Roland Upgrades DG Connect

Roland DGA Corp. (Irvine, CA) has announced the release of new Roland DG Connect version 3.0, offering users additional options, features, and operational capabilities, according to a press release from the company.

Roland DG Connect is a cloud-based app that helps users create a more productive and efficient print operation environment with Roland DG devices, providing tools to improve workflow, visualize analytics and optimize profitability. Additionally, Roland DG Connect makes it easy for users to access support documents and updates, remotely track machine status or usage, and download media output profiles — per the release.

While the “Standard” Roland DG Connect app is available to owners of compatible Roland DG devices free of charge, two new subscription-based plans — “Professional” and “Premium” — are now available that further expand the app’s capabilities. All free and subscription-based plans include, among other features, “Printer Monitoring,” a “Device Dashboard,” and a “Business Dashboard,” which enables multidimensional analysis of a variety of data. This feature allows customers to quickly visualize detailed information on the ink consumption of multiple printers, printing time, output in square meters, usage time, and the achievement of target operation rates.

Now included in both the Professional and Premium plans is a “multi-user function” that allows customers to view information on devices at locations that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to access directly. The new Professional and Premium plans also include an “Automatic Backup Function” that automatically saves print settings within Roland DG VersaWorks RIP software and restores them at the touch of a button when needed, allowing for smooth resumption of operations in the event of PC malfunction, addition, or replacement.

The Premium subscription service includes all the functionality and benefits of the Professional plan, plus even more advanced workflow and business management features, such as the exporting of detailed data for more in-depth analysis and the ability to share device information with up to 10 accounts.
