EskoArtwork Presents End-to-End JDF Workflow Solution at drupa

For the converting processes, BOBST S.A. has also integrated its folder/gluers into this workflow via the HIGHWAY interface program. With bidirectional data flow, HIGHWAY can receive the list of jobs to be produced from SAP. The production and productivity data is then sent to SAP for optimum production monitoring, report generation and offer optimization. HIGHWAY’s very user-friendly interface is the same for all machine types and triggers automatic adjustment of the machine for every job data entry. The extra option of entering values manually can considerably reduce machine make-ready times. Requiring no operator intervention, the ALPINA folding box gluing machine comes equipped with automatic adjustment based on the JDF data.
