Exhibition Theme: Connected Automation
The printing industry has undergone rapid change in recent years. The influences of social media, online advertising, rising raw materials and energy prices as well as a shortage of labor, have become critical issues. Moreover, because of spreading global environmental concerns, reducing environmental impact, decarbonization, and waste management have become urgent challenges.
To address these worldwide issues head-on, Komori will show a wide range of technology with the theme of Connected Automation.
Connected Automation is a method that enhances the automation of operations by establishing a production site that links different devices from many sources and removes barriers between processes. The core system, KP-Connect, facilitates visibility, automation, and streamlining of the production site by connecting all equipment, from MIS to prepress, press, and postpress systems. This leads to the optimization of the entire business, ultimately maximizing productivity and profitability.
To address these worldwide issues head-on, Komori will show a wide range of technology with the theme of Connected Automation.
Furthermore, Komori’s printing presses have been updated to have a low environmental impact. Through improved controls, automation of quality inspections, robot logistics, as well as energy saving and paper waste reduction technologies, Komori promotes the construction of a smart factory that features safe and environmentally friendly operations for everyone.
At drupa 2024, Komori will show for the first time a new environmentally friendly offset press and a next generation digital printing machine. See everything with your own eyes. Visitors will see a seamlessly connected smart factory utilizing Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) to link prepress and press as well as postpress that incorporates MBO folding machines and the MBO CoBo-Stack collaborative robot. Pay special attention to the linkage of equipment in the Postpress Alliance booth that embodies Komori’s open innovation concept.
Print technology will continue to evolve. Komori, with expertise in offset and digital print, postpress, and the technology to connect them all, will lead the industry with ultimate solutions that protect the precious time of printing companies and the environment while enhancing client trust. Komori, having started running to the next century, will take everyone to a new stage.
