Launching CoLos Version 7 software suite for industrial coding operations

Markem-Imaje has launched CoLos Software Version 7, a release that expands the software suite with new features designed for organisations with multiple production facilities. This version builds on the strengths of Version 6 with enhanced automation, industry compliance, reinforced security layers, and intuitive operations to increase production efficiency and reduce inconsistency errors.

Version 7 offers industry certified advanced security features, centralised management for organizations with multi-site packaging operations, high availability to minimise downtime and a next generation responsive web user interface.

The key highlight of this version is the CoLos multi-site feature that allows centralised design, control and automate approval workflows of messages/labels in production, and resource management across multiple factories globally. It ensures consistency, compliance and a single source of truth for all messages and label designs across multiple sites. In addition, it allows a comprehensive visibility into production efficiency and scale up possibilities as the scope expands.

Product quality and security are the topmost priorities at Markem-Imaje. That is why Version 7 is certified for the IEC 62443-4-2 standard for cyber security requirements for product components. This enables organisations to move local software systems used for production to central IT infrastructure without worrying about cyber security.

CoLos Software Version 7 is available for use with the complete range of Markem-Imaje printers and is now also available both as on-premises and cloud based subscription model. It follows global standards for marking and coding including 1D/2D barcodes and compliant with newest GS1 Digital Link.
