Tailored Solutions has claimed it can now enable label printers to utilise the latest in direct machine monitoring.

Using devices developed by REI, LLC, which demonstrated its direct machine monitoring concepts at Labelexpo Americas 2004, printers can port job specifications, including label sizes, material types and cost, estimated times and footages, into their direct machine monitoring system.

That means that operators no longer need to enter data into the direct machine monitoring system, thus reducing errors and streamlining operations.

Discussing the availability of direct machine monitoring capability, Tailored Solutions' vice-president of sales and marketing Luther Erlund commented: "Printers can now manage their businesses better and monitor production more closely by utilizing direct machine monitoring devices such as those offered by REI together with Label Traxx software.

Tailored Solutions has taken a major step toward computer integrated manufacturing in the label industry and once again leads the industry in making new automation possible." Tailored Solutions provides automated job management software for the printing industry.

Ken Meinhardt and David Porter, both of whom remain active in the business, formed the company in 1993.

It offers two versions of its job tracking software, Label Traxx, for flexographic narrow web converters and printers and Litho Traxx for sheetfed lithographic printers and pre-press trade shops.

All software is designed for use on both Macintosh and Windows platforms.
