SLIMLINE printers are all about bringing Industry 4.0 within reach. To achieve this we specifically designed this new line of equip-
ment to excel in an IoT network environment. On the software side by making any tailored printer control solution easy and
quick to implement. And on the hardware side by re-using as much as possible of existing network and IT infrastructure.
Allowing for significant savings on printer hardware. Something that's an absolute first in Coding & Marking.
LESS CODING ERRORS
The biggest savings in coding are not found in the cost
per print, maintenance costs nor equipment price.
Because although these costs are still very important,
they are insignificant in comparison to the costs of a
product recall or factory downtime due to coding errors.
This is why SLIMLINE printer control is specifically desig-
ned to address coding errors. Be it human, mechanical or
process related.
LESS PROGRAMMING
TIME
Second cost component in IT is the need for extended
scripting. Which at the same time is also the main reason
for complexity. To address these issues we designed
SLIMLINE printers to be open and omnicompatible to
other third party software as well. The idea behind this is
simple: The more software that supports our printers,
the bigger our offering in turn-key software solutions.
And with the world as our IT supplier there's always
going to be an existing specialist for each application.
Because of this with SLIMLINE printers you no longer
need to script every new or exotic requirement from
scratch. Nor conform to the capabilities of just the
printer manufacturer's software. Instead, our printers
will allow you to use to best suited and already proven
software for the application. Something that, with no
financial incentive to sell our own software, will always
be enabled and promoted by Kortho objectively.

The costs of IT solutions traditionally start with license
fees. In order for SLIMLINE to work Kortho took the strate-
gic decision to offer our own Kortho Control Center
software for free. This label design and network control
platform can operate the entire range of SLIMLINE
printers from one central GUI. And with more than a
decade of IoT oriented development will cover 95% of all
smart coding requirements. Straight out of the box, free
of charge and with all features unlocked. Effectively
turning our software into a service product without profit
motive.
Just like with software the key to reduce hardware costs
lies in needing as little as possible. This as Kortho will
never make concessions on equipment build quality in
order to lower its price. Luckily in centralized control this
is not needed as equipment savings can also be found by
re-using existing infrastructure. This is why SLIMLINE
printers are designed to operate without each needing
an individual HMI. Everything you need is in the printer
itself so that up to 250 different systems can be operated
from one single terminal. Even across different producti-
on plants. Naturally each printer can still be equipped
with its own HMI, but this is optional. Meaning that the
more the control is centralized, the bigger the savings
will be on controllers. On top, SLIMLINE printers can also
be controlled from any previously purchased HMI.
Allowing for further hardware savings by re-using
already present servers, PC's, tablets or other devices to
control the printers from.
