In the advertising signage and packaging printing industries, the losses caused by production interruptions often far exceed the downtime itself. A large display nesting job ruined by a sudden power cut, or an expensive roll of flexible material scrapped halfway through a long cutting task due to an error; these are the situations production managers fear most. Material waste, lost labor time, and delayed deliveries quickly turn a brief interruption into a major loss.
Traditional solutions are often inadequate when facing such disruptions. Operators have to manually locate the interruption point, realign the material, or even restart the entire cutting process. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also introduces unavoidable positioning errors during re-alignment, resulting in misaligned finished pieces or complete material waste.
The IECHO SK2 intelligent cutting system integrates a Smart Power Recovery function specifically designed to completely solve this industry pain point. This intelligent data protection and recovery system deeply integrated with iBrightCut and CutterServer software, works in precise coordination with the machine hardware.
Its core mechanism and value are reflected in three key aspects:
1. Intelligent Data Capture
During single-sheet or long-format nesting jobs, whether the interruption is caused by a power outage, emergency stop, or system alert, SK2 instantly captures a snapshot of the cutting status. Tool position, completed paths, and remaining paths are all precisely recorded. Registration mark data from completed sections is saved, and progress for standard cutting tasks is fully preserved.
2. One-Click Precision Recovery
The recovery process is fast and simple.
For nested jobs, the operator selects “Show Interruption Line” in iBrightCut to see exactly where cutting stopped, then clicks “Resume Cutting.” No re-scanning, no complex repositioning.
For non-nesting cutting jobs, CutterServer allows operators to restart from the exact breakpoint using a preset recovery command, continuing the job seamlessly.
3. Protecting Material and Process Integrity
This feature’s greatest value is preventing material loss while preserving cutting accuracy. It avoids scrapping entire boards due to interruptions and eliminates cumulative alignment errors from re-positioning. Finished pieces remain perfectly matched to the original design. Even complex mixed processes; such as creasing, partial cuts, and hollow cuts; continue smoothly after recovery.
SK2 power-off resume function transforms an unexpected interruption from a costly production accident into a short, controlled, and loss-free pause. It increases effective machine uptime, reduces total production costs, and gives manufacturers greater confidence when working with high-value materials or unstable power conditions.
This is not only a software innovation, but also it reflects IECHO commitment to delivering reliable, resilient production solutions that help customers maintain consistent quality and dependable delivery in competitive markets.
