How many iPads do I need and where should I install them?

Number of iPads for shop floor data collection

Written by Tobias Dorner

The number of iPads you need depends on the size and complexity of your print shop.

Since several employees can share an iPad using their individual access codes, it may be enough at first to install a shared iPad at related workstations.

For example, employees in prepress, printing, finishing, logistics and the warehouse can share an iPad. However, you should provide a dedicated iPad for employees who handle many different jobs simultaneously or in quick succession, to avoid unnecessary delays caused by switching iPads and waiting for other employees.

Our recommendation is clear: Every employee should have access to their own iPad.

In prepress, you may consider completing certain production tasks – such as the data check – manually, directly on the web.
