Case Study: Link-Tech achieves real-time print monitoring and more accurate cost tracking with Lantronix XPort

Link-Tech boosts print monitoring accuracy 100x with Lantronix

Link-Tech Inc., a supplier of productivity technology for the commercial printing industry, faced the challenge of helping printers accurately track operations and material costs to support a shift to a time and materials business model. Their initial method of using a basic flow meter was inefficient and laborious. To build a better solution, Link-Tech partnered with vendor Lantronix and used its XPort embedded device server to add network connectivity.

By integrating the compact Lantronix XPort into its Ranger R3000 Flowmeter design, Link-Tech created a next-generation solution that provides real-time remote monitoring of ink usage and operational data. This enabled commercial printers to access crucial data instantly, achieve 100 times greater accuracy in tracking costs, and provide more accurate customer quotes. The solution implemented by Lantronix resulted in improved system efficiencies and a enhanced return on investment for printing companies.
