IGAS 2022 Report (4), November 26th (Sat.)

Smart Factory Solutions Corner

This report looks at some of the many solutions that RMGT introduced and exhibited at IGAS for assisting printing companies to make their printshops "smart factories."

RMGT Operation Management System

The RMGT Operation Management System connects all of the production equipment in the printshop via a network for visualization of operating status and enhanced interconnection between processes. The RMGT Cloud, MIS, workflow software, and all production equipment in the booth were connected via a network, enabling the job instructions, operating status of the press and other equipment, and the operating status analysis results to all be confirmed in real time.

Press Voice Assistant Tool (reference exhibit)

This is a voice assistant tool for automation of press operation using the operator's voice commands. Simply by starting with "OK, GT", visitors to the RMGT booth were able to experience an entirely new way to automatically operate the press using voice commands.

Plate Supply System (reference exhibit)

Together with a video about the plate supply system introduced in the demonstration of the 970PF-8, booth staff explained in detail this new system of process linkage for automatically sorting, transporting, and changing the plates for labor-saving operation.

Nipper automated guided vehicle*

The RMGT booth made full use of the Nipper automated guided vehicle. This corner highlighted the advanced features of the Nipper, including faster travel speed and enhanced safety. Visitors listened to explanations of how a Nipper operation management system or a web app on a tablet computer is used to remotely control the automated guided vehicle in sync with the press's operating status.

AI control

Big data collected from the press is analyzed using AI technology to further automate and optimize press settings and operation.
