PAE Business has launched the AR Data Box – an alternative hosting tool for the Printanista Hub print device management solution. The AR Data box provides patented technology to enable copiers and printers to always report meters, toner levels or error codes by utilising a dedicated relay box and eliminating issues relating to offline sites or machines.
AR Data is designed to be an alternative hosting tool which allows for a constant connection between the customer’s network infrastructure and the Printanista Hub Cloud Service. Removing the traditional issues and disruptions associated with installing the Data Collection Agent onto a server, PC, or laptop which could be subject to accidental uninstallation. loss of power, or removal of the host machine from the end-user’s network.
The company says the introduction of the AR Data Box is a major step toward
a low cost, maintenance-free DCA host. The box comes pre-configured ready for deployment and with an easy-to-use web interface, it’s also small enough to hide away inside an MFD and once up and running, can be put into anti-tamper mode to avoid unwanted configuration changes onsite, further minimising the potential for failure.
