Hiflex Helps Drive New Digital Open Integration Solution from Muller Martini

The test configuration included Muller Martini finishing equipment and Muller’s CONNEX digital workflow system along with Hiflex’s MIS business automation systems and SoftSolutions’ FLEX-OS data integration platform. For this particular demonstration, a Muller Martini Primera E140 saddle stitcher was used. Jobs were created in Hiflex MIS and a JDF file was sent over to the E140 saddle stitcher where the JDF file was consumed and used to perform staggering, automated machine makereadies in less than 15 minutes. Average make-readies for traditional equipment are approximately 88 minutes. The full digital JDF workflow can be implemented on virtually all new and many legacy Muller Martini print finishing machines.
