Generative AI, such as ChatGPT and Bard, is gaining momentum and driving the demand for data centers. According to research, the generative AI market is projected to reach U.S. $126.5 billion by 2031. Given growing demand, ensuring maximum efficiency in data centers should be a top priority.

Businesses are currently grappling with economic uncertainties arising from labor shortages, supply constraints, and inflation, all of which hinder the post-pandemic recovery. As a business owner or leader, your goal is to ensure the long-term success and resilience of your company despite evolving market conditions and emerging technologies. A well-defined IT strategy can help you adapt swiftly, allowing for resource reallocation to align with changing priorities. So, what’s the most rational approach to long-term IT planning, particularly when it comes to label printing solutions?

As an IT manager, you know that time is money. And when a printer goes down, it can be a major disruption to your business, but also a distraction from your busy schedule. That's why TSC has developed the Rapid Deployment feature, which allows you to quickly and easily deploy new printers, or configure existing printers, with minimal downtime.

Most businesses need effective inventory control and management. Companies across industries are seeking ways to gain real-time visibility and increase control over their inventory for better management. RFID technology can effectively help enterprises track and manage assets ranging from production equipment to shipping cases, commodities, and more.

Labeling is a vital aspect of various industries that delivers essential information, yet it generates a considerable environmental footprint. For instance, an application using 6,000 ribbons annually with a standard roll configuration (110mm x 300m) can consume up to 833 kg of plastics, equivalent to nearly 25,000 plastic bottles.1  As environmental protection becomes increasingly important, many businesses are now seeking greener products and solutions to decrease their environmental impact to comply with regulations, contribute to sustainability, and win customers. Automatic labeling is a standard practice for fulfilling high-volume labeling applications. However, to reduce the environmental impact of these processes, print and apply professionals are dedicated to using greener solutions, such as ribbon-saving functions.

Rising demand for automation and complex labeling applications has made automatic labeling grow in importance across various industries. Increasing customization, labeling requirements, and technological advances have led many businesses to search for solutions that help them cope with these growing demands while improving productivity and efficiency.

Changing any part of a print-and-apply system requires tremendous effort for Systems Integrators (SI). Taking print engine replacement as an example, SIs will have to reconfigure system settings or purchase new parts, spending additional time and resources.
