Agfa releases new version of arkitex for newspaper

A tighter integration with press management systems for just-in-time plate delivery is one of the key features along with multitenant capabilities. Arkitex Production 4.0 supports multiple tenants on a single server, enabling them to access and benefit from the same software modules (such as RIPs, imposition, ink presets).

Each tenant has its own users and permissions, plate layouts, products, and can only see their publications and templates. This becomes important in view of both local centralisation and cloud workflow solutions where multiple sites can share hardware and resources while maintaining data security and workflow control.

Demonstrations included the Novoflex II flexographic press highlighting the new Ruby IoT system for analysing production data to optimise processes and the newly redesigned Heliostar II gravure printing press.

In India, Agfa Arkitex is managed by TechNova.
