BOBST announces the launch of BOBST Connect in the Southeast Asia-Pacific market, shaping the future of the packaging world.

Back in 2020, BOBST revealed its industry vision based on four key pillars – connectivity, digitalization, automation and sustainability. At the heart of this vision is BOBST Connect, an open architecture cloud-based platform delivering solutions for pre-press, production, process optimization, maintenance and market access. It ensures an efficient dataflow between digital and physical worlds and orchestrates the entire production process from the client’s PDF to the finished product.

A key feature of Bobst Connect is that it is constantly evolving, so it serves customers both now and into the future. BOBST Connect has become increasingly mature through continuous development in Europe and the United States, and many customers have widely adopted the solution and achieved remarkable results. This year, on the basis of equipment monitoring and performance management, BOBST has launched a variety of new products and technologies. The Tool Management solution offers unprecedented control over TooLink equipped dies, integrating tool makers, tracking tool performance, feedback, maintenance, and orders. With an intuitive interface, it provides users with a multitude of data driven insights to bring tool management to the next level. The Recipe Management for ACCUCHECK allows users to remotely prepare and set up an inspection recipe based on the artwork file, and to save recipes and retrieve parameters, anytime, anywhere, offering the beginning of the close loop solution.

In the future, BOBST will continue to introduce more new technologies and products such as sustainability monitoring, maintenance monitoring and quality control. “BOBST Connect has the potential to make a significant impact in Southeast Asia Pacific's packaging and printing industry,” said Cyril Ruiz Moise, General Manager at BOBST and APAC Regional Business Director. “BOBST Connect puts the management of machine performance at the fingertips of our customers, wherever they are. It brings unparalleled visibility of equipment with comprehensive production insights, helping our customers to identify and eliminate performance gaps. In addition, it provides access to the BOBST ecosystem of digital services to help optimize packaging production”.

With its data-driven approach, it enhances productivity and enables businesses to make informed decisions, optimizing every step of the production process. Providing end-to-end process support, the platform streamlines operations from design to finishing, ensuring a seamless workflow.
