DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.,
Dec. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Markem-Imaje, part of Dover (NYSE: DOV), is launching
Confidence 360, a rental program which gives manufacturers a
cost-effective way of benefitting from high-quality, turnkey coding
solutions. Scalable and customizable, Confidence 360 covers all
hardware, software and consumables needed to code products, cases
and pallets, at a fixed, periodic fee, with no upfront cost.
The new program gives manufacturers the flexibility to build a
coding solution that meets their particular production challenges
and business goals while adapting easily to changing market
demands. Users can choose to add or upgrade equipment when needed,
include software for automation, and make certain they have the
right consumables at the right time to ensure high-quality prints
with predictable costs and simplified operations.
Confidence 360 consists of three elements: Coding 360, Packaging
Intelligence 360, and Supplies 360. Coding 360 is the heart of the
program and offers flexible equipment rentals, while Packaging
Intelligence 360 and Supplies 360, both of which are optional,
include advanced production control software and convenient
sourcing of consumables.
Coding 360 offers easy access to the market's most comprehensive
range of printers and coders. By providing manufacturers with
equipment replacements and upgrades every three to five years,
users can rest assured that they have the most cutting-edge
technology.
Packaging Intelligence 360 lets manufacturers add digital
solutions to their printers and coders to improve productivity and
accuracy. Markem-Imaje offers software, cameras and software
support agreements, allowing digital control of data, coding and
packaging.
Applications available under Packaging Intelligence 360 include
product tracking, promotional coding, serialization, line
management, overall equipment effectiveness, pallet tracking,
coding integrity and packaging integrity. The result is improved
line efficiency, brand protection and compliance, with minimum
waste and errors.
Supplies 360 makes it easy to get genuine Markem-Imaje inks and
other consumables, avoiding alternatives that are not calibrated
for the selected equipment. This enables business continuity and
reduced ownership costs by ensuring plants are using the most
cost-efficient and effective consumables to maximize printer
availability and performance.
"Modular and flexible, Confidence 360 helps manufacturers find
the ideal balance between quality and cost, maximizing their
investment returns. It also gives them peace of mind and ensures
they can easily evolve their coding solution as their needs
change," said Viktor Hermansson,
Global Marketing and Communications Manager, Markem-Imaje. "Having
received overwhelmingly positive from customers following a trial
in select European countries, we decided to make this program
available globally. We are excited for more manufacturers to be
able to experience the many benefits this new program has to
offer."
Budgeting is made easier with a fixed monthly or quarterly
payment, removing the need for a single upfront investment and
turning a capital cost into a more manageable operational expense.
This helps achieve a faster return on investment and releases funds
for more important business priorities. It also allows
manufacturers to get the solutions they need without being
concerned about the full purchase price.
As part of the program, Markem-Imaje provides certified
installations, user training and operator assistance with the
option of premium services such as preventive maintenance visits,
parts and a 24/7 helpdesk (subject to local availability).
