REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS — STAYING CONNECTED

At Pictorial Offset, Carlstadt, NJ, three major pieces of equipment have remote diagnostics: a gapless Goss (Heidelberg) Sunday 2000 heatset press; an eight-color MAN Roland 708 press with UV tower; and the plant’s MegTec exhaust afterburner.

The principal advantages these remote capabilities give to Pictorial are that the company saves time and money in its maintenance programs, and is learning best practices for the use of its equipment, assesses Gary Samuels, managing partner.
