Aurora® One platform. Open integration.

Aurora® brings printer control, production data, printers from other manufacturers and factory automation together in one scalable software platform.

Developed in Sweden

Aurora is developed in Sweden by the team behind GSI Nordic, and the know-how about the software is right here with us. That means we can make adaptations for your specific production and drive product improvements ourselves. If you need a new feature, a new data format or a connection to a system you already have, you take it up directly with us.

The software is developed for intuitive control, flexible workflows and seamless communication between GSI’s printing systems.

Built into Aurora

• Intuitive printer control: control the printers from a touchscreen, PC, tablet or mobile.
• Easy message management with a built-in layout editor.
• Production data integration that reads, validates, parses and formats data.
• Third-party device integration: printers and equipment from other manufacturers.
• Factory automation: line equipment and inspection systems, with direct communication with PLCs via Modbus and other protocols.
• Built-in diagnostics for troubleshooting and logging.

Four parts

Printer software. Create and edit messages, calculate ink consumption and cost, diagnostics and logging, plus fast support for new GSI printing technologies.

Data integration. JSON and application plug-ins, with support for BarTender, NiceLabel, ZPL, CSV, Excel and more.

Printers from other manufacturers. CIJ, label printers with applicator and TIJ, with shared functions for operation.

Automation. Direct communication with PLCs via Modbus and other protocols. Barcode readers, vision systems and cameras, checkweighers and scales, conveyors, sensors and motors.

Keep what works. Connect what comes next.

Aurora is designed to fit into your existing production environment, bringing together compatible printers, production data, automation and inspection equipment without you having to replace systems that already work.

• Make the most of existing investments
• Reduce integration complexity
• Improve line performance
• Increase uptime
• Scale as your needs grow

GSI’s printers are network-based and developed from the ground up for easy integration into industrial IT and automation environments. The systems can communicate with virtually any type of higher-level system, whether modern ERP systems, manufacturing execution systems (MES), databases or PLC controls. This minimizes the need for changes in the customer’s systems and reduces both costs and risks when upgrading or changing systems.
