0% wasted ressources

100% transparency

Capture data and reduce CO₂ emissions.

Why energy management?

Rising energy costs, sustainability targets and regulatory requirements are making energy a key competitive factor in the printing industry. On the road to improved energy efficiency, it is worth taking a detailed look at the energy requirements of your entire site – from production to building technology.

Today, digital technologies make it possible to record and visualise electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions and more. The seamless monitoring of this data is the basis for recognising long-term savings potential and initiating improvement measures.

Important functions

VisuEnergy X is the only solution on the market that enables the generation of industry-specific energy KPIs depending on the printing performance.

Capturing energy data

The EnMS enables automated reading of meters, data loggers and IoT sensors via all common APIs – scalable and expandable with additional sensors as required. Non-networked meters can be recorded manually using the corresponding mobile app (iOS & Android).

Visualisation and key figure generation

Energy data flows are graphically visualised using a variety of pre-designed chart types. A dashboard toolkit makes it easy to create customised analyses.

Comprehensive energy monitoring

The platform enables continuous monitoring and seamless documentation of energy data and thus provides the basis for a successful energy management. A look at consumption patterns and specific consumers reveals where the greatest savings potentials are located.

Reports and records

Extensive reporting and export options simplify the provision of evidence to customers, end users and regulators. The EnMS archives measurement data reliably and securely so that it can be retrieved retrospectively at any time.

Digital Packaging Workflow

with PrintFusion

With PrintFusion, the interface between Koenig & Bauer Rapida presses and the prepress software from HYBRID Software, your workflow becomes even more efficient. PrintFusion enables a bidirectional exchange of information that ensures seamless integration and automation of production processes. Thanks to the jointly developed PrintFusion interface, data such as setting parameters and positions of measuring elements are automatically exchanged between prepress and the printing presses. The automated data exchange leads to significant increases in efficiency and error prevention, as manual intervention and repetitive tasks are eliminated.

Long-term technology partnership for innovative 360-degree packaging workflow

For the development of PrintFusion, HYBRID Software and Koenig & Bauer have combined their expertise to create a highly automated and efficient production environment that meets the requirements of the modern printing industry. This collaboration will continue on an ongoing basis in order to constantly optimise the interface and integrate new functions. One example of this is the automatic feedback to compensate for process-related substrate stretching, which is already being introduced as part of a pilot customer programme.

A look into the future at drupa 2024

PrintFusion has been presented to the public for the first time at this year’s leading trade fair for printing technologies. Visitors will have the opportunity to gain an exclusive insight into the first results of the close partnership between HYBRID Software and Koenig & Bauer. Through automation and the intelligent exchange of data between prepress and press, PrintFusion will set new standards in print production and pave the way for a sustainable and high-performance future in the printing industry.

Printing goes Metaverse

with NFT-Technology and “Gemme”

Under the project title “Printing Goes Metaverse”, Koenig & Bauer is building a bridge from classic printing to the metaverse in collaboration with NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, Milan) and epda (european brand & packaging design association). With the support of Italian design students, a project was realised that uses NFT technology to authenticate luxury goods such as limited edition handbags, jewellery or valuable trading cards. The luxury jewellery brand “Gemme” was created as an exemplary visualisation.

Classic print meets metaverse

Digital proof of ownership is used instead of conventional paper certificates of authenticity. The forgery-proof blockchain technology is impressively demonstrated using special printing technologies and a digital app. This innovative combination of digital proof of authenticity and the traditional art of printing shows how the printing industry is connecting with the new digital reality of the Metaverse.

What advantages does NFT technology offer

An NFT is a blockchain-based token that represents digital or physical assets such as artworks, digital content or media. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, each NFT is unique and non-exchangeable. It serves as a digital certificate of ownership and authenticity and enables owners to trade and sell their assets.

Brands from the luxury goods segment in particular are using NFT technology to enable customers to connect the digital and physical worlds. The main focus here is on the experience of being able to use the purchased product in the digital world. In addition, forgery-proof authentication can be guaranteed by NFT’s unique verifications with a complete history and absolute security.

How does the printing work?

Using a special printing process, functional structures that react to the touch of smartphone sensors can be applied to almost any printed product, creating a link between the physical product and the digital application. In combination with QR codes, this creates a forgery-proof proof of ownership. Customers receive both an origin-verified, printed NFT-Twin and the physical original.
