Würzburg, Germany based Koenig & Bauer announced a new partnership with industry expert Tessitura, a software developer within Steuber group. This collaboration’s goal is to bring unprecedented levels of flexibility, efficiency, and transparency to production processes through the various functions available in Koenig & Bauer’s myKyana portal.
The partnership is built on a shared vision of an open, interconnected production environment that doesn’t limit customers to a single manufacturing brand.
Tessitura’s Odeon-Platform, which serves as the backbone of this collaboration, is designed to connect all printing and finishing machines within a company, regardless of equipment manufacturer, whether modern or classic, and across single or multiple sites.
The myKyana portal, Koenig & Bauer’s flagship digital platform, now allows the integration of third-party machinery. Two of the standout components of the myKyana portal are Kyana Assist, an AI-driven chatbot, and Kyana Data, a comprehensive performance dashboard tool.
Kyana Assist is an advanced AI-driven assistant. It offers instant technical help, providing detailed, machine-specific guidance without the typical wait times of traditional service calls. Beyond troubleshooting, Kyana Assist is a resource for maintenance tips, ensuring smooth operation. Soon, it will also include AI-powered data analysis, allowing users to identify anomalies and make informed decisions quickly. Additionally, users can open support tickets directly within the platform.
Kyana Data provides deep insights into production processes through customized dashboards. It offers real-time monitoring, allowing users to identify and address issues, which helps minimize downtime and boost productivity.
