Manufacturing

Print Built for the Shop Floor and the Back Office.

A manufacturer prints in two very different places. On the plant floor, devices live with dust, vibration, and multi-shift use and have to keep producing work orders, travelers, and labels. In the back office, the same company runs engineering drawings, quality records, and marketing collateral. DEX Imaging equips both, with hardened devices where the work is dirty and the full back-office stack where the work is clean.

The compliance stack

Manufacturing documentation is governed by quality systems and, for defense-adjacent work, by export controls.

ISO 9001

ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems — Controlled, traceable quality documentation — Document control workflow with versioning, access controls, and audit trails

ITAR

International Traffic in Arms Regulations — Handling of defense-related technical data — Access-controlled output and handling for export-controlled documents (defense-adjacent) — DEX programs are built to support these standards where they apply.

Plant floor vs office

Plant floor

Rugged, high-duty MFPs and printers positioned for work orders, travelers, routing sheets, and labels, built to keep up with multiple shifts in a demanding environment.

Back office

Standard MFPs, secure print, and document workflow for purchasing, HR, quality, and finance. Wide format for engineering Manufacturers run engineering drawings, schematics, and large-format documentation.

Manufacturing

DEX provides wide-format plotters and the workflow to manage revisions, so the drawing on the floor is the current one and the obsolete revision is not. Document control for quality ISO 9001 lives or dies on document control. DEX implements workflow that versions, access-controls, and audit-trails quality documents, work instructions, and records, so an audit finds a controlled system instead of a binder nobody trusts. Production print for marketing operations Manufacturers with in-house marketing run catalogs, spec sheets, and sales collateral. DEX equips production print so that work stays in-house at production quality instead of going out to a print shop. One partner for documents and the network Plant networks are operational technology environments with real security stakes. DEX IT provides managed IT, cybersecurity, backup, and disaster recovery alongside the print fleet, so documents and infrastructure are handled by one accountable partner. DEX serves manufacturers across its 68+ metros, including regions with heavy manufacturing concentration, backed by local factory-certified DEXperts and the four-hour emergency response of The DEX Declaration.
