! OptiScout Production & Design contains all functions of OptiScout Production and offers additional tools for design and job preparation.
|
Before the job is operated the tool head mounted camera locates the position of the register marks which were printed before on strategic positions on the material. The correction algorithm compares the current position of the register marks with the ideal position in the original job. Using these data deviations, resulting of the print process, can be compensated.
Key Features
Usability
Prepress / Design
Drawing Tools

Layout Mode
In layout mode, page layouts can be designed and provided with placeholders for text and image information.
The placeholders (Container) can be filled with data from an Excel table or with images from any folder using the serialization function.

Serialization
The OptiScout serialization is meaningful for the production of numerical orders, whereby both starting and end number and the incrementation can be defined individually. Each number can be provided with an alphanumeric prefix and/or suffix.
The input of numbers can be done manually and automatically from a CSV or EXCEL file. Apart from number sequences also arbitrary text rows (e. g. names) can be generated.
For each data record an action can be selected. Applicable actions are e. g.: Output on device, printing, exporting to the RIP
This function automates complex workflows and leads to substantial saving of time with jobs with same layout however individual contents.

Barcode Fonts
A barcode is a machine-readable representation of information. Barcodes are widely implemented into modern production workflows because they improve the speed and accuracy of computer data.
Any Windows compatible barcode font can be used. Barcodes can also be used to locate and import files.

Conclusion
OptiScout Production & Design 8 is the ideal extension for processes where job preparation and production is made using one consistent user interface. Output is realized on multifunctional flatbed plotters with customized tool heads, conventional HPGL and G-Code routers and Zünd or Wild flatbed plotters with/without milling option.
One market segment in which OptiScout has an outstanding relevance is POP industry, who want to mill outline-exactly printed material for billboards. Besides this market segment OptiScout is a precise tool for industrial usage wherever the position of work pieces has to be recognized, corrected or compensated.
Important note: Not all of the features listed here are applicable or implemented on all machines supported by OptiScout. If you want to know exactly: EUROSYSTEMS contact Changes and errors excepted.
