P-Net makes it possible to integrate individual POLAR components or
POLAR cutting systems into the digital workflow through P-Net
Connect. Additional functions can be added using so-called
"services". Two examples:
Compucut: with more than 25 years of experience, we
provide a benchmark for reducing makeready times. The cutting
program can be easily generated outside the high-speed cutter
because the sheet layout (CIP4 / JDF) is either taken over directly
from prepress or the sheet is recorded manually. This means that
the machine's set-up time is reduced to almost zero. With uniform
sheets it is even possible to automate the generation of the
cutting program.
Remote Diagnosis: the availability of production resources
is becoming an increasingly decisive factor. As a bidirectional
Web-Gateway, Remote Diagnosis provides the online connection
between the POLAR components and customer service. This means
downtime is shortened because service assignments can be planned.
The machine data can be regularly checked as a preventive measure
against, or to eliminate, unexpected downtime. Furthermore, the
operator has access to direct help for any questions regarding
handling or programming.
