Increasing utilization is not about working harder - it's about working smarter.
Harnessing innovative technologies can help address these key utilization challenges head-on.
For example Konica Minolta’s IQ-601 Intelligent Quality Optimizer is a game-changing automation unit integrated into production presses. It brings hands-free, real-time quality control and color consistency directly to the press.
It helps with:
- Automatic front-to-back registration for precise image alignment.
- Real-time color control and adjustment with no manual intervention.
- Reduced waste and setup time, improving uptime and press efficiency.
- Ensuring color profiles remain consistent, job after job.
This results in fewer reprints, higher quality output, and - most importantly - more time printing.
There is also the IM-104 Intelligent Media Sensor that helps elimianate common causes of downtime such as media mismatches and feeding issues. The IM-104 Intelligent Media Sensor solves this by:
- Automatically detecting media type and weight before the job runs.
- Reducing the need for manual media input or trial-and-error configurations.
- Preventing misfeeds or print quality issues caused by incorrect media settings.
By removing guesswork from the equation, the IM-104 helps reduce setup time, improves first-time-right prints, and keeps the press running smoothly.
