Meteor expands portfolio with new MetIndustrial DFE

Meteor Inkjet Ltd, leading supplier of industrial inkjet printhead driving solutions, has further expanded its software portfolio with the launch of MetIndustrial—a ready-to-use Digital Front End (DFE) specifically designed for industrial applications where printing is one element of the overall manufacturing process. MetIndustrial is a ready-to-use DFE designed for industrial applications where printing is an element of the overall production process and motion control is external to the print system, i.e., motion control is provided either by a PLC or a system associated with, for example, the robotics.

With Meteor’s PrintEngine at its core, MetIndustrial responds to the motion of the industrial application rather than controlling it, easing incorporation with existing manufacturing processes. Seamlessly integrated with Meteor printhead drive electronics, MetIndustrial is suitable for both prototype and production environments. With an intuitive user interface, MetIndustrial offers functions including print queue control, job prioritisation and print process feedback while simplifying setup tasks for stitching, masking and interlacing.
