SMARTData - Added value by multiple connectivity
SMARTData
With SMARTData, complex production processes can be viewed in their entirety. Central data management with open interfaces enables the integration of different systems, including systems and sensors from other suppliers. SMARTData thus supports comprehensive quality documentation and analysis.
Operating, controlling, analyzing, optimizing and documenting production processes is made easy with SMARTData at a central location

SMARTData Core
SMARTData Core contains all the functionality every printing or converting business needs to get the most out of its production line.
BST product integration
Many of our BST products are SMARTData ready, from our advanced vision systems to surface inspection, from register control to web guiding.
Database
All our next generation SMARTData products are built on state of the art, open source no-SQL data base technology (Mongo DB).
SMARTData API
We support not only our own products, our state of the art RESTful API is open to store every data available. Of course our customers can read the complete database via the mentioned RESTful API. Find out more at bst.help
Exports & Reports
Brand owner often need reports for their products. We support this in different formats like PDF.
SMARTData Applications
Our SMARTData applications bring your production to the next level with specialized solutions to address every need.
Preparation
With our SMARTData Preparation Advanced tools, we enable our customers to simplify their recipe and job management with the pre-press to reduce manual operator efforts and input errors.
Our simple RESTful API can get complete recipes from ERP or other prepress systems via a customized access. Also an automatic start of the inspection is possible via this interface to relieve the operator.
For an even deeper integration, we partner with many industry suppliers. ERP systems, MIS and prepress solutions – we are well connected and can provide an easy integration in existing workflows.
Review
With our completely redesigned review tool for the post-press process, we show all the relevant information: Defect history, comparison with original picture and many details for each finding.
With only one click, the operator or quality manager can judge about the defects (OK/NOK dicision).
In the clear roll map, the customer can see the whole roll on a single view. Hotspots are visible and available immediately for postprocessing.
Lake
A central data storage for all your process data from BST and other systems (iPQ etc.). Based on a modern database und equipped with RESTful API, this is the foundation for many other applications like Track & Trace and Converting Control, but also for the integration of external sensors.
Converting Control
Bring your Quality Review App to the next level and decide how to proceed with the defects: Ignore or cut out in one of the following process steps.
With our comprehensive cross-process solution, we are able to head to exact positions on the web to support all kind of follow-up processes for a perfect result.
Track & Trace
Our unique track & trace solution enables our customers to always align all collected data exactly to each other on the web and in the digital twin on the database via a small and unique code on the web (QR, DMC, number) via printer or laser.
To align all the different sensors in a machine to the same exact position on the web, we create a digital machine model for our customers to take all the unique distances into account.
External sensors
To include not only our own systems into the digital twin of the web, we implement, synchronize and store external sensors and other relevant components to their respective position on the web.
Perfect for these industries
