Automation in the Prepress Department
The flexographic industry is evolving, and across the industry, AV Flexologic has identified key trends and challenges:
- Customers demanding improved quality
- Tighter lead times on print jobs
- Shorter, more frequent print jobs
- Aging/retiring prepress staff
- Inconsistency across shifts
- Difficulty locating individuals with high skill levels
- Safety and repetitive motion injuries play a more important factor
- Wasted time on press that can easily be eliminated upstream

He’ll examine how different levels of automation can help optimize your workflow. Learn the benefits of automation—from the plate mounting department, to the flexographic tape application arena and through to full prepress robotization. All are relevant to your business!
