Reach (until May 2018 Trinity Mirror plc), the U.K.’s
biggest newspaper publisher, has opted for a complete retrofit of all PCs
involved with the EAE systems on its WIFAG web press at its Oldham facility.
The Oldham facility outputs the highest page
volume among the company’s numerous sites. Reach publishes 240 local and
regional newspapers, including the national Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, Daily
Express, Sunday Express and Daily Star as well as other newspapers and
magazines.
The order for EAE involves replacing the
existing PCs in the EAE system environment with eight new control console PCs,
twelve section control PCs, six PCs for the EAE Info reporting and logging
system, two EAE Info Remote Workstations and one EAE Service PC. Four
replacement units of the various PC models round off the hardware package. On
the software side, the printer will be supplied with an update to the latest
version of the EAE Info System plus the newest versions of both the operating
systems, namely RMOS (an OS for industrial environments) and Windows.
The retrofit work in Oldham
is due to be carried out by EAE, a supplier of controls, automation solutions
and software for newspaper printers, at the end of September. To ensure
efficient implementation, the new computer systems will be configured at the
EAE headquarters in Ahrensburg ,
Germany . Both
the operating systems and the EAE application software will be installed and
tested there prior to departing for Oldham .
