BOBST’s advanced system for flexographic printing that sets registration and impression offline during plate mounting, eliminating waste at press start-up and reducing changeover time. By preparing all settings before production begins, smartGPS ensures consistent print quality, faster job transitions, and a leaner, more sustainable workflow.
Operational efficiency, waste reduction, skill shortage, flexibility for short runs
Long setup times, high material waste, and dependency on skilled operators can be major hurdles for printers while keeping up with rising sustainability demands, and the need for consistent print quality.
The need for automation in flexo production is high. With smartGPS, converters can set registration and impression from a single point, reducing setup time and eliminating human error. Automated peripherals minimize manpower requirements and guarantee repeatability, ensuring consistent quality across every job. By increasing productivity per square meter and cutting fixed costs, smartGPS helps plants run leaner and more efficiently - your operation becomes more attractive to employees, customers, and brand owners: delivering speed, sustainability, and precision in one solution.
