“In 2013, OMNI was ranked #135, today we have grown to #53 because of price, quality, and service.”

     As adverse weather events continue to intensify globally, supply chain disruptions and allocations are the subsequent aftermath. The swelling environmental dilemmas - transit delays due to severe weather, extreme temperature changes (freezing in southern parts of the US causing plants to temporarily halt all operations), and the frequently escalating threat of hurricanes, wild fires, and flooding – leaves everyone wondering if their suppliers are prepared to seamlessly offer support in the wake of an emergency.

We're excited to announce that OMNI Systems has received a 2018 “Cleveland Technology Award” by Smart Business Magazine for the second consecutive year. We're one of several companies that will receive the award at this year’s Cleveland Tech Awards Luncheon on March 22, 2018. According to Smart Business, the Cleveland Technology Awards aim to recognize dynamic Northeast Ohio organizations that embrace the new horizon created by changing technologies. Honorees are recognized in one of three categories: established developers or tech firms, startup tech firms and implementers/users.

With technology growing leaps and bounds in today’s age, manufacturing becomes more and more dependent on such technology for everyday tasks. As outlined in IndustryWeek, increased connectivity and the use of big data are driving waves of manufacturing innovation. Printing and converting are no strangers to this trend. But as manufacturing becomes more dependent on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), it also becomes more vulnerable. Old risks such as natural disasters and machinery breakages are now supplemented with new risks from hacking and grid downtime. As we saw just last week, one typo in a service provider like Amazon’s AWS can bring down hundreds of connected services.

Innovation: a frequently used buzzword. But, when applied as part of a consistent growth plan, can greatly impact how a thermal label converter does business. For a converter, innovation means keeping abreast of industry changes, like the shift we saw in 2016 towards more efficient presses and hybrid solutions. Additionally, innovation requires constant review and improvement of internal processes to remove redundancies and time demands.

Selecting a thermal label supplier for your business can be a daunting task. For many companies, the right label converter can mean millions of dollars of annual savings and supply chain efficiencies. When evaluating a new supplier, it is important to ask the following questions:

Is it even possible to save millions of dollars on thermal labels?
