Plate Lifecycle
Pages are placed, ripped, imaged and then processed by your CTP device - typically the end of the “management view”. Not anymore. The BPM system creates a command “control center” to manage, monitor and control plate flow, system operation, alarm and detection, preventative maintenance, remote control, trouble-shooting, programming, with or without web-base capability and database reporting. Each supervisory system is custom-configured, based on the number of presses and/or plate management lines.

The BPM™
Optimize each plate line in the transportation, bending, punching, shearing and transport status of your plates from the CTP device to the press, all with the click of a mouse.

Each line is custom designed to specification for each press and their unique requirements. Management options for multiple CTP devices, presses (including per cylinder), and requirements are all built into each system. Your lines can be remotely be diagnosed and even adjusted to troubleshoot or optimize plate management and handling. The BPM can be integrated with the "On Command" bar code reading system. Together they create a powerful management tool designed to supervise and manage printing plate manufacturing.
