In Shipping Logistics, Higher Throughput Matters.
That’s where true integration makes the difference.
Conveyors, scanners, sorters – everything runs in sync. With Microplex printing solutions, your print process becomes part of that synchronization.
The optional GPIO interface is fully integrated into the printer control system and managed directly by the Microplex Print Controller. Thanks to this, Microplex printers evolve from simple output devices into an active element of your automation.
What makes this different with Microplex?
- Direct PLC communication:
Microplex printers exchange signals in real time with your conveyor systems – no complex integration layers needed.






- Print exactly when the process requires it – for higher throughput:
The print data is sent to the printer in advance and processed by the Microplex Print Controller. The actual printout starts only when an external trigger signal is received — for example, when a parcel reaches the applicator.
No early prints, no delays, no misalignment.
- Higher throughput
Perfect synchronization means more parcels per hour – with stable, continuous operation. - Real-time status & signal integration
Printer status can be fed directly into your systems or signal towers – ensuring full process visibility. - Flexible expansion (e.g. GPIO Splitter)
Run signaling and control functions in parallel – without changing existing installations.
The Microplex difference
Our printers adapt to your infrastructure – not the other way around.
Your data streams, workflows, and systems remain unchanged.
Or simply put: Microplex doesn’t just integrate – it thinks along.
