The myKyana portal, K&B’s digital platform designed to streamline and improve all aspects of the production process, now enables seamless integration of third-party machinery. Two components of the myKyana portal are Kyana Assist, an AI-powered chatbot, soon to include AI-powered data analytics, which offers instant technical help, providing detailed, machine-specific guidance; and Kyana Data, a performance dashboard tool that offers real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance and an “intelligent” benchmarking tool.
With the integration of Tessitura’s Odeon platform, Odeon Worker and Odeon Connect Box, into the mKyana portal, K&B can go beyond stand-alone solutions, contributing to a more connected, efficient and future-proof production environment for all customers. The platform is designed to connect all printing and finishing machines within a company, regardless of equipment manufacturer, whether modern or classic, and across single or multiple sites.
As a result of the collaboration, K&B has outlined the key benefits for customers: increased transparency, bringing all production data into a centralized platform, allowing users to gain a complete view of their operations; cost savings, as the ability to integrate and automate processes across different machines reduces redundancy and reduces manual interventions; and flexibility, as users can continue to leverage their existing equipment while preparing for future developments: myKyana’s open architecture ensures that new technologies can be easily incorporated, protecting investments in the long term.
