APR Assists NextGen Label Group With AVT integration All Printing Resources (APR), a provider of technical ex- pertise and solutions for the flexographic and packaging industry, recently partnered with NextGen Label Group to streamline the converter’s inspection and quality control workflows through automation. By integrating AVT Au- toSet with Esko Automation Engine, APR helped NextGen eliminate redundant data entry, reduce operator error, and enhance productivity across its operations. NextGen Label Group, an employee-owned converter, boasts facilities in Syracuse and Albany, New York. Next- Gen had been running AVT systems for years but saw an opportunity to automate data flow between prepress and press. APR’s team worked closely with AVT, Esko, and NextGen’s internal staff to design, coordinate, and execute a connected solution. Through APR’s guidance, NextGen implemented AVT’s AutoSet automation feature. Plus, the product allows in- spection data to be transferred directly from prepress workflows into the AVT system on-press. This eliminated manual setup steps, reduced opportunities for human er- ror, and allowed operators to focus more on quality and efficiency. NextGen reports a smoother workflow, higher opera- tor engagement with the AVT systems, and reduced setup time. This success also prompted the company to expand its use of AVT systems, now totaling six across its facilities.
