SpencerMetrics Announces Integrated Support of Zünd Cutting Tables

SpencerMetrics, a premier provider of real-time data collection, analysis, and reporting automation solutions for Print & Packaging, announced integration and support for Zünd cutting tables. Zünd users can now experience the benefits of SpencerMetrics CONNECT and LYNK.

With one of the broadest multi-vendor, multi-technology support capabilities in the Print and Packaging industry, SpencerMetrics offers an enterprise-wide platform to gather and analyze data from vital equipment on the production floor. Intelligent software communication enable CONNECT and LYNK solutions to automatically collect rich data including machine status, jobs information, counts, material usage, etc., eliminating manual data collection. Further, these solutions bridge islands of automation across many varied vendor-specific products. Conventional, legacy equipment is integrated into the platform via AUTOMATER edge computing.

Zünd equipment has been at the forefront of providing the latest technology. The Zünd Cut Center software suite facilitates multiple aspects of the production workflow – from file import and production planning, to cut data optimization, cutting system management, and remote production monitoring. The SpencerMetrics integration will enable Zünd users to elevate the performance data from their Zünd devices to an enterprise-level management capability.

Lars Bendixen, segment manager Graphics at Zünd Systemtechnik AG, said, “SpencerMetrics is well known in developing intelligent solutions for data collection, monitoring, and analysis of digital production equipment. The successful integration of our digital cutting systems underlines the fact that our production systems are connected, that they can be easily integrated into the production workflow. Zünd Cutters are ready for next-level connectivity to support Smart Factory platforms."

“As our user base expands from commercial and transactional printing into labels and packaging, the platform needs to support equipment in that space. We are pleased to add Zünd to the roster of equipment we support. Integration with Zünd cutting tables allows us to bring added value and to support plant automation and Industry 4.0 initiatives,” said Yutak Kwok, IT director at SpencerMetrics.
