The Smart Printing Client (SPC) is an intelligent software for remote printing from SAP that runs on an IoT-enabled printer. The modern platform of the printer is used. This provides SPC with your resources, such as computing power, memory, display and operating keys as well as interfaces (Ethernet, USB, etc.). By means of a simple registration process, the printer is made known under SAP and establishes a secure connection. Because SPC is installed on the printer and also communicates with SAP, you can retrieve the labels directly and remotely from your SAP system.
That means: The printer becomes a SAP remote control. Furthermore, an additional computer terminal is no longer necessary for printing labels from SAP. You can make entries via the keyboard or a barcode scanner, for example. Because of the encrypted communication via the Internet, the printer works regardless of location, as long as an Internet connection is available. This offers you a wide range of applications for remote printing from SAP. No matter whether you use it to connect an external warehouse or integrate your external partners like an extended workbench – the new technology of the IoT (Internet of Things) makes this possible quickly and easily.
