Welcome to the future of production processes!
With SMARTData, BST GmbH, the global leading full-service provider of quality assurance systems for the web processing industries, introduces innovative software that enables holistically optimized workflows.
What exactly is SMARTData? This intelligent software collects and manages data from various web processing systems and sensors, in a centralized single database. However, the platform is not limited to BST’s own systems and sensors – thanks to the open interface (REST API), third-party systems can also be seamlessly integrated. This makes managing complex quality assurance systems incredibly simple and highly effective, while retaining the tried and tested interfaces of individual systems.
The areas of application for SMARTData are diverse and are particularly in demand in the printing and packaging as well as batteries and fuel cells industries. In these sectors, high demands on production are unavoidable. In web printing, for example, it is crucial to deliver the highest quality and minimize waste through defect detection and prevention. The same applies to battery foil production, where speed, maximum precision and flawless production are imperative.
The added value of SMARTData is particularly evident in the three crucial work areas:
Prepress, data review, and cross-process transfer.
In prepress, data for configuring production machinery is entered only once and then seamlessly transmitted to production. This saves time, prevents errors, and streamlines operations.
In the review process, you benefit from the simple and compact availability of the data. As a result, errors can be quickly identified and evaluated, allowing subsequent processes to continue with minimal delay.
Data transfer ensures more efficiency in subsequent processing. Products with defects can be accurately identified and sorted out. SMARTData enables seamless quality monitoring, documentation, and optimal quality control of the final product.
Thanks to the open interface, data from any other system can be added to SMARTData, and all data is available for evaluation at any time.
With SMARTData, BST completes its product portfolio, offering a solution that can improve existing and new quality assurance systems on the long term. The focus is on generating added value. SMARTData effectively embodies BST’s motto: “Perfection through innovation”.
Join us at Labelexpo Europe in Brussels (September 11 – 14, 2023), booth 3D40, and experience SMARTData up close! We will show you how the software works and what advantages it offers specifically for label printing.
