Your Production Floor, Fully Connected

Packaging production generates enormous amounts of data. But data alone doesn’t move the needle—intelligence does. BOBST Connect is a cloud-based digital platform built for printers, converters, and tool manufacturers. Leveraging state-of-the-art IoT technology, it connects your equipment to a rich ecosystem of digital solutions, giving you the visibility and control to make every shift count.

What BOBST Connect Delivers

Real-Time Visibility

Monitor key machine status from a single customizable dashboard. Know what’s happening on your floor before problems become downtime. 

OEE That Actually Improves

Track Overall Equipment Effectiveness per shift, per job, and across time periods. Machine learning automatically suggests downtime causes, so you spend less time diagnosing and more time producing. 

End-to-End Digitalized Workflows

From recipes to digital twins, deviation detection to actionable recommendations, BOBST Connect digitizes every step of your production loop.

Built to Integrate

Connect your machines with your existing ERP and MES systems via open APIs. BOBST Connect is the bridge between your production equipment and the software ecosystem you already rely on.

for Kemna Druck Kamen

The platform shows us how effectively we are using the machine. The equipment monitoring feature gives us a quick glance at machine status, production metrics, and utilization. This is particularly useful for intervening if we see a long downtime. You don't really need training to use BOBST Connect. The dashboard and platform are easy to understand and use. The DIGITAL MASTER 340 machine sends the required data automatically, so there's no additional effort required from our side.
