JDF/PECOM Features and Applications

What is JDF/PECOM?

PECOM is a data network management system that links all production processes;
The Job Definition Format, or JDF, is a comprehensive data storage model with an extremely large data structure. It is applicable to different applications and systems and is regarded as a technical product that represents the face of the 21st century.

CIP4 is an organization that integrates manufacturers, consultants and users in the printing industry and related industries. Members always focus on development and research, and JDF can be applied throughout the entire work flow from development to finished product shipment.

With MAN Roland's award-winning management system - PECOM and a JDF file, each print setup can be adjusted without errors and real-time production information is provided. In PrintCity at the DRUPA2004 exhibition, Manroland demonstrated how PECOM systems can achieve the most superior printing results through a JDF file.

What can it do?

Through the operation of PECOM, the printing operator can control all production processes through the center console, including printing units, feeders and feeders, register settings, ink control, coating units and dryers. In each production process, relevant data can be transmitted stably and reliably;

The modular system structure can meet the future development of interface standards, such as CIP4, JDF;
A JDF workflow can integrate media, design, prepress, printing, and processing; while a child JDF file has the ability to automatically update data, allowing operators or systems to inject new ones into the printing process. data.

What benefits can the customer bring?

With these systems, customers can improve the automation capabilities of the entire plant, which can reduce costs, and the overall operation will also become more economical;

Individual production processes can be completed faster and the number of operators required can be reduced;

Can reduce the time required to change printing operations and overall operations;

School machines can be completed more quickly. At the same time, opportunities for error and waste of resources can be reduced.

It is easier and more effective to manage the production process and make it easier for customers to find out certain types of jobs or jobs that are seriously wasting resources, so as to lock in business opportunities that can make money;

As the control of production capacity is greatly increased, the occurrence of delays is reduced.
