Service Innovation
For the Highest Uptime and Machine Availability
Proactive service of the varioPRINT iX-series sheetfed inkjet press is a data-driven service concept, using sophisticated data analysis to increase the uptime of each press. It significantly reduces service visits and allows proactively scheduled visits at the most convenient time.
Usage and Condition-Based Maintenance
The printer indicates how many prints have been made since the last service moment, and data analysis algorithms detect whether one of the device’s subsystems are showing signs of wear. So Canon Service can schedule the next appointment at the most convenient time for the user, in advance, thus keeping the engine running when you need it the most.
Better Corrective Maintenance
If a part should ever break, Remote Diagnostic Systems increase the efficiency of service visits. The machine data helps Canon technicians prepare before they visit, so they have all the right parts and cleaning agents at hand. Canon recognizes time is money and we strive to keep you running so you can provide your customers with the SLA they need.
Features
