Autocoding Printer

PT Tata Metal Lestari has a wide range of SKUs, and operators frequently made errors when manually configuring printer settings during batch changes, causing production losses. We developed an integration system where the server generates data files in a shared folder, and our software detects modifications and automatically updates the Markem CIJ 9450s printer settings without human intervention.
