BOBST's advanced system for flexographic printing 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, and flexibility for short runs
Long setup times, high material waste, and dependency on skilled operators are major hurdles for printers—all while keeping up with rising sustainability demands and the need for consistent print quality.
Automation in flexo production is no longer optional. 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 and cutting fixed costs, smartGPS helps plants run leaner and more efficiently—making your operation more attractive to employees, customers, and brand owners, and delivering speed, sustainability, and precision in one solution.
