EFI PrintFlow

Overview

EFI PrintFlow® delivers a dynamic schedule tool that closes process gaps, relieves bottlenecks, adjusts to rapidly changing conditions and optimizes the entire business operation.

Feature Highlights

  • Connects entire workflow. The EFI Print MIS Connected Workflow Strategy links every part of the print production flow chain. In doing so, solutions such as EFI PrintFlow optimize the use of equipment; increase capacity, throughput and on-time job delivery, and reduce costs and waste.
  • Identifies optimal job path. EFI PrintFlow’s automatically locates the optimal job path based on available equipment, current workload and the status of other job delivery schedules.
  • Offers real-time schedule status at a glance. The Gantt Chart shows all plant jobs in a single window and allows users to manipulate their job schedules. This feature also enables operators to create summaries, tasks, links and timelines.
  • Creates powerful what-if comparisons. The solution re-optimizes and re-synchronizes each time a proposed change is submitted and provides a new scenario with an impact analysis to see how jobs and customers are affected.
  • Finds weakest link and eliminates it. PrintFlow determines problem areas quickly, allowing users to manage production bottlenecks and control jobs more effectively.
  • Seamless integration into EFI Print MIS solutions. Since PrintFlow is an Add-On module to other EFI Print MIS solutions, it integrates into EFI Hagen, EFI Logic and EFI PSI to achieve seamless data flow across all parts of the printing operation. This capability extends users’ view of their entire business, making it easier to execute more informed decisions, streamline costs and generate greater profits.
