Markem-Imaje, part of Dover Corporation and a global provider of end-to-end supply chain solutions and industrial marking and coding systems, on 11 June announced the launch of CoLOS Software Version 7, a release that expands the software suite with new features designed for organizations with multiple production facilities.Â
This version builds on the strengths of CoLOS Version 6 with enhanced automation, industry compliance, reinforced security layers, and intuitive operations to increase production efficiency and reduce inconsistency errors.Â
According to the company, CoLOS Version 7 offers industry certified advanced security features, centralized management for organizations with multi-site packaging operations, high availability to minimize downtime and a next generation responsive web user interface.
The key highlight of this version is the CoLOS multi-site feature that allows centralized design, control and automate approval workflows of messages/labels in production, and resource management across multiple factories globally. It ensures consistency, compliance and a single source of truth for all messages and label designs across multiple sites. In addition, it allows a comprehensive visibility into production efficiency and scale up possibilities as the scope expands.
Product quality and security are the topmost priorities at Markem-Imaje. That is why CoLOS Version 7 is certified for the IEC 62443-4-2 standard for Cyber security requirements for Product components. This enables organizations to move local software systems used for production to central IT infrastructure without worrying about cyber security.Â
The Version 7 is available for use with the complete range of Markem-Imaje printers and is now also available both as on-premises and cloud-based subscription models. It follows global standards for marking and coding including 1D/2D barcodes and is compliant with the newest GS1 Digital Link.
