Management software SOS

sharingconnectivityprinting

SATO SOS is a cloud-based system that connects SATO NX & FX3 printers with SATO, sharing information that enables remote preventative maintenance and error detection without the need for an on-site engineer. Through online connectivity, the status of multiple printers is monitored, proactively preventing costly downtime and associated loss of revenue. In addition, the system tracks daily data across multiple units and locations, allowing printer maintenance technicians to offer efficiency improvement recommendations. A broad range of data is collected, including: serial number, location, status of expendable parts, systems information and error logs. SOS data helps customers to streamline their operations. For example, printer allocation and the need for additional printers, part replacement, stock replenishment and printer errors can all be identified in real-time. This allows managers and engineers to act with preventative measures and keep operations running. Before SOS, operational challenges could only be identified as they occurred, resulting in unplanned downtime. The SOS solution is capable of operating in two modes: ‘real time’ that monitors the printer online (and communicates via MQTT and HTTPS encrypted data) and ‘on-demand’ that requires no internet connection. Currently offered with real-time mode, the solution will soon be available in on-demand mode as an alternative for operations without an internet connection or those operating under strict security protocols.
