Calsonic Kansei North America - Intermec

plants do not have air conditioning or
heat, so temperature extremes are
common in winter and summer. The
PM4i printer was the ideal choice because
its industrial design and heavy-duty
metal construction was specifically built
to withstand taxing environments.
“In our environment, we really put our
printers through a good survival test,” said
Amy Clark, IT supervisor, Calsonic. “We
found the 3400 printers to be extremely
durable, but we are now finding that the
PM4i printers are even more so. This is
important because our printers are not
simply sitting on a desk. They are placed
in a manufacturing environment enduring
intense activity 24 hours a day. We
know that when using Intermec printers,
we will receive high quality output no
matter the external conditions.”
A Value Added Printer
While Calsonic enjoyed the functionality
and performance of the 3400 printers,
the company is experiencing additional
key benefits as they continue the PM4i
rollout. One major benefit is that the cover
on the PM4i is attached by hinges and
is not removable, thus minimizing dirt
and new maintenance issues. Another
advantage is that the PM4i printer keypad
interface, which enables operators to
easily program the printer when changes
are needed, can also be locked to avoid
accidental input – a feature that reduces
maintenance demands and ensures
uninterrupted production. Lastly, because
PM4i printers come equipped with
standard network connectivity, they are
ready to work right out of the box, saving
setup time and trouble for IT resources.
A Smooth Migration
The migration to the new printers has
been seamless, and the company is
finding them to be as dependable and
easy to use as expected. Calsonic is also
pleased that operational productivity
has been steadily maintained without
any major business disruptions or
down time during the transition.
“We’ve always had great support and
success with Intermec,” concluded Clark.
“Because of this, upgrading to the PM4i
was a practical decision for our company.
This migration is going exceptionally well
and we look forward to our continued
business partnership with Intermec.”
