Global Graphics Software joins OPC Foundation

Connecting print to smart factories requires you to talk their language

Global Graphics Software has joined the OPC Foundation, the organization responsible for the development and maintenance of the OPC (Open Platform Communications) Industrial Interoperability Standard. Global Graphics Software is the developer of award-winning components used in digital printing systems which are increasingly part of connected processes in smart factories where printing is part of the manufacturing process.

OPC UA is the interoperability standard for the secure and reliable exchange of data in the industrial automation space and in other industries. It is platform independent and ensures the seamless flow of information among devices from multiple vendors.

Eric Worrall, VP of products and customer success at Global Graphics Software comments: “OPC UA will allow us a standard way to communicate with devices within the production line such as PLCs. It will also allow us to communicate up to SCADA and HMIs controlling full production process, not just the printing subsystem. Collecting the data and providing historical analysis will enable innovations like predictive maintenance. We will work with component suppliers to add OPC UA interfaces to electronic components in the print system to allow plug and play integration. We also have versions of our RIP technologies that can be run on Arm platforms and aimed at the Internet of Things. Adding OPC UA connectivity to these IoT solutions will allow standard connectivity and the strong security required for IoT.

Justin Bailey, Global Graphics Software’s managing director adds: “The OPC Foundation is an 800+ strong international community, and we look forward to becoming an active member. The function of print is changing and the OPC UA standard is already in use in industrial environments that want to add print into their processes. Our OEM customers targeting their solutions at the industrial sector will welcome the connectivity potential that our solutions will provide.”

Stefan Hoppe, president and executive director of the OPC Foundation, comments: “The OPC Foundation warmly welcomes Global Graphics Software as a new member of the largest ecosystem for secured industrial interoperability. OPC UA not only enables seamless secure data transport from the field to the cloud (and back) – an essential aspect is the standardization of the information to be transported e.g. also for the printing industry – we are therefore looking forward to the cooperation of the experts from Global Graphics Software.”

Global Graphics presents at VFB Expert Tips day

Cambridge (UK), 7 April, 2021: Global Graphics PLC (Euronext: GLOG) is taking part in VFB’s virtual Expert Tips day on 24 April, 2021.

Chairman Guido Van der Schueren and CEO Mike Rottenborn are taking the opportunity to present the “new” company to investors following the recent acquisition of HYBRID Software in January 2021, which has nearly doubled the headcount and revenues of the group.

Global Graphics develops enterprise software for industrial inkjet printing. A growing part of the manufacturing sector, industrial inkjet is when printing technology is used in broader manufacturing processes such as ceramic tile production, textiles and wall coverings, 3D printing and packaging.

Guido Van der Schueren comments, “We are looking forward to getting out and about to meet shareholders and prospective investors, even if, initially, this is in a virtual setting. We are planning a more active programme of activities this year in response to our shareholders’ requests to get to know the company better.”

Mike Rottenborn adds, “The four operating companies in the group – Global Graphics Software, HYBRID Software, Meteor Inkjet and Xitron – all develop innovative solutions, many of which are award winning. Despite the pandemic we put in a solid performance in 2020 and are on a strong footing for the year ahead. We want to present an up-to-date picture of the company for potential investors and see the VFB Expert Tips day as the ideal platform to do so.”

The presentation and Q&A session will be given in a mixture of English and Dutch.
