Automating manual routine tasks, using materials efficiently – automation and digitization are becoming increasingly important topics for printing companies. As an automation expert, OneVision Software supports print service providers worldwide on their way to connected and automated production processes. With the new version 23.2, OneVision expands the functionality of its modular automation software, providing printers with even more features for automated production.
Regensburg. Many printing companies are currently concerned how their business can be securely and stably positioned for the future. Various industry analyses based on surveys show how the challenging economic situation, fierce competition and increasing staff shortages are leading to uncertainty.
The implementation of automation software has proven to be a real game changer for many companies. Print service providers benefit from such solutions in many ways: Saving on substrates, optimizing throughput times but also relieving staff. "We have 50% more jobs in-house than before, but still with the same staff," reports Sergio Nobile, CEO of Swiss company Edubook AG.
The printing company has been working with OneVision automation software for many years. Thanks to the modular structure and flexibility of the system, the solution can be tailored to the needs of the individual print business. In addition to increasing efficiency, OneVision's software solutions also offer a high level of data security and reliability, independent of third-party systems. Furthermore, the automation solution can be connected to any software and hardware components, enabling seamless end-to-end production.
With the release of the latest software version, new connectors have been added: the integration to ColorGATE Productionserver and to Horizon StitchLiner. The new version 23.2 also offers optimizations in print sheet preparation and improvements in variable data printing. The workflow editor has been enhanced with a new module overview for optimized handling. This simplifies the handling of complex workflows in particular. The additional display of throughput times per job also ensures greater transparency.
OneVision has also introduced new functionalities for the image processing software Amendo AI. The software now also processes and optimizes images in PDF files and thus ensures uniform and homogeneous image quality. The Smart Crop function has been improved and can now also crop images independently of the AI-based object recognition.
