Smart DFE
A Smart Print Factory Requires a Smart DFE
SmartDFE™ for labels and packaging applications meets the need for fully variable data, gives complete control of the print workflow, and provides valuable information for QA and inspection, press maintenance, and stock control. Co-developed by Global Graphics Software, HYBRID Software, Meteor Inkjet, and Xitron, SmartDFE™ transforms the role of the digital press in the smart print factory of the future.
SmartDFE™ is designed to be part of a fully automated manufacturing solution supporting Industry 4.0 telematics and MIS integration, plus connectivity with automated manufacturing lines via OPC UA. This powerful solution combines the creation and editing of optimized print-ready PDF files, layout, and automated Variable Data Printing (VDP) with HYBRID Stepz and CLOUDFLOW, job cost estimation, and production controls. Harlequin® Direct drives print data to the printheads at blistering speeds through Xitron’s Navigator DFE platform, or Meteor software and electronics.
