Digital. Resource-saving. Efficient.
The COT ePaper solution replaces the printing process in classic label printing by converting PDFs or IGP print data to be compatible with standard ePaper. The solution can be used in any process in which the printed documents are disposed of at the end (logistics, order picking, production). The ePapers can be reused after each process and can be easily mounted on surfaces and load carriers - leaving both hands free for the work process.
Data is transmitted wirelessly (2.4 GHz), per Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) oder Bluetooth 5.1 (Bluetooth Low Energy - BLE) and it is possible to use modern WLAN infrastructures.
The next step towards a digital and sustainable supply chain.
The COT ePaper combines many advantages in a single solution. The elimination of consumables and the low power consumption make it a sustainable alternative to classic label printers and, thanks to the virtual data cycle, initiates the next step towards the digitalization of your company.
