Hi All,
I am looking at implementing / integrating JDF/JMF workflow automation and would appreciate any / all comments from those who are interested in this topic.
Current scenario:
Prepress = Kodak Prinergy 5.1 with Preps 5; RBA
MIS = Shuttleworth-MIS
Manual job cards printed on evelopes etc etc
Offset sheetfed and web, post press = PUR & saddlestitch binders
Initially I want to link the MIS and Kodak systems so that JDF can 'create' the job in Prinergy and automate that end.
Our goal / vision for this initial stage is to go from order to plate without any manual intervention.
Future scenario:
Automated workflow using JDF/JMF to monitor work through the factory through to completion.
Has anyone got this working / right? If so, how did you do it?
C'mon brag to us all?
Any views?
Regards

- In your opinion, is this possible?
- What were your experiences?
- Where were the hiccups / frustrations when implementing etc?
