Zünd has received European Digital Press Association (EDP) awards for no less than three of its software tools with the PrimeCenter noted as the Best Workflow Solution. The Pick&Place Interface Option and the Visualizing Option were recognized as Best in Robotics and best Print Support Tools, respectively.
Zünd is known worldwide for its advanced, high-performance digital cutting systems. The Swiss manufacturer has also been making a name for itself with user-friendly automation software such as PrimeCenter for prepress, as well as the Visualizing Option and the Pick&Place Interface Option for digital production. The latter are two highly effective solutions for removing/unloading cut parts, offering visual support and robot integration, respectively.
PrimeCenter automation software serves as a control center for creating print and cut files and enables a highly efficient and productive prepress workflow. In a few click, users create fully nested print and cut jobs.
The Pick&Place Interface Option lets Zünd Cut Center – ZCC control a robotic device, enabling fully automated parts removal—picking, sorting, and placing at pre-defined locations.
The Visualizing Option provides visual support for parts removal. Cut parts are labeled via projection or monitor. The user is able to see, at a glance, which parts belong to which job and can apply labels for continuous Track&Trace.
Zünd has evolved into a complete solutions provider in cutting/finishing workflows and automation. Its digital cutting systems offers customers tailor-made workflow solutions for every step of digital production. In recognition of the wide-ranging benefits and exceptional price-performance ratio of these software solutions, a jury of experts from the European Digital Press Association EDP awarded them the distinction of Best in Class.
