Printing
In today’s digital world, printed material is still paramount - often considered more trustworthy and eliciting a greater response to act than digital materials. This advantage, however, requires a significant investment in large-scale, specialized commercial printers to either mass-produce content at a very low cost or print smaller runs with a great deal of flexibility.
Regardless of whether you’re a larger publisher, a custom print shop, or even a converting or packaging company providing printed labels, cartons, or flexible packaging, you will gain valuable insight into your processes, margins, and production losses with the Vorne XL Productivity Appliance. Vorne XL moves printing operations far beyond manual data capture to gain critical insights for effectively driving process improvement and actualizing change with 100+ metrics and 20+ data dimensions.
Other benefits of XL that customers love include no software to install, no servers to maintain, no recurring fees, and no contracts. Instead you get unlimited users, free technical support, a 3-year warranty, and free software updates. All in an inexpensive, off-the-shelf product.

Monitor your litho or flexographic printers, screen or gravure printers, and other equipment with one solution, quickly seeing benefits such as:
- Reduced Changeover Time Whether you are performing a full plate change or quick change die-cut procedures, Vorne XL will provide you with accurate historical data for each type of changeover - an accurate and comprehensive base of data that you can use effectively to drive improvement.
- Standardize on Optimal Run Rates Don’t let opinions drive line speeds that vary by operator. Instead, define line speed profiles by analyzing historical cycle times and average speed and run rates by part in XL to optimize the balance between speed and quality.
- Precise High-Speed Inputs Feel confident that every print is recorded with high-speed inputs capable of tracking hundreds of cycles per second.
- Multiple Digital I/O and Count Data Convert cycle inputs to your desired unit of measurement, counting in terms of total and good linear feet, meters, pieces, boxes, or rolls, as well as scrap rates.
- Full OEE and Pareto Analysis Compare assets or process streams by measuring accurate Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) with Availability, Performance, and Quality metrics. Visually display your data however you prefer - column charts, Pareto charts, line charts, heat maps, and many more.
