Zünd at FESPA 2022 – Smart solutions help optimize production
An automated, digital print&cut workflow is essential for standardized manufacturing processes and economical production. At FESPA Global Print Expo 2022 in Berlin, Zünd exhibits solutions that help effectively automate graphics production.
There are many ways to optimize production and make it more efficient and profitable. Zünd offers automation solutions for many different scenarios. They are designed to automate and standardize the preparation of print and cut files. They support PSPs by providing tools for production monitoring and analysis and for facilitating the removal and logistics of cut parts.
The Zünd exhibit at Booth C20 in Hall 1.2 illustrates how smart production automation offers great savings potential even for smaller graphics manufacturers, for instance by eliminating the potential for errors. Attendees will be introduced to PrimeCenter, the control center for generating print and cut files. In live demos, Zünd will be showing how the Pick&Place interface option controls robotic devices and fully automates the removal of cut parts and their placement at pre-defined locations.
To create additional efficiencies in parts removal, job tracking, and even logistics, Zünd is also showing the Visualizing Option, another component of the Zünd Cut Center user interface and workflow software. Besides assisting the user during parts removal through projection, this option offers capabilities for labeling cut parts. Printed and affixed QR-Codes help streamline and facilitate logistics.
For anyone looking to determine what aspects of their production workflow may have potential for optimization, Zünd offers the web-based monitoring and analytics software Zünd Connect. It captures performance and availability KPIs from cutters integrated in the Zünd production workflow and uses this data to calculate Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE). Zünd Connect uncovers productivity losses and provides key performance indicators that help users further optimize their digital cutting operations.
Attendees are invited to request personal live demonstrations of any of these workflow solutions directly from Zünd personnel at the booth.

The importance of ink for large format printers
Ink is crucial for large format inkjet printers, influencing substrate compatibility, productivity, and cost. Nessan Cleary discusses the three main types which include UV-curable ink, latex ink and eco-solvent ink. Each ink type has specific strengths and weaknesses, making printers choice dependent on budget and intended applications.
What are the benefits of Direct-To-Fabric printing?
Direct-to-fabric printing is gaining popularity for high-volume textile production, enabling on-demand, customized short runs. These printers offer ink flexibility, accommodating various fabric types like cotton and silk, though ink development focuses on faster turnaround by reducing pre- and post-processing. Compared to traditional methods, direct-to-fabric inkjet printing is a more sustainable option due to reduced water and chemical usage, and localized production.
What are the opportunities for large format providers regarding digital touch screens?
Digital touchscreens are becoming increasingly common, offering businesses opportunities to improve customer engagement and streamline operations. Nessan Cleary shares, while more expensive to implement than standard digital displays due to complex software and integration needs, touchscreens provide self-service options, multilingual support, and can reduce staffing costs in various settings like retail, transportation, and healthcare.
