An economical production requires digitalized and automated processes. With two live showcases, automation expert OneVision Software shows how “Workflow Automation Your Way” is implemented in practice. Together with technology partner Canon, an automated end-to-end workflow will be presented. The benefits of automated digital finishing of different substrates will be demonstrated in partnership with Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems (PCS).

The variety of products in wide format is enormous: from POS materials to vehicle wraps, wallpaper, giant posters or even small-format print products. Printing is done on a wide range of substrates. Reliable and individually adaptable automation solutions are needed more than ever to ensure resource-saving and efficient production.

Automation becomes success when systems seamlessly interact and various processes run without interruption. Together with Canon, OneVision will showcase a holistic workflow solution for customized print products. In the live showcase, visitors can see automation from order entry in a web store, through file preparation with OneVision´s Wide Format Automation Suite, to printing and finishing. Digital printing systems such as the Canon Arizona or Colorado will be used for printing. Finishing will be realized with cutting systems from Zünd and Fotoba.

In addition, software manufacturer OneVision will be demonstrating at booth B31/hall B3.2 how print formes can be generated in a substrate-saving and sustainable way using market-leading nesting technology. A smart finishing process – highlighting the smooth integration of OneVision's automation software and hardware from Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems – can also be seen live, with a Kongsberg X22 cutting system displayed at the OneVision booth B31 (hall B3.2).

As the middleware, OneVision´s Wide Format Automation Suite can be easily integrated into existing system landscapes and provides faster production processes, e.g. by reducing extreme file sizes without quality loss. Material and cost savings as well as more dynamic processes enable long-term business growth.
