SMARTcure is the AI-supported control system from IST METZ for UV and LED curing processes. The smart UV technology supports users in optimizing processes and promotes energy-efficient work. SMARTcure specifies a recommended UV output based on the current production conditions. Thanks to modern interfaces and the option of predictive maintenance, SMARTcure is ideally suited for use in future-oriented production environments.
SMARTcure is available for the LED UV system LEDcure NX.
The SMARTcure technology from IST METZ optimizes the drying process through the intelligent use of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud connectivity. Once the print data has been retrieved and stored locally, SMARTcure automatically connects to the IST cloud. All relevant color data for the job is transferred to the cloud.
An AI-based model analyzes the ink data there and calculates the exact UV dose required for each ink. The dryer regulates its output as required and reduces energy consumption to the necessary level without manual intervention. SMARTcure also offers users the opportunity to provide feedback on the drying result. This feedback is used by the system to continuously develop the AI model and make future drying processes even more precise and efficient.
For suitably equipped systems, a warranty of up to ten years is available. This is subject to the applicable warranty terms and the required operating and service conditions.
