-19 masks, the versatility of an Industry 4.0 company in Lombardia
2019
The challenge
SISMAITALIA is a company operating in the areas of marketing, business communication and advertising, mainly aimed at the world of large retailers. The company deals with 3D printing, 2D digital printing, finishing, billboards, truck-side and door-to-door ads with a considerable dose of innovation in the choice of cutting-edge and eco-sustainable materials and technologies.
The solution
In 2019, the company took advantage of tax concessions relating to the super-amortization of new capital goods, thanks to the interconnection with business systems created through Orchestra’s RETUNER technology, used for both new and existing machines.
RETUNER was integrated with RIP Caldera and with Nexio to allow the exchange of programs and the interconnection of the machines between the two production sites of Verona and Cernusco Lombardone.
The access IP for VPN connections from the PCs used for graphics was reorganized, they can now operate on the company server from the two production sites by sending documents, creating work orders with relative drafts and shipping labels. All this is done independently, with no more email exchanges as was previously the case. The operators also use their smartphones to read and send bar-codes to the Interlem management system and to RETUNER MINIMes4.0. In this way the operator can use a single phone both for the management of production data and to make calls.
