Markem-Imaje, part of Dover and a global provider of end-to-end supply chain solutions and industrial marking and coding systems, has expanded its CoLOS software suite with new features designed for industrial organisations with multiple production facilities.

CoLOS Version 7 builds on the strengths of earlier releases with enhanced automation and compliance, reinforced security layers, and more intuitive operations that increase efficiency and reduce errors.

Version 7 also introduces industry-certified advanced security features, centralised management for multi-site packaging operations, improved ability to minimise downtime, and a next generation responsive web user interface.

A key highlight of the release is the new CoLOS multi-site feature, which enables customers to centralise design, control and automate approval workflows for messages and labels in production, and optimise resources across global sites.

The feature helps ensure consistency, compliance, and security with a single source of truth for all messages and label designs. It also allows comprehensive visibility into production efficiency and supports flexible scaling as operations expand.

Product quality and security are priorities at Markem-Imaje, and Version 7 is certified to the IEC 62443-4-2 cybersecurity standard for product components, enabling organisations to move production software systems to central IT infrastructure with added confidence.

CoLOS Version 7 is available for use with the complete range of Markem-Imaje printers in both on-premises and cloud-based subscription models, and follows global standards for marking and coding including 1D/2D barcodes and compliant with newest GS1 Digital Link.
