Can you tell me about Tenova as a company?
Tenova is a worldwide supplier of advanced technologies, products, and services for the metal and mining industries. It provides comprehensive solutions for steel making, thermal processing, cold rolling mills and metal processing. Tenova also handles the storage, loading and unloading of bulk materials from mines to end users of iron ore, coal, bauxite and other mining products. Skilled engineers and technicians form the backbone of a network of more than 30 operating companies located on five continents.
Given the nature of your business, Tenova prints a great many large format documents. Can you briefly explain what your workflow looks like?
Product life cycle management at Tenova includes technical documents from different CAD systems. These documents are printed on Océ printers. We have three different types of printing. Firstly, production printing in the central repro department on very high volume Océ TDS860 printers. Secondly, check printing on departmental Océ TDS400 wide format plotters. And thirdly, scaled A3 and A4 printing on office printers. Based on the life cycle and print user, each print may contain information on the document’s status, a banner page and so on.
Océ Repro Desk Studio software was recently installed at Tenova. How has the software benefited you?
Thanks to Océ Repro Desk Studio printing times have been reduced by about 70%. As a result, the process of sending out a contract has been significantly improved. What’s more, the integrated accounting function allows us to allocate costs correctly.
