Digital Twins of the Print Floor

Industry Insights Team
The concept of a 'Digital Twin' has moved from aerospace to the print shop. By mapping every sensor on our offset and digital presses into a real-time virtual model, we can predict outcomes before we even mount a plate.
Simulation vs. Reality
Want to see how a new high-viscosity ink will perform on a humid day? We run it in the digital twin first. This allows us to optimize the press settings virtually, saving hours of 'makeready' time and reams of waste-paper.
Historical Playback
When a job goes wrong, we don't just guess why. we play back the data from the digital twin to see the exact moment the tension or temperature fluctuated beyond the tolerance threshold.
