With the release of its latest software generation 22.2, automation specialist OneVision has expanded its modular solutions for automated workflows. The new functions and connectivity options enable print service providers to optimise the automation of their production processes.

The smoother, more error-free and more efficient the production runs, the less waste is generated and the less manual intervention is required. According to the company, the system landscapes of print service providers are usually very individually and differently structured. As XML-based middleware, the OneVision software can be connected to other software and hardware components.

In addition to numerous existing data interfaces, the new version now also enables connection to Google Drive and HTTP data sources. Integration options to additional processing systems have also been implemented. A newly developed module enables the preparation of cutting lines in already imposed sheets for the Duplo DocuCutter DC-618 and DC-648. Also, marks and barcodes can be applied to the sheets as additional information. Duplo’s multi-finishers can thus be configured automatically.

Another new feature is a connection to OptiScout. This functionality prepares the print files for transfer to the OptiScout system and allows integration with countless digital cutting systems such as Colex, Bullmer, Eastman Cuts and many more.

The nesting module has been extended with some innovative functionalities. Intelligent transfer of the print run can shorten RIP times and stabilise the entire workflow. In addition, the nesting of large motifs has been optimised, making even more efficient and economical use of substrates.
