SATO Europe and 42Gears Team Up to Centralise Printer Management

SATO Europe has partnered with enterprise mobility provider, 42Gears, to help customers manage their printer infrastructure with greater control, visibility, and ease. The collaboration enables a range of SATO printers to connect directly with the 42Gears SureMDM platform—a cloud-based device management solution already trusted across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and retail sectors.

Supply chains today are driven by real-time data and mobility, and organisations deploy a wide variety of IT equipment, including mobile computers, barcode and RFID scanners and readers, tablets, and label printers. Printers are often the last piece of hardware to benefit from centralised management. On-site troubleshooting, inconsistent configurations, and blind spots in performance data all contribute to lost time and higher support costs.

By integrating SATO printers—including the CL4NX Plus, CL6NX Plus, PW2NX, PW4NX, S84NX, S86NX, LR4NX, FX3-LX and CT4-LX—into SureMDM, customers can now remotely manage a fuller range of IT equipment via a central dashboard.

“Having full visibility of your print infrastructure means faster response times, fewer disruptions, and better use of internal resources,” said Eckhard Wernich, Head of Product Management Solutions at SATO Europe. “This collaboration provides that visibility.”

At a glance, the integration enables:

• Printer deployment with remote configuration
• Real-time monitoring of supplies to replenish before running out
• Remote updates, resets, and configuration changes
• Automated diagnostics and alerts to prevent downtime
• A consistent, secure environment for all connected devices

For organisations managing large device fleets, this collaboration delivers a more efficient way to keep printers online, compliant and performing as expected—without the need for on-site intervention.
