Esko invitesFESPAattendees to ‘Take Off with Esko’ for Improved Productivity
Unique Kongsberg Flip-Side Camera boosts productivity by shortening set-up times and reducing potential for costly errors
Ghent (Belgium), May 08, 2018 –At FESPA 2018, visitors to Esko ( Stands 3.2-C48 and 5.2-D30 during the 15 to 18 May event in Berlin, will be invited to “Take the Fastlane” for their businesses by collecting their suitcases on the Esko stand to begin an exciting journey to improved productivity. In addition to Automation Engine QuickStart for Signand WebCenter QuickStart for Corrugated converters, the company will be introducing a brand-new Flip-Side Camera for Kongsberg cutting tables equipped with a Feeder and Stacker. This truly unique solution saves the 20 to 30 minutes of manual set-up time typically required to ensure accurate cutting of corrugated board for in-store displays as well as other applications.When using the Kongsberg Feeder and Stacker, the camera scans the underside of the sheet to locate registration marks, barcodes containing set-up instructions, and the corner of the sheet. It is then able to cut and crease accurately by calculating where the registration marks are in reference to the corner, with limited or no operator intervention.
Robust Demo Schedule
During the show, Esko will be presenting a wide range of public demonstrations and theater presentationsthat will educate visitors on how to handle design requests in minutes, to streamline signage production and to design displays faster. For a private demo on a specific Esko solution, visitors can alsobook a demo in advance by visitingthis website.
