Global Vision and Enfocus announced
that Global Vision has joined the Enfocus Crossroads programme as a Technology
Partner. The partnership kick-off is marked by the introduction of the Global
Vision BarProof PDF barcode verification module, an off-the-shelf tool that
smoothly integrates with the Enfocus Switch workflow automation solution.
"Global Vision is a renowned
provider of industry leading prepress quality control tools for artwork, text,
Braille and barcodes. We're very pleased to welcome them as a complementary
technology partner. With the launch of the BarProof configurator, we will be
able to offer significant time savings to Enfocus Switch users when it comes to
barcode verification in prepress workflows." says Angelo Manno, Global
Accounts Manager Partners & OEM, Enfocus.
Global Vision provides automated
quality control solutions designed for prepress and printers to verify artwork,
barcodes, Braille and text to ensure accuracy of components within packaging
artwork. BarProof is the industry's first barcode verification module that automatically
locates, decodes & grades barcodes in PDF files to provide detailed reports
on barcode quality, including bar width reduction and magnification values.
Enfocus Switch is a modular and
open software solution that is built to give organizations of all sizes a
seamless way to manage the documents they need to support their business.
Switch easily integrates with an organization’s existing systems and connects the
third-party applications they use to create, produce, and share documents. Once
connected, Switch becomes the glue that seamlessly pulls these applications
together into a customized production workflow. No matter who creates the
document, what format it is in, or how it will be output, the workflow
connected by Switch ensures users can process it in less time, with less effort
and at less cost.
"With thousands of artwork
files to be processed each day, time savings is of the essence for prepress and
printers,” explained Reuben Malz, President, Global Vision. “With the BarProof
configurator for Enfocus Switch, we are providing further automation
capabilities to Enfocus Switch users to verify barcodes within PDF files and
proofs as part of their prepress quality control while reducing overall
inspection times."
Crossroads is a tight-knit
network of Enfocus Switch users and vendors. Switch easily integrates and then
automates functionalities derived from applications like Global Vision's
BarProof. A visual flow editor assists users in easily creating automated workflows
from scratch or import predesigned flows from the Enfocus Crossroads community
website.
Global Vision will be releasing
future configurators for other applications including ArtProof, the first
Mac-based artwork inspection solution, to automate artwork inspection for
prepress PDF files including booklets.
Global Vision and Enfocus will be
showcasing the new BarProof configurator at Graph Expo 2014 in Chicago, IL
September 28 - October 1, 2014.
