Loftware and SATO Corporation announced the availability of their cloud-connected label printing solution for AEP-equipped SATO printers.

The joint solution, which connects Loftware Cloud with SATO's cloud-connected printers, eliminates printer driver dependencies, allowing IT teams to avoid installation, troubleshooting, updates, and management.

"In today's fast-paced business environment, manufacturers face many challenges, such as changing customer, legal and regulatory requirements; remote working and collaboration; rapid scaling up of operations; and improving productivity while reducing operating costs. Traditional desktop label design applications, while effective in the past, are no longer sufficient to manage these complexities. The solution provided by SATO and Loftware addresses these challenges head-on by offering a centralized and secure platform for label design and printing," says Hayato Shindo, group business officer at SATO Corporation.

 

“Our partnership with SATO delivers a powerful cloud-connected label printing solution that streamlines supply chain operations, enhances efficiency, ensures compliance, and eliminates IT complexities. Businesses can now achieve greater agility and scalability, all while reducing costs and improving overall workflow management,” adds Denis Stojanoski, Loftware senior alliance program manager.

Key takeaways:

·        Users can access the latest approved label templates from anywhere, at any time, through a secure browser and seamlessly print from their SATO printer. The platform also streamlines user management, enabling administrators to quickly add and approve new users in minutes without the need for license keys, reducing administrative burden and improving operational efficiency.

·        The Loftware/SATO partnership supports a range of industry applications, including supplier compliance to ensure accurate and timely labeling and RFID tagging for improved supply chain efficiency; in-plant labeling to enhance process control within factories; retail labeling to maintain consistency and compliance with industry standards; and third-party logistics (3PL) labeling to enable seamless integration for logistics providers.

·        Loftware Cloud expands labeling capabilities across internal stakeholders, external suppliers, co-manufacturers, and co-packers.

·        With seamless integration into both on-premise and cloud-based business applications such as ERP, WMS, and PLM, Loftware Cloud optimizes workflows for greater efficiency and accuracy.

·        SATO's cloud-connected printers further enhance this solution with effortless installation and mobility. Simply connecting a LAN cable ensures the printer is ready for immediate use. This plug-and-play functionality makes it easy to relocate printers as needed, giving businesses the flexibility to adapt to changing operational demands.
