Esko has released version 23.11 of its software, designed specifically to improve the efficiency of packaging production while offering businesses even more opportunity to contribute towards a sustainable future.
Released today (31 October, 2023), the latest version is said to underline the company’s commitment to developing products that help accelerate the go-to-market of perfectly packaged goods, ‘empowering businesses to connect systems and workflows, automate processes, and accelerate innovation.’
Specific features and functions of v23.11 include:
- Safe plate output in Automation Engine, allowing for faster quality control, and new labels and warnings for classic workflow tasks;
- Even stronger Automation Engine integration with Share & Approve, the Cloud native service that enables users to connect their pre-press to customers and stakeholders from their artwork editor applications;
- Greater efficiency with Cape Pack pallet optimisation for folding cartons and easy sharing with Share & Approve;
- New tools in ArtiosCAD to automatically recognise copy-free areas of designs when folded in 3D, and predefined folders to promote consistency and reduce errors; and
- Further improvements to pre-press task automation in ArtPro+, making processing ‘faster, simpler and safer’, plus additional new features such as including non-active fonts when recognising text.
Jan De Roeck, director of marketing, industry relations and strategy at Esko, said, ‘The industry is having to fundamentally change how it operates in order to meet the dual demands of sustainability and digitalisation. With this latest release, we are delivering on our promise of developing technology that enables customers to boost efficiency, reduce costs, minimise the risk of errors and improve their overall productivity, empowering them to overcome the challenges they face today, and preparing them for those they will face in the future.’
