The EVOLUTION Printer Series have an installed base of approximately 13,000 (Thirteen Thousand) systems in a variety of industries in different countries around the globe as May 2011.
The EVOLUTION Printer Series have already been successfully integrated into gummed tape machines, labeling equipment, tray wrappers, form fill and seal machines and more.
The EVOLUTION Printer Series offer an exceptional opportunity to System Integrators and OEM’s.
The EVOLUTION Printer Series have two operation modes:
-
A STAND-ALONE environment. with the hand-held controller which limits the user for a more simplified approach and actually
uses less tha 50% of the system capabilities.
-
A FULLY INTEGRATED AND CONTROLLED environment from an external source such as: a PC-based automated control system or a PLC, through:
-
THE BUILT-IN EVOLUTION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY: This is the low-level communication protocol which is implemented using the standard RS485 serial comunications protocol via a RJ-45 connector, along with:
-
THE EMBEDDED EVOLUTION COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL (EVP): This is our propietary (easy to use) high-level application protocol to specify how EVOLUTION Printing Language and data (ASCII hex encoded) are structured in
order to access/retrieve all the features of the printing system via a serial link for integration into special environments.
-
With either operation mode, the heart of the system is this propietary technology based on a modular design offering a level of sophistication nort generally found in other ink jet technologies, therefore allowing the use of advanced programming standards for a Windows based applications.
Costs can be greatly reduced via system integration by eliminating the requirement for such items as the hand-held controller, power supply etc.
Digital Design is available to assist our OEM’s and System Integrators in their endeavors to partially or fully integrate the EVOLUTION Printers into their special integration environments.
