Automation Engine

The perfect automated workflow.

A new standard for prepress workflow automation

Automation Engine is Esko’s workflow server. It not only automates print production tasks but also integrates business systems, which speeds up the process, but more importantly, reduces the error rate and the need for operator intervention.

Reduce errors by 80%

Build quality into your processes and further increase quality with our unique assisted quality checks.

Increase efficiency & throughput

By standardizing your processes and offloading tasks to the automated workflow software, you significantly increase throughput.

Save time & money

Handle 40% more jobs without the need to increase your headcount.

One workflow to
feed all your presses

Automation Engine is the only workflow that automates the requirements of different printing techniques (digital, flexo, offset…).

This means that only one production file is required for combination print jobs. The job contains the parameters for the various printing processes. These are recognized within the workflow and take their own individual, predetermined path to automatically obtain the specific print settings.

Seamless integration with 3rd party systems

Automation Engine integrates seamlessly with any existing infrastructure (MIS, ERP…). Automation Engine accepts a wide range of desktop publishing formats, supporting RIPs or file servers and all industry standards such as PDF, XML, XMP, SQL queries and JDF/JMF communication.

From an entry-level version to more elaborate setups, Automation Engine is guaranteed to deliver a fast and unmatched return on investment. What’s more, the integration won’t break down when one of the systems needs an update.
