It takes as little as 10 minutes to learn how to improve printer fleet management.
As part of the Nubeprint team, I was testing NubAI, our generative AI assistant, which is similar to Chat GPT, the other day. And I did it with the intention of making it difficult, I wanted to know how far it was able to go in its answers. Truth be told, I was perplexed at the accuracy and detail it showed me. Do you want to know how it surprised me…?
By asking some typical questions suggested by the NubAI wizard, these were the exact answers, just as NubAI answered them:
1. Give me information about the A4FK011004733 printer.
“The printer with serial number A4FK011004733 is a Konica Minolta Bizhub C284 model, color multifunctional. It has a total print counter of 585226 prints, with 472127 in black and 113099 in color. The IP address is 192.168.1.142. Toner levels are: 36% for black with 9720 pages remaining, 95% for cyan with 23750 pages remaining, 90% for magenta with 9144 pages remaining, and 78% for yellow with 19500 pages remaining. The black drum kit is at 63% with 81900 pages remaining. The fuser kit is at 93% with 548700 pages remaining. The transfer belt is at 86% with 193500 pages remaining. The waste toner is at 36.94% with 14775 pages remaining. The color drum kit is at 77% with 73150 pages remaining.”
2. What is the black consumable coverage on the A4FK011004733 machine?
“The black consumable coverage on the A4FK011004733 machine is 15,804%.”
3. How is the performance of the Madera project?
“The performance of the Madera project can be described as follows:
– There are no printers with a usage rate considered optimal, indicating that all printers are underutilized.
– The project has a total of 6 underutilized printers.
– The monitoring rate of the printers is not optimal, with 6 printers not adequately monitored.
– In terms of color management, of the 6 printers, 2 are adequately managed, with an average monthly color management of 29.
– The project has achieved a total CO2 savings of 94.86 kg and has recycled a total of 47 cartridges, reflecting a positive environmental awareness.
– The total waste percentage is 4.60%, with an environmental measure of 95.40.
– Currently, there are no data capture devices (DCA) online and 1 offline.
– There are 3 machines online and 3 offline, which could affect operational efficiency.
– All printers are connected as NET and have thresholds set in days.
– All underutilized printers have a delivery method in DIRECT DELIVERY.
– A total of 2 technical alerts and 8 user alerts have been recorded, with a monthly average of 0.33 and 1.33 respectively.
These indicators suggest that there are areas for improvement in the performance of the Madera project, especially in terms of printer utilization and monitoring.”
And so much for my experience in just 10 minutes, the efficiency of the answers speak for themselves. Then I put myself in my client’s role and, with NubAI’s answer in one hand and the Panel in the other, I started to adjust parameters in the system to improve the management of the contract I asked about.
It was a simple process and within anyone’s reach. The NubAI Wizard allows any account manager to identify in minutes opportunities for improvement in order to take steps to save on costs and optimize the printer fleet without having a deep knowledge of the panel or its functionalities: just ask and get a real-time answer from your NubAI Wizard.
