The Future of Print - Horizon at Canon EXPO

One step closer to lights-out book production. We teamed up with Canon Inc. at Canon EXPO to show what the printing industry might look like in the future. The end-to-end book production system featured two Canon imagePRESS printers (one inline, one nearline), and allowed us to create finished books from blank paper without any human interaction. System highlights include: ◼ AGV transportation of printed materials from printer directly to finishing line ◼ Robotic arms for automated book feeding ◼ Printers connected inline with finishing systems ◼ Printers, finishing systems, and AGV/robots are managed and triggered by integrated workflow system Canon Global Website: global.canon/en/ More from Horizon: Official Website: www.horizon.co.jp/global.html LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/horizonfinishing Instagram: www.instagram.com/horizonfinishing/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/horizonfinishing #canon #horizon #printing #smartfactory #industry40 #printer #commercialprinting #printfinishing #robotics #technology
