The i-cut Suite prepares the graphics and creates the layouts for print and finishing, guaranteeing perfect registration.
What Esko customers say:
We use Automation Engine alongside the Kongsberg XN table. We have reduced our processes by approximately 75% from pre-press to production & finishing.
Lee Callanan, CEO (chief executive officer) / General Manager, Sports Identity
By the way, most manual steps (preflighting, nesting…) can be done quicker by a workflow server. Automation frees up your staff to do value added tasks.
When files are printed, they are ready to be cut on a Kongsberg cutting table. Esko helps you with getting the cutting done efficiently and with perfect results.
In order to optimize the daily planning you want to see the backlog of waiting jobs and distribute them well.
You can distribute the workload sorted on customer, to reach a specific deadline or you can sort on material, to optimize the equipment efficiency. You receive accurate job estimation each time you edit the job list.
During production you want to stay in control; see what jobs are lined up, track them, and put a job on hold to allow a priority job...
You no longer need to disturb an operator or walk to the cutting table to see how the production is going: just place the overview on a screen in the shop floor and everyone stays in the loop.
The Device Manager brings value for any business whether you are making samples or producing short runs with one, or several, Kongsberg cutting tables.
The best way to get rid of hidden waste in your printing and cutting workflow is to automate the biggest part of it.
Automation Engine is Esko’s workflow server. It automates prepress tasks, speeding up the process, and reducing error rates and the need for operator intervention.
