RFID tracking of printing cylinders

Thousands of cylinders identified and located, with automatic checks on how the presses are set up.

Thousandsof cylinders identified and located

The challenge

Manage thousands of printing cylinders, cutting search times and automatically checking that the production machines are set up correctly. Every cylinder needed a unique RFID tag and a known location.

The solution

We built an RFID platform integrated with the company information system: it identifies the cylinders automatically, locates them in the operating areas and checks that each machine set-up is correct.
