The modular software platform for automated marking processes

Integra IQ

Integra IQ is the Bluhm Weber Group’s software platform for automating, networking, and monitoring labeling processes in production and logistics—scalable, modular, and practical. It serves as the central foundation for controlling labeling across systems and providing a transparent view of processes.

The platform connects labeling and printing systems, machines, and lines with higher-level IT and ERP systems to consolidate data from various sources and leverage it specifically to improve operational efficiency.

Automation of labeling processes

Integra IQ was developed to automate, standardize, and securely manage your labeling processes. In addition, processes can be clearly visualized and flexibly adapted as needed. In this way, our software helps you standardize workflows and reduce manual tasks to a minimum.

Typical automation functions implemented with Integra IQ:

  • Automatic selection of layouts and print data
  • Automated data feed from ERP systems
  • Centralized control of multiple printing and labeling systems

The result is more stable workflows, reduced labor costs, and significantly improved process reliability.

Integra IQ as a future-proof IoT platform

Integra IQ is designed as an Industrial IoT-enabled software platform and serves as the technical foundation for Industry 4.0 concepts in the field of labeling. It enables the structured and centralized mapping of processes, the interconnection of systems, and the reliable integration of labeling into existing processes.

Through standardized interfaces and protocols, Integra IQ enables:

  • Connect machines and marking systems
  • Capture and process real-time data
  • Communicate securely between the production line, control room, and IT systems
  • Integrate transparent feedback from production and logistics

For manufacturer-independent and secure data exchange between interfaces, it supports common industry standards such as OPC UA, PackML, and the Weihenstephan standards.

Integra IQ ensures that data, systems, and processes work together seamlessly, allowing you to efficiently manage marking across system boundaries.

The 3 modules of Integra IQ

Integra IQ consists of three modules designed to implement labeling processes in a step-by-step manner tailored to specific needs. Rather than a rigid, all-in-one solution, it offers a flexible and scalable software architecture that adapts to existing systems and individual requirements. Companies can start with a single module and expand the platform as their needs grow:
