SATO AEP
(Application Enabled Printing)
Are you looking for an easy-to-use, flexible and cost-effective solution to print labels for your business?
AEP technology is a powerful on-board intelligence within SATO AEP-enabled printers that offers great flexibility and versatility for the customisation of labelling applications. Through this next generation of smart printing, our AEP-enabled printers can be used as standalone printing solution without the need for a PC, making this highly cost-effective.
With AEP, users can perform labelling with ease and minimal training is required as operation is controlled from printer display and label formats are built and stored in printers with minimal human input required.
Printer operates without a PC thus less space is required, up-front investment and running costs are also reduced.
Improve productivity with simple to use applications and less operator training.
Controlled AEP applications can limit unauthorised use keeping the printer operating with minimal interruption.
Easily connect with other devices such as PLC for label printing. Save time from having to perform time-consuming tasks such as device customisation.
What is AEP? | Customer Benefits |
PC-less - Eliminates need for separate printers & PCs, with no third-party software for OS & middleware, no licenses required & easier update roll out |
Perfect fit - Ideal for areas where space is minimal, or where the environment is unsuitable for a PC |
Peripheral device connection - Printer can process info internally and link to devices such as scanners, weighing scales, thermometers and PLC |
Reduce total cost of ownership - Reduces business downtime and decreases system maintenance with less recurring costs |
Onboard intelligence - Decisions are made by printer and not by unqualified staff |
Improves the labelling process - Easy and intuitive labelling process that improves efficiency and productivity, while minimising the risk for human errors |
Cloud enablement - Connect the printer directly to IT and cloud systems |
Direct connectivity to IT and cloud systems - Reduces system complexity meaning less things can go wrong and makes troubleshooting easier |
