For manufacturers of large-scale agricultural machinery, documentation doesn’t come in slim volumes. Instruction manuals often stretch to hundreds of pages - sometimes even a thousand - and need to be printed, bound, and delivered alongside each machine. Historically, this task consumed entire print lines and staff time for days at a stretch.
The Challenge: Manual Printing That Stalls Operations
Using D3 as the core ERP, staff would first generate lists, download PDFs, and manually feed them into the printer. Because manuals could run into the thousands of pages, the printer was effectively locked down for days, blocking other urgent jobs. The result was an unavoidable production bottleneck, late deliveries, and frustrated employees.
The Lasernet Approach: Overnight, Fully Automated
Lasernet transforms this time-intensive, manual process into a background task that runs on autopilot. New jobs are triggered by a single email: Lasernet retrieves the files, rebuilds and splits the XML, fetches the corresponding PDFs from D3, and queues them automatically. Pages are combined in the right order, prepared for binding, and sent to the printer using the correct profile.
By offloading the work to run overnight, Lasernet frees up both staff and printers during the day — no more stalled production lines.
Why It Matters
This change isn’t just about speed, it’s about productivity. With Lasernet, organisations gain:- Uninterrupted printing capacity: the line is free for other work during business hours.
- Employee time saved: no manual downloading, combining, or job queuing.
- Error-free manuals: every instruction book is complete and consistently formatted.
Documentation Without the Bottleneck
In industries where machinery is complex and instructions are non-negotiable, getting manuals printed on time is mission critical. Lasernet ensures that what was once a multi-day disruption is now a simple, overnight task — proof that automation can keep documentation in step with production.
