Industry 4.0 is profoundly shaping the future of our factories and the products chosen for installation within them. Manufacturers are increasingly adopting interconnected systems, automated operations, and remotely monitored performance metrics that are analyzable from any location.
Step into the realm of Thermal InkJet printing’s future with Domino’s Gx-Series. This collection of Thermal InkJet (TIJ) coding and marking systems caters to the requirements of versatility, easy integration, and user-friendly operation for manufacturers in the Food, Pharmaceutical, and Electronics sectors.
The printers in the Domino Gx-Series are equipped with a feature-rich touchscreen interface accessible directly at the controller or via a web browser. Remote monitoring of printer performance, cartridge status, and ink levels is also possible. Introducing a new feature, LEDs are now integrated into the print heads to signal when cartridges require replacement.
Furthermore, the Gx-Series meets the growing demand for track & trace and item-level serialization through the Dynamark protocol audit trail, featuring comprehensive user administration and optional validation documentation.
Designed in collaboration with leading OEMs, the Gx-Series takes into account various printing applications and substrates, providing high-quality coding for simple batch and date coding, intricate code formats, and track & trace applications.
As manufacturers continue to choose Domino’s TIJ coding and marking solutions for their speed, clarity, flexibility, and easy installation, they are also contemplating the future, a future that extends beyond the printer.
The new Domino Gx-Series builds upon the core strengths of our G-Series range while delivering a significantly enhanced user experience and interface. It boasts full multi-language support and technology that facilitates seamless integration with a variety of Industry 4.0 solutions.
Automation and Networking
Customers acquiring the Domino Gx-Series will benefit from access to Domino Designer, a user-friendly PC-based label design tool that is easily accessible and editable by factory operatives in a controlled and error-free environment.
Users can create labels away from the factory floor and transmit them directly to the printer via Ethernet or USB. This eliminates the need for operators to manually input codes on multiple machines across a production line, thereby reducing the risk of errors.
The Domino Gx-Series, in conjunction with Domino Designer, presents a future-ready solution that facilitates the effortless creation of labels, swift transfer to the printer, and enhances accuracy and control in production.
Remote Monitoring and Control
Typically, the Domino Gx-Series printers require minimal service and maintenance. This is due to the absence of serviceable parts, with the ink system being replaced when operatives change a cartridge. The printers are designed to be straightforward in operation, running smoothly and requiring minimal maintenance.
In the unlikely event of an issue, Domino Cloud provides comprehensive protection for your Gx-Series, detecting equipment problems early to preempt downtime events. Domino Cloud aids in maintaining your printer and addressing issues through remote diagnostics, event alerts, and remote monitoring.
Data from your Domino Gx-Series TIJ printer is transmitted directly to Domino Cloud, accessible internally by manufacturing operatives or analyzed by the Domino team. As part of our SafeGuard package, we are available to monitor your printer’s ‘health’ and can remotely guide you through a simple fix or dispatch an engineer with necessary parts if required.
Easy Integration
When time is precious, it’s necessary to streamline as many processes as possible. And that includes the installation of a new printer.
Our new generation of Thermal Inkjet printers is ready to be integrated into smart factory applications with a small footprint, remote print head mounting where only the print head itself needs to be installed on production lines, and industry-standard protocols where printers can be retrofitted easily.
The small space requirements remove any difficulty when it comes to fitting the Gx-Series, and the range benefits from flexible print head mounting positions. The Gx-OEM controller model is specifically optimised for control cabinet integration and has an 80% volume reduction compared to the G-Series OEM controller.
Future-Ready
In fast-paced sectors like Food, Pharmaceutical, and Electronics, downtime can mean a considerable loss of revenue. Domino has built on the key strengths of the previous G-Series TIJ, addressing the needs of OEMs and end customers alike for a future-ready solution with a seamless, more versatile user experience and integration procedure.
