When Printing Becomes a Control Function – and Increases Throughput
In modern shipping logistics, the printer is no longer just an output device. It is a synchronization point within the automation chain — and a direct lever for higher throughput. At automated packing and conveyor stations, timing defines performance. If documents are printed too early, too late, or without process synchronization, buffers build up. Lines slow down. Manual intervention increases. This is where the Microplex SOLID 60A3 makes the difference. Videos GPIO – Direct Machine Communication The optional GPIO interface enables real-time signal exchange with conveyor systems and PLC-controlled environments: Print release triggered by the line Ready/Busy/Error signals fed back […]…continue

Expanded GPIO Functionality for Even Greater Flexibility
The Microplex GPIO interface is designed for seamless integration into industrial environments. It enables direct printer interaction with PLC systems, automated workflows, and higher-level control architectures. Now we are taking this functionality one step further. With the new GPIO Splitter, the integration possibilities are significantly expanded. Simultaneous operation of signal tower and full GPIO functionality Fully compatible with existing installed GPIO options No changes required to current system configurations Enhanced signaling and integration flexibility This means: Your printer can continue communicating with automation systems via GPIO — while the signal tower simultaneously provides clear and immediate visual status indication. And […]…continue

2-Color GHS Labeling – Safety-Critical Printing, Done Right from Day One
In chemical production, labeling is not optional — it’s a safety-critical process. When a global chemical manufacturer set up a new labeling solution at its Czech Republic site, the requirements were clear from the start: small-format GHS labels, unmistakable hazard highlighting, reliable operation — and immediate availability. The decision The customer deliberately chose Microplex Printware AG and the logiJET TC8 for this new installation. Not as a simple printer choice — but as a strategic decision for safety, flexibility, and long-term operability. Two-color GHS printing for clear visual hazard differentiation Reliable output on compact labels (145 × 45 mm PT […]…continue
