Background:

A leading manufacturing company was looking to transition from a big batch production model to a build to order production model. In order to achieve this, they needed a reliable solution that could provide production labels within 20 seconds and failover to an alternate printer in case of any disruptions. It was also critical that no duplicates were printed.

Problem:

The company had previously relied on the native print spooler utilies, which had resulted in duplicated labels and failed attempts to re-start on the next label. This was causing production to slow down and resulted in inefficiencies.

Solution:

The manufacturing company partnered with Plus Technologies to implement OM Plus print output management software to solve their production label printing issues. The solution would need to be robust enough to failover within 20 seconds to an alternate printer and assure that no label was printed twice.

Implementation:

Plus Technologies’ team of experts delivered professional services to the manufacturing company to ensure that the OM Plus solution was implemented successfully and that the IT staff was trained on managing the solution. The design provided failover capability within 20 seconds, along with the promise of no duplicates or elimination of duplicates?

Conclusion:

The manufacturing company was able to achieve their objectives through the implementation of the OM Plus print and output management software, along with the support of Plus Technologies’ professional services team. The solution provided a reliable and robust output solution, helping the company to achieve production efficiency and avoid any disruptions.

Results:

The implementation of the OM Plus solution proved to be a success, providing the manufacturing company with the robust and reliable output solution they needed. The failover capability and elimination of duplicates allowed the production process to continue smoothly and efficiently, helping the appliance manufacturing company achieve their goal of transitioning to a build to order production environment.
