A Smooth Path to Peak Performance with Durst

As a leading manufacturer in digital inkjet, Durst is consistently striving to develop solutions that help its customers achieve peak performance. Peak performance means not only peak quality but peak productivity in terms of printing speed, flexibility in handling, stability of the system, reliability, unattended printing and operating, and streamlined processes. But how do you plot a smooth path to peak performance? Durst’s ‘Pixel to Output’ strategy has expanded the scope even further, focusing on peak performance within customer business and helping businesses to automate production, digitise and automate end-to-end processes and create an optimal print buying experience.

What are the leading challenges for peak performance? For one, mastering digitalisation is a common concern; unproductive processes such as the use of paper tickets and job bags that are costly to assemble and hard to circulate, or error-prone and time-consuming manual data entry. Streamlining and optimising processes with digitalisation must be a priority, enabling operators to work as effectively as possible and reducing complexity to allow the print company to focus on their core competence and core business.

Profitability and differentiation in consolidating markets is also a challenge, as businesses remain plagued by unproductive processes that make it difficult to grow by reacting quickly to market needs and finding new customers in a competitive environment. The Smart Factory approach from Durst is about providing a holistic product portfolio with accompanying service design for 360° business solutions, offering not just the printing systems themselves but e-commerce, PDF workflow, ERP, analytics, consulting, integration services, and training. What does the Smart Factory approach mean?

·      Production line automation to push productivity  

·      End-to-end digitized and automated processes for efficient and error-free production  

·      Exceptional customer experience to drive sales – which can be a big differentiator

·      Analytics for complete transparency based on relevant data to be in control of your business

Smooth path for customers to grow with a scaling solution from start-up to enterprise - wherever you are on the path we will help to go the way  

How has this approach been helping customers? As well as enabling customers to react swiftly to market changes and trends, it boosts efficiency throughout the entire value chain, with automated processes that mean no manual touchpoints are present from order intake through automated data preparation and imposition to the printing process itself. On top of this, it facilitates stronger customer and print buying experiences.
