EFI’s Automated Workflow Experience explained in a 3D animation — very nice, great video, lovable job ticket character… A difficult subject explained well.
The system itself is also very nice, BTW. EFI’s automated inkjet workflow solutions help with integrating job submission and production management processes with their VUTEk GS Series printer and Fiery XF RIP. The integrated workflow optimizes and streamlines print production processes and should achieve sustainable cost and process improvements on every job.
It is a complete, end-to-end workflow, from online job submission to print shop management and production. Pace, EFI’s browser-based print MIS solution is known to have specifically engineered to better serve the needs of large format printers.
“When I joined Category 5 (a Canadian full service large format printer),” General Manager Greg Priede says, “it was all guesswork as to whether we were making money with these printers. Everything was done on Excel spreadsheets and accounting software. Customer service would input job data into Excel; the system required that the data be entered twice. Data was again entered by scheduling and shipping, requiring that much of the same data be entered four times, and allowing plenty of room for human error, as well as the inherent inefficiency of such a system. When changes were made to the job, it was almost like a scavenger hunt tracking down the job history as recorded in different locations by different employees.”
The video (a series, actually).
