Abstract
A method for identifying a replacement industrial printer comprises receiving, by a processor, data associated with an industrial printer; determining, by the processor, an issue associated with the industrial printer based on the data; identifying, by the processor, the replacement industrial printer from a plurality of replacement industrial printers, the identifying based on one or more criteria.
Claims20
A method for determining whether an industrial printer requires remedial action or if the industrial printer can continue to be operated with an issue, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, data associated with an industrial printer, the industrial printer operating on a print line and executing a print job;
- determining, by the processor and based on the data associated with the industrial printer, an issue associated with the industrial printer;
- determining, by the processor and based on the issue, whether the industrial printer requires remedial action or if the industrial printer can continue to be operated with the issue, wherein the remedial action comprises replacement of the industrial printer and identifying the replacement comprises:
- identifying, by the processor, a replacement industrial printer from a plurality of replacement industrial printers;
- the identifying comprising:
- determining, by the processor, a third score for each one of a plurality of replacement industrial printers, the third score indicating a suitability of the industrial printer to be used as the replacement;
- identifying, by the processor, the replacement industrial printer based on the third scores.
A method for identifying a replacement industrial printer comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, data associated with an industrial printer;
- determining, by the processor, an issue associated with the industrial printer based on the data;
- and
- identifying, by the processor, the replacement industrial printer from a plurality of replacement industrial printers, the identifying based on one or more criteria.
A server comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to carry out a method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, data associated with an industrial printer;
- determining, by the processor, an issue associated with the industrial printer based on the data;
- identifying, by the processor, the replacement industrial printer from a plurality of replacement industrial printers, the identifying based on one or more criteria.
A system comprising:
- one or more industrial printers;
- one or more replacement industrial printers;
- a server comprising a processor, the server configured to:
- receive, at the processor, data associated with the one or more industrial printers;
- determine, by the processor, an issue associated with one or more of the industrial printers based on the data;
- identify, by the processor, a replacement industrial printer from the one or more replacement industrial printers, the identifying based on one or more criteria.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, data associated with an industrial printer;
- determining, by the processor, an issue associated with the industrial printer based on the data;
- identifying, by the processor, the replacement industrial printer from a plurality of replacement industrial printers, the identifying based on one or more criteria.
