ABG Connect - finishing automation

Automate your finishing process

The ABG finishing machine turns semi-finished goods, like printed rolls, into a final product that's ready for shipping.

Depending on the exact configuration of your ABG machine, the CERM MIS will send a JDF file with the required instructions for the applicable finishings (e.g. die cutting, slitting, hot foil, varnish, camera inspection, etc.).

• SKU Labeling of goods
  
  After all job instructions have been received, the ABG machine automatically performs a setup to execute the required finishing job and optionally print and apply a closure label on each finished roll with a unique SKU identifier that links it to the printing job within the CERM MIS.

• Bidirectional JDF-JMF data exchange
  
  The ABG finishing machine uses real-time JMF messages to automatically report back on job status, operator ID, device status, waste production and counter values. All of this results in a fully automatic registration of roll material consumption and time spent on jobs.
