‘Take Off with Esko’ at Fespa

Packaging Solutions

At Fespa, visitors to Esko stands 3.2-C48 and 5.2-D30, will be invited to ‘Take the Fastlane’ for their businesses by collecting their suitcases on the stand to begin an exciting journey to improved productivity.

In addition to Automation Engine QuickStart for Sign and WebCenter QuickStart for corrugated converters, the company will be introducing a new Flip-Side Camera for Kongsberg cutting tables equipped with a feeder and stacker. This innovative 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.

During the show, Esko will be presenting a wide range of public demonstrations and theatre presentations that will educate visitors on how to handle design requests in minutes, to streamline signage production and to design displays faster.

Geert De Proost, Esko’s director solutions Marketing, said: ‘We continue to be focused on supporting the sign and display and corrugated sectors with integrated hardware and software solutions that address business requirements. Automation Engine QuickStart for Sign and WebCenter QuickStart for corrugated converters and the new Flip Side Camera for Kongsberg cutting tables are examples of that strategy at work. Esko’s QuickStart solutions offer companies out of the box, proven and expert workflows for sign and wide format production, as well as the digital workflows required to speed up the time to market for corrugated products.’
