Known for its industrial line of printers, Videojet has extended networking options for users who need wireless connections but are squeamish about connecting their printers via just Wi-Fi—or Ethernet cabling—to internal plant or enterprise networks. To get some separation between plant networks and printers on the plant floor, Videojet has come up with a cloud-based solution that connects to plant floor printers via a private cloud network served by a cellular network. The solution is especially geared to servicing and maintaining printers.
The Videojet Customer-Independent Cellular Network (CICN) is an enabling connectivity solution for VideojetConnect Remote Service (VRS). The CICN uses cellular gateways to create a network across a manufacturer’s site and connect its fleet of printers to the cloud. The CICN is completely separate from a customer’s internal plant network.
