Less handling. Automatic RIP. Full transparency. Faster delivery.
The aeoon Smart Factory connects machine, pretreatment, Pixel RIP and the Milow production software into one coordinated system. Your team spends less time searching, sorting and checking, and more time producing.
Best for
Print-on-demand and fulfillment operations with many single orders
Print shops and brands that want to grow without adding staff
Production managers and owners who want to see what is happening on the floor
The challenge
As order volumes grow, manual steps become the limit:
Files are searched, profiles chosen and settings checked by hand at every machine
Garments are carried between pretreatment, dryer, printer and press
Results depend on who is on shift
Nobody knows where an order is until someone walks the floor
More machines alone don't solve this. Fewer handoffs do.
The aeoon approach One production system instead of many machines.
Every Smart Factory is a complete package: industrial DTG machine, pretreatment, Pixel RIP print software and the Milow production software, from one partner and with one contact for the whole system.
1. Less handling for your team
Pretreatment, printing and heat fixation in one process on Smart Factory ONE and PRO
One operator runs the whole machine
Every garment is identified by barcode or QR, no manual matching to orders
Clear instructions on every station, so new staff are productive quickly
2. Automatic RIP with Pixel RIP
With Milow, every design is ripped automatically as soon as the order arrives from the web shop or hot folder
At the machine: scan the garment and the finished print file is already there
Pixel RIP matches each garment to the right print profile, pre-installed at the machine
No searching for files, no wrong sizes, no ripping at the machine
Without Milow, Pixel RIP works standalone: the operator selects job and material at the machine and the matching profile is applied.
3. Full transparency with Milow
Live dashboard: throughput, cycle time, open orders, defects and bottlenecks
See the status of every order, station and garment in real time
Defects are reported with reason and station, the rest of the order continues
Workflows designed by your team, adapted at any time
4. Faster from order to shipping
Print files are ready before the garment reaches the machine
Parallel steps run at the same time, e.g. front and back on two printers
* ONE and PRO: finished garments from one integrated process. FLOW: printing output of the Kyo Plus; pretreatment runs separately on the PTB Line Up. Output depends on design, material, operator and production setup; based on a 40 × 20 cm print size.
Typical workflow
Order from web shop → Milow → Pixel RIP (automatic) → pretreatment → printing → heat fixation → quality check → shipping
Every step is visible in Milow. On Smart Factory ONE and PRO, pretreatment, printing and heat fixation run in one machine with one operator.
Integration & scalability
Orders from web shop or order system via API
Open machine interfaces: OPC-UA and REST
Milow runs on-premise or in your own cloud, licensed by connected stations
Start with one machine and grow to a full line without changing platforms
Already running a Kyo Plus? It is the same platform as Smart Factory FLOW. Add the PTB Line Up, Pixel RIP and Milow, and your machine is extended, not replaced.
