EFI has launched the EFI IQ Suite with free and paid applications, designed to operate with Fiery Driven™ cut-sheet digital printers, help printing businesses extract value from data to minimise bottlenecks, optimise equipment utilisation and increase profitability.
The free applications include: EFI IQ Dashboard which provides a personalised view of a user’s digital printing operation and is the launching pad for all EFI IQ applications. Users can monitor the status of any printers, consumables and job status on their Fiery Driven printers.
EFI Insight provides users with deep historical data in an interactive environment to help users transform print production data into actionable analytics that drive business improvement.
EFI Notify allows users to get production-blocking alerts, as well as establish timing for automatic distribution of production reports.
It also allows customers to get IQ capabilities such as dashboard metrics, notifications and more on their mobile phones via the EFI Go app.
The paid applications in the Suite include EFI ColorGuard cloud-based that software helps automate and standardise colour verification and calibration processes to help ensure printers get the best colour output.
‘Print operations generate an overwhelming amount of data, and it can be difficult to transform that volume of data into actionable business insights,’ said Toby Weiss, senior vice president and general manager, EFI Fiery. ‘Our objective with the EFI IQ Suite is to make data readily available in a form that makes it easy for users to take action. That way, customers can optimise production in real time with a goal of creating the most efficient and effective digital printing operation possible.’
The IQ Suite currently supports cut-sheet digital presses driven by Fiery front-ends but EFI plans to extends it capabilities to its wide-format printers too. To access the free services, print businesses need to open an EFI IQ account online.
