grapho metronic was founded in 1967 as a measurement technology specialist for automation and quality assurance in the printing industry.
We are still closely connected to our roots. To this day, Manroland printing presses all over the world work with our systems.
Measurement technology in printing presses means:
- The fastest processes
- Maximum precision
- Harsh industrial environment
- Robust design and construction
- Fast data evaluation and data transmission
- Deep integration with machine control system
Industry 4.0, i.e. all aspects of data collection, data processing, data evaluation and data utilisation for business models such as predictive maintenance, including remote services, have been part of day-to-day business in the printing industry for many years.
We have mastered all these aspects. Successfully. For decades now.
