Maximizing efficiency without compromising quality

As the reputation of Digiflex continues to grow, with the company earning plaudits for its commitment to providing the highest quality products and services to customers, the number of jobs the business is handling has been steadily increasing.

“We have two flexo plate imaging lines in operation,” said Mr Nalli. “We also have a new Esko CDI Spark 5080 with the latest imaging software, installed in June 2019, which is the only imager of this size in the South Indian market and helping us to target large format flexible printers and supply full size plates for the corrugated market.

“We will soon be adding even more equipment for digital flexo plate processing and so wanted to automate our workflow to ensure we maximized our efficiency,” said Mr Nalli.

It is vital that we are able to continue delivering a service of the highest quality and accuracy to our customers.

The service back-up the company offers in India is also particularly good.

“Our decision to install Esko Automation Engine means we can offer our customers the same or even better standard of service on which we have built our business, while maximizing efficiency and productivity,” he said. “Not only that but Automation Engine will clearly help us to effectively avoid errors that happen in the process of handling files, achieving cost reductions by minimizing waste.”
