Digit-S offers remote Technical Assistance during confinement

Digit-S offers remote Technical Assistance during confinement

Jul 1, 2020 | Companies

The current situation derived from the COVID-19 crisis we have experienced has led most companies to improve their technical assistance processes and procedures to be more efficient and give more added value to their clients without the need to travel in order to carry out the work in person.

Traditionally, companies in the ceramic sector have had an unquestionable international vision. This has caused that for a long time, the technicians of the sector in Spain have been travelling to other countries around the world to help and support their customers. However, the closing of borders has not only stopped exports, but also the technical assistance provided by these professionals.

But the ceramic industry has always known how to adapt rapidly to changes, seeking solutions to the problems that appeared along the way.

A clear example of this are the suppliers of ceramic inks and glazes, most of which have stop their activity due to not being able to go out and assist their clients, although, some of them, such as those who collaborate with Digit-S, have not been so affected because of having a color management system synchronized with their customers.

According to Alejandro Martín, CEO of Digit-S: “Digit-S’s presence in more than 10 countries around the world has meant that all our technological solutions have been developed to make remote work for a long time. Thanks to our Color Management software, KROME Ceramics, ink suppliers have been able to continue giving support to their customers”. He also considers that: “the implementation of control systems for existing digital production processes is already possible, and it´s something that is helping companies to improve the technical assistance to their customers and to be more efficient”.

Digit-S’s Color Management software allows, among other advantages, the synchronization of inkjet machines thanks to the Decorative Modules, a system that takes the colorimetric information of a production process as a reference and allows to produce the same design by different machines without the need to make adjustments, providing greater flexibility to the plant, optimizing resources and product development times. Once these Decorative Modules have been created, the software analyzes the color deviations of the machines creating one file for each of them, maintaining the original tone of the design.

With this system, the suppliers for inks and glazes have been able to synchronize the company’s plotter with the inkjet machines of their clients around the world, which has made that the designers and technicians could carry out most of the assistance at home, and send the final designs to the customers taking the same result.

A way to the digitalization of ceramic factories. Ceramic 4.0

A way to the digitalization of ceramic factories. Ceramic 4.0

Feb 17, 2018 | Companies

Nowadays ceramic industry is facing one of the deeper changes in its recent history, the digital transformation of companies towards the Industry 4.0, that is, the digitalization of production processes in all the steps.

In general, this new concept refers to the fact that the machines used to produce are able to work without human support, but are also able to take the necessary decisions and actions if the process is not working in the way that would be expected. This evolution, which will allow the digitalization of all the process, is based on three action spaces: measurement, reaction capacity, and the creation of new solutions.

To adapt this new paradigm of Industry 4.0 to a special industry like ceramics, Digit-S will introduce in Cevisama the “Ceramics 4.0” concept, which integrates all the necessary elements to have a digital control of the production of ceramic tiles from the point of view of the product, using KROME SUITE, a software package with integrated algorithms which allow to maintain the control over the final result of the design, because it predicts the behavior of the production chain for the connected elements to work in the best possible way to obtain the desired result without variation in tone.

During the next edition of the fair, to be held in Valencia in February from 5th to 9th, Digit-S will show on its booth sited at N3-P3 A38 the tools that make KROME Suite, including a new software for the digital control of production tone called KROME Tone.

KROME Tone is a new system which determinate the color difference between the Central Tone of a design and the pieces used to make the tone control in production, so if there is any difference higher than the approved by the company, it automatically adjusts the tone to give continuity to the production of the design. With this system it is possible to achieve the “Unique Tone”..
