SpencerMETRICS iDPA CONNECT & Kodak NexPress

The SpencerLAB Digital Color Laboratory (Booth 4741) is announcing the future of productivity intelligence with SpencerMETRICS iDPA CONNECT. Currently under development, SpencerMETRICS iDPA CONNECT offers all the rewards of iDPA PLUS and the benefits of an integrated productivity tool. Kodak (Booth 3187) is the first iDPA CONNECT partner with Kodak NexPress Digital Production Color Presses.

SpencerMETRICS iDPA systems have shown the significant benefits of collecting and integrating operator knowledge with data from the press. iDPA CONNECT adds the ability to capture press data via automated data entry of the pressí processes such as maintenance, paper changes, idle time, etc. The data is collected, integrated, and intelligently analyzed, making press diagnostic features relevant to actual productivity, while still allowing management to easily compare multiple presses, multiple shifts, and workflow periods.

iDPA CONNECT, an optional module to iDPA PLUS, will become available as each press type is integrated, thereby working optimally with each individual pressí system capabilities.

SpencerMETRICS iDPA, iDPA PLUS, and the future iDPA CONNECT are designed to aid press owners in pinpointing opportunities to increase productivity by analyzing press operation and operator knowledge on the shop floor. A cloud-based system, the data is rapidly analyzed on demand and results are easily accessible—available anytime, anywhere—on a laptop, a tablet, or even a smartphone, in an intuitive graphical format providing an overview of all press activities. Data includes press performance, pre-press errors, media problems, etc., in conjunction with human assessments such as unacceptable print quality or incorrect media usage—and much more.
