Automation for Large Format Printers should be:
Agnostic
No need to rely on vendor-specific workflows. An open and agnostic solution connects everything.
Transparent
Providing total visibility across your entire production puts you back in control.
Agile
As you grow, your automation solution needs to be able to adapt quickly and easily.
This is True Automation. The best way to future-proof your business.
Video case study: The Bernard Group
"We have brought in a lot of automation solutions. In the end, Switch has replaced just about everything else that we're using. It allows us to automatically get files in, prepress them, impose them, and get them to our presses."
Diego Diaz, Solutions Architect, The Bernard Group

Automation needs to be agnostic
With an array of hardware and software powering your business, it's vital that your automation solution connects everything together.
Limiting your business to vendor-specific, end-to-end workflows is highly restictive and can be detrimental to the future growth of your business.
Switch is agnostic: it enables seamless integrations with software and hardware from many different vendors.

Automation needs to be transparent
So much time (and money) can be wasted when you cannot locate a job or report on the status of a job for a customer.
It is essential that you have complete visibility of your entire production workflow. Transparency, quite simply, improves efficiency.
Switch is transparent: it puts you in control of your workflow.
Switch's modular approach enables you to scale your business up (or down) when required.
"After investing in state-of-the-art machinery, we quickly had to deal with the challenge of making those machines profitable. We had to be able to handle that amount of jobs. We looked for solutions and that's how we found the people from Enfocus and it all got started."
Femke Helon, Management, 3Motion
