February 2006 - Maxatec announces the introduction of the Advantage XML printer from Cognitive Solutions. An Oracle Certified, XML-enabled, high performance thermal label printer, the Advantage XML is an extension of Cognitive's flagship product, the Advantage LX.
The Advantage XML printer eliminates the need for third-party software, middleware or a custom print server, because all current Oracle WMS default label formats are preloaded in the printer making it available for immediate use. XML label design software is also available for generating custom Warehouse Management System (WMS) labels.
Cognitive's XML-enabled printers were developed to allow printing directly from Oracle's Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Mobile Supply Chain Applications (MSCA).
The best-selling Advantage LX and the Advantage XML printers, include the only all-metal print mechanism in their printer class, providing outstanding reliability, performance and value for any application. Advantage printers are proven to withstand tough industrial environments. Specified to print continuously, the printer can produce more than 5,000 labels per day; the rugged metal print mechanism is designed to withstand the rigors of warehouses, conveyor lines,
manufacturing environments and more.
"Our goal is to facilitate data exchange efficiencies for our customers now that data standards like XML have become adopted in today's marketplace," said Raul Palacios, Cognitive's director of product management. "The Advantage XML printer provides our customers with an excellent, cost effective option to efficiently generate labels on demand, without requiring additional hardware and middleware."
Cognitive Solutions is a partner in the Oracle PartnerNetwork. For more information about Cognitive's Advantage XML printer or Cognitive's other high-performance products contact Maxatec.
