HELPING MANUFACTURERSSTREAMLINE PROCESSES, SIMPLIFY COMPLIANCE & REDUCE COSTSManufacturers of all sizes face a growing array of challenges: strict compliance requirements, complex labor regulations, unstable exchange rates and rising costs of raw materials—all putting pressure on your bottom line. Konica Minolta’s EnvisionIT Manufacturing initiative addresses these business concerns with focused workflow solutions, lean manufacturing efficiencies, improved processes and comprehensive IT strategies to keep you a step ahead. For total support with single-source reliability, today’s leading manufacturers count on Konica Minolta.

Manufacturing is a fiercely competitive business—and profitable operations can depend on protecting confidential processes and patents while safeguarding production, personnel and financial records. Konica Minolta has broad experience in helping manufacturers address fast-changing regulations and manage the large amount of information that goes into compliance reports, engineering studies, materials testing, audits, contracts, tax statements and other essential information—freeing you to concentrate on serving your customers and growing your business.For total security, manufacturers trust Konica Minolta. Konica Minolta is a leader in state-of-the-art document solutions and managed IT services to ensure compliance, enhance security and control the administrative costs of meeting new standards. Our bizhub® MFPs offer a wide range of built-in protections to meet every challenge, including the strict security requirements of government contracts. With integrated solutions for capturing, distributing and archiving content in all its forms, you’ll have the security and tracking capabilities you need to address privacy and security solutions, protect trade secrets and meet the compliance demands of OSHA, ISO, insurance audits, supplier agreements and federal, state and local regulations.

Protecting and tracking your manufacturing data. Konica Minolta bizhub MFPs are designed to create a log of all user activities, including scanning documents, making prints and copies, sending faxes, even distributing documents via scan-to email. Your digitized information can be automatically deposited in a secure database accessible only by authorized users. As a manufacturer, you must keep track of mission-critical communications with engineers, vendors, shipping companies, clients and more—and you’ll know who, what, when and where all document activity took place, with advanced forensic tools to search out specific events. Konica Minolta gives you the tools and capabilities to meet any compliance needs:

• Safety and environmental protection regulations• Internal and external audits • Labor standards and practices requirements• Sales tax and payroll tax documentation• Patriot Act security demands• State and local privacy laws

SECURITY SAFEGUARDSTO IMPROVE COMPLIANCE & PROTECT TRADE SECRETS

Certification of every bizhub MFP as a total system. Konica Minolta bizhub MFPs are designed to meet ISO 15408 certification at EAL 3—the highest security level given to Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) products. Every bizhub device is evaluated and certified as a total system, tested for stand-alone performance and also against possible threats from outside network connections, phone/fax lines. Our products include over 300 security-based checkpoints in their evaluation profile.

Simple user ID and password authentication. In busy retail banks, branch locations and securities offices, user authentication is essential for MFPs with print, copy, scan and fax capabilities. Konica Minolta bizhub devices provide a wide array of authentication options that are easy to manage and control. You can allow some functions and restrict others—for example, accessing User Boxes but preventing scanning or copying. The Authentication Manager of our PageScope® Enterprise Suite software can also be used to limit access.

Secure access via standard ID card systems. With options, your bizhub device can provide simple, user-friendly authentication and ID-and-print operation using standard proximity card systems—the same cards you use today for building and door access. We also offer financial providers a comprehensive array of standard safeguards as well as advanced secure authentication options such as Biometric Authentication, input for HID Proximity Cards, HID iClass® Cards, Magnetic Stripe Cards and others.

Wide-ranging protections for manufacturing data. Our optional Copy Guard system can require password access to make copies of protected documents. You can also encrypt PDF files using a password and can add digital signatures to financial documents in PDF format to prevent tampering after they are scanned to memory. Adding secure release and pull printing options prevent documents from sitting in output trays where they can be seen by anyone.

The lock-down protection of bizhub SECURE. Security begins with bizhub SECURE—a unique group of high-level security protections that can be activated by your Konica Minolta representative. Our bizhub SECURE feature includes benefits for every manufacturer:

Job Overwrite: your bizhub can automatically delete temporary data that might remain on your hard disk drive after print jobs are completed, with various deletion methods to meet even strict military standards—and automatically overwrite data when a copy, print, scan or fax job is completed or deleted from a bizhub User Box.

Hard Disc Drive Encryption: using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128-bit encryption algorithm, encryption data cannot be read even if the HDD is removed from your bizhub.

Hard Drive Lock: HDD data is protected using a password of 20 alphanumeric characters that is written to the BIOS of your system, so information will not be compromised even if the drive is removed and installed into a different MFP or PC.

Additional Recommendations:

HDD Sanitizing: you can use any one of eight government standard overwrite methods to overwrite all data at the time your bizhub is removed from service or reassigned to another location.

SPEEDING WORKFLOW BY HANDLING ALL YOUR NEEDS FROM A SINGLE POINT

Producing materials in-house and on-demand. The power of bizhub MFPs and bizhub PRESS production printers gives manufacturers end-to-end automation for all the printed materials you need. In-plant marketing departments can streamline print production, from concept to mail. Our certified G7 production printers allow you to match corporate colors, fine-tune product shots and deliver results to rival offset presses—all without going to outside printers, saving you time and money while maintaining “chain of custody” confidentiality to safeguard your patents and designs. And bizhub MFPs and production printers provide end-to-end reliability, including the inline finishing options designed and built by Konica Minolta for reliable performance with maximum uptime.

Manufacturing solutions begin at your bizhub. Advanced, integrated solutions that are “close to the machine” can help you increase productivity, control costs, automate business processes and enhancing the security your manufacturing operations demand. Our EnvisionIT Manufacturing initiative offers a comprehensive suite of products, solutions and services to overcome every workflow challenge. EnvisionIT Production and XMedia capabilities provide a higher return on investment in marketing, direct-mail advertising and sales promotion efforts—with significant cost and labor savings, plus versatile finishing and security options for right-size scalability. And Konica Minolta mobile printing solutions allow managers, engineers, consultants and suppliers to file reports, compliance documents and production forms for warehouse, shipping, receiving MTRs, DNEs and sign-offs from any networked location at every stage of the production cycle—a real advantage when you’re racing to market with a new product.

Konica Minolta can help you leverage the power of industry-leading document capture and document management technology to streamline processes, reduce defects and shorten the cycle time from blueprints and raw materials to product deliveries and paid invoices. We can also provide integrated printing and finishing for reports, presentations, marketing materials and more. And our bizhub MFPs interface seamlessly with the software solutions your business demands, giving you streamlined workflow and simple distribution—all without increasing your headcount.

Enterprise-scale document management solutions. Konica Minolta helps manufacturers cope with rising document challenges—capturing, managing, storing and controlling business content to speed workflow by automating processes. Open-ended architecture and our exclusive bEST (bizhub Extended Solution Technology) design enables you to integrate “islands of technology” that may have been created during the rapid growth of your operations. You’ll have seamless interface with industry-standard third party solutions—including customizable buttons and functions to simplify the operation of software commands on your bizhub control panel. We can help you classify, retain and access the information you need to meet each day’s production targets and plan for future operations.

Controlled scanning, format conversion and fax reception. Konica Minolta bizhub MFPs provide comprehensive document capture and distribution solutions to handle manufacturing paperwork in all its forms—hard copies, faxes, emails, instant messages, images, blueprints and more. Optional fax capabilities allow you to replace stand-alone fax machines that waste energy and offer limited security functions. You can create centralized document repositories to share information more quickly —engineering plans, production estimates, delivery and output records, timesheets, compliance reports and more, all accessible by authorized personnel via secure network or online access.

Powerful touchscreen control—as easy as a familiar tablet. The large 9" color touchscreen of our latest bizhub color and B&W MFPs makes operation easier than ever for managers and administrators as well as part-time or temporary personnel. You can drag, drop, pinch in and pinch out, rotate images and more. A quick flick of your finger across the screen brings up the menu you want. Transparent menus, customizable icons and soft keyboards are augmented by electrostatic keys and sound settings for a “hands-on” touch and feel. You’ll even have on-screen thumbnail preview to check files before you print—a sure way to reduce errors that waste paper and slow down your output.

Fast printing and copying to serve any document need. Output speeds for bizhub MFPs range from 20 to 75 ppm—even higher for bizhub PRESS and bizhub PRO production printers. Compact, networkable bizhub desktop printers are perfect for replacing underutilized desktop printers that have higher per-page and energy costs. Built-in fax capabilities allow you to eliminate stand-alone fax machines that can compromise your security. Our industry-leading KIP wide-format printers give product planning, engineering and production groups the ability to design, distribute, collaborate and finalize plans more quickly to shorten development cycle times and keep ahead of backup orders.

And software programs like Konica Minolta’s Dispatcher Phoenix Pro can automate formatting, OCR conversion, annotation, redaction and other document management processes to save time-consuming manual labor.

Cost-effective electronic forms that don’t require storage space. With fast output, onboard document storage and optional variable-data capabilities, Konica Minolta bizhub MFP’s enable manufacturers to replace hard-copy paper forms with optional e-forms applications that offer auto-fill and auto-routing with instantaneous electronic retrieval for superior workflow. Konica Minolta bizhub devices are designed to be simple to use and can easily transform your forms into electronic documents that don’t require storage space—and can be easily updated and reprinted without wasting time or paper.

Optimizing your printing to reduce your costs. Konica Minolta’s Optimized Print Services (OPS) program is a new approach to managed print services. Using advanced metrics to monitor your usage, measure your output and analyze your document workflow and manage your devices more effectively, our OPS program puts you in full control of your manufacturing print/scan environment. Automated proactive service and supplies help keep your MFPs and networked printers working at peak performance with maximum uptime. We can even assist you on modifying behavior to reduce unnecessary duplication.

Konica Minolta’s exclusive Simitri® HD toner formulation uses smaller and more consistent particles, giving B&W reproductions greater detail and sharper, more legible text at 1200 dpi print resolution.
