Canon is expanding its offering to channel partners with the launch of the imageFORCE C5100 and 6100 – two new lines of multifunction devices which allow partners to bring new levels of performance, quality and innovation to their customers and enhance their own service delivery thanks to cutting-edge innovations in serviceability.
Designed to help businesses digitally transform and enhance their workflows, the new devices are powered by Canon’s pioneering imageFORCE technology platform. imageFORCE leverages machine learning to not only provide customers with high-quality and high-volume print, but also to deliver a wealth of benefits including greater efficiency, advanced security, enhanced reliability and strengthened sustainability.
The new devices seamlessly integrate into today’s modern workspace and – alongside Canon’s wider portfolio of office products, business solutions and value-added services – are a strong choice for partners who wish to offer their customers a future-proofed technology to meet ever-evolving needs.
Enhancing serviceability for partners, the imageFORCE range also uses machine learning and connected smart sensors to gather data and help identify and predict potential faults remotely. This supports the work continuity of customers and helps partners to reduce their own operational costs related to service call outs. Additionally, faster unboxing and improved installation and deployment times help partners to save time and labour costs.
Stuart Miller, Director, Channel Partners, Canon UK & Ireland said: “Major technological advancements, including AI, cloud and IoT are transforming the modern workplace and the way that our channel partners and their customers do business. In response, organisations must innovate and embrace technology in order to drive new levels of productivity and growth.
Our new imageFORCE range provides the highest levels of innovation in our multifunction device range – reflecting our continued efforts to enhance the serviceability of our products and drive efficiency and profitability for our partners. These flagship A3 colour and black and white models include pioneering technology to support all office printing needs and are an ideal choice for customers wishing to streamline document workflows and boost productivity.”
Introducing the imageFORCE C5100 and 6100 series:
The expanded flagship range will enable channel partners to grow their business with an advanced print and scan solution. The new imageFORCE devices not only offer high-quality and high-volume print but enable partners to meet the needs of a diverse customer base across the office printing market.
Using cutting-edge technology, the C5100 and 6100 bring partners a number of benefits including:
- Enhanced reliability and efficiency – Through machine learning and smart connected sensors, the new imageFORCE devices minimise downtime and dramatically improve reliability and efficiency. Potential issues and part failure can be identified and predicted remotely. With advanced performance monitoring, the new range ensures high performance over its lifetime. For customers, work continuity is maximised, with minimal disruption. For partners, operational costs related to service call outs are reduced.
- Strengthened security for customers – Through Canon’s new Security Environment Estimation Technology, the new imageFORCE devices use machine learning to analyse the IT environment and recommend and apply appropriate security settings. This empowers partners to support businesses with limited IT expertise to minimise security vulnerabilities across documents, network and endpoint devices – helping to safeguard critical data, documents and users.
- Improved sustainability for customers – The imageFORCE C5100 and 6100 series has been built with sustainability in mind. It is built using 30% recycled plastics – representing a significant improvement when compared to previous models. The devices also incorporate technology to track environmental performance, helping to ensure the efficient use of paper and energy – they also consume less energy, through market leading energy efficiency improvements. In this way, partners can directly support customers in achieving their sustainability targets and initiatives.
Canon will support channel partners with training and a range of promotional assets accessible via the Canon Partner Portal.
