The document summarizes a presentation given at the 25th Annual Thermal Printing Conference about the future of the thermal printing market. It discusses key trends like the Internet of Things, near field communication, and new opportunities and threats in direct thermal, thermal transfer, and dye diffusion thermal printing. The presentation outlines the market size and drivers, recent consolidation, and predicts increased competition, new applications in niche markets like security printing, and continued industry changes shaped by emerging technologies.
2015 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the global manufacturing industry. Manufacturing plants are not longer dirty, dark and dangerous places to work; they house some of the world’s most sophisticated equipment, are managed using complex data and software, and run on powerful technology systems. As the concept of a ‘smart factory’ becomes more of a reality, we take a look at the manufacturing trends shaping the industry in 2015.

This lecture describes the Platform model or Two-sided Markets. Platforms serve multiple customer groups and benefit from network effects that take place with and between those groups. Businesses based on Platforms are able to adopt innovative pricing structures in which one side subsidizes another. When the marginal costs are near zero it can be practical to drop the subsidized price all the way to zero.

A cooled infrared sensor is a type of thermal imaging camera with a detector that is kept below room temperature by a cryogenic cooler. The main benefit of cooled detectors over uncooled detectors is that they are more sensitive, which means that images are clearer from farther away or when there is less light. Cooled detectors are less likely to pick up noise and can be made much smaller than detectors that don't have to be cooled. Several industries, such as aerospace and defense, mining, oil and gas, and consumer electronics, use cooled infrared sensors more and more.
Zero Distance - Transform or Die! by Thomas SpreitzerChristoph Schulz
Utilize the chance of digitalization to get closer to the customer. Admittedly, the title sounds quite brutal. But when newspapers write on digital Darwinism and take a look at how many traditional companies have gone into insolvency in the past five years, and how many startups have generated billions in revenue in the same amount of short time, then the question can be asked, who is the comet and who is the dinosaur. The presentation has been held by Thomas Spreitzer, CMO T-Systems, at AutomotiveIT Congress in Hanover, Germany.

functions
• Personalization of the
user experience
Monitoring and control
capabilities enable
algorithms that optimize
product operations and
use in order to:
• Enhance product
performance
• Allow predictive
diagnostics, service
and repair
Combining monitoring,
control and optimization
allows:
• Autonomous product
operation
• Self-coordination of
operations with other
products and systems
• Autonomous product
enhancement and
personalization

19. Implication for Printer OEMs
• Need to rethink their business models, identifying new opportunities
for creating and capturing value.
• Examples:
• GE invested in its “industrial internet” linking tasks and equipment creating
more than $1.5 billion incremental revenue
• Google Nest thermostat creates value by digitizing the entire home‐temperature‐
control process.
• Sonos wireless music systems place the user interface in the cloud enabling
users to control the portable speakers from a smartphone.
• Philips Lighting users can control lighting hue light bulbs via smartphones.
• Tesla vehicles in need of repairs can autonomously call for corrective software
download or send notification to the customer for valet to pick up the car.

20. Near Field Communication (NFC)
• NFC is an offshoot of RFID designed
for devices within close proximity less
than 8.0” (0.2 m)
• Initially standard was established in
2004 by mobile phone makers.
• First NFC phone introduced in 2006 by
Nokia
• Two communications modes active
and passive
GMR Management Consulting ‐ 20

22. NFC Changes the Credit Card System
• Status quo – The magnetic stripe cards
virtually unchanged since 1970s in USA
• “Chip‐and‐PIN” EMV smart cards introduced
in Europe in 2004 reduced fraud by 80%
• Massive security breach and credit card
fraud resulted in the US banks moving to
EMV payment system by October 2015.
• EMV has better security, but 100% secure
• Most new retail card terminals will have NFC
option built in – enters Apple Pay

23. NFC Changes the Credit Card System
• Smart Card Fraud
GMR Management Consulting ‐ 23
www.gmrmanagementconsulting.com
24. NFC Changes the Credit Card System
• Apple Pay using NFC is secure and fraud
resistant
• Needs fingerprint on iPhone to make a
purchase
• Apple most likely will introduce the
“AppleCard” to compete with Visa, MC,
Discover and AMEX with 2% discount on
every purchase
• Merchants will promote ApplePay to
customers who save money and the
iPhone may actually pay for itself
GMR Management Consulting ‐ 24
www.gmrmanagementconsulting.com
25. NFC Applications are Expanding
• Lost bags cost airlines $2.58 billion
annually
• IATA InBag program includes
permanent tags using NFC enabled
phone and app allowing the
traveler program the tag
• Includes LCD display has 1D
barcode and passive NFC chip with
multiple technologies
• British Air rollout planned for late
2014
Permanent Bag Tag

30. Threats ‐ Common
• Market saturation – printers
(commodity prices)
• Industry consolidation – capital
allocation
• Lack of “breakthrough”
innovation (ZINK)
• Overcapacity in DT & TT supplies
manufacturing
“Long product lifecycles, market saturation, and
high penetration rates paint a gloomy future for
AutoID hardware vendors that disregard the
need to revise their go‐to‐market strategies. “
VDC Research
GMR Management Consulting ‐ 30

31. Opportunities ‐ DT
• Direct Thermal
• Mobile applications
• Linerless media
• Multi‐color
• Value added alternative to
competing technologies
GMR Management Consulting ‐ 31
www.gmrmanagementconsulting.com
35. What’s Next?
• Increased price competition among existing players and new entries
to gain market share
• IoT will give a short term boost to the barcode printer market
• NFC will be a disruptive technology to POS receipt printing market
• New profit pools will be in niche application, such as security printing,
printed electronics, harsh environment applications
• Competitive technologies mainly inkjet and laser will advance their
penetration industrial applications requiring color
• Industry consolidation & divestitures will continue
