Datacard's Syntera Reduces High-Volume Card Issuance Costs
Datacard introduced a revolutionary manufacturing efficiency system that is designed to dramatically increase productivity and efficiency in high-volume card operations. The new Datacard Syntera Manufacturing Efficiency System helps card issuers cut costs by providing a single point of control and intelligently orchestrating all the systems that comprise a card operation.
Syntera gives card issuers the opportunity to make significant per card cost savings and provides important new management controls. Single site operations can be managed automatically, making every step of the card issuance process measurably more efficient. Operational aspects such as data input, scheduling, workflow management and auditing are all made easier and faster with Syntera," said Martin Kearsley, Senior VP and GM of Datacard's solutions group. "This allows customers to manage their operations across their enterprise," he added.
"For example, Syntera monitors the availability and capabilities of card issuance systems throughout an enterprise. It uses this information to make intelligent scheduling and load balancing decisions," Martin said. "Card issuers can instantly identify optimal schedules to achieve maximum speed and productivity in their operations."
The Syntera system features a flexible, modular design and device independence. Users can choose specific capabilities to manage their current card issuance systems, then expand the system as their operations grow. Initial modules include personalization management, workflow and tracking and intelligent optimization.
"Syntera addresses the most pressing issues of today's card issuance environment - from 'short-run' demands, right through to 'long dwell time' smart card personalization," Martin said.
"For many years, Datacard has set the benchmark for high quality card issuance," Martin added. "We believe the Syntera system builds on this heritage and will set new standards for card production management for many years to come."
