Solving Printer Downtime in Manufacturing Operations
In manufacturing and logistics, operational downtime is one of the most costly and frustrating pain points professionals face. Every minute lost due to printer failures or jams disrupts workflows, delays shipments, and adds to labor costs. In fact, the average manufacturer faces 800 hours of equipment downtime per year, leading to millions in lost productivity, repairs, and missed deadlines.
Why printer downtime is such a critical issue
Label and receipt printers are essential tools for tracking products, shipments, and inventory. When these printers malfunction:
Shipping labels can’t be printed on time, leading to missed delivery windows.
Inventory tracking suffers, increasing errors in stock counts.
Manual workarounds slow down processes and increase the risk of human error.
Overall productivity declines, creating a ripple effect across the supply chain.
Many standard printers struggle in industrial environments due to dust, temperature fluctuations, or heavy use, leading to frequent jams and breakdowns.
