KBA North America is partnering with its customers to introduce Performance Report – part of KBA’s efforts to reduce waste for its printer customers, increase a facility’s performance, and save significantly on production costs. “We’re excited to offer this new intelligent analysis to our customers,” said Tim McKeon, KBA VP of Service and Operations. “The new Performance Report allows us to evaluate a customer’s machine data from log files of almost all of our KBA Rapida presses. After an in-person visit from our team of experts, our customers will receive a monthly report about the performance level of their machines – including data on printed sheets, average speed, number of job changes and washing time. This report will give them the ability to check that their machines are running at maximum performance while providing them with the opportunity to assess the productivity of their machines and review their progress. This performance report is a great way to get back on track and get an outside perspective on areas of improvement,” he added.
The new system’s benefits include:
- Superior print performance
- Optimized print quality
- Improved machine capacity
- Enriched optimization potential
- Minimized machine downtimes
- Reduction of costs via fewer waste sheets
- Enhancement of all printing processes
KBA’s team of experts will observe the physical condition of the press, interview the press crew and pressroom management, as well as maintenance personnel. After observing the press and staff in action, findings will be presented to the client’s management team with recommendations, suggestions and any other actions moving forward.
