AIR CONVEYING CORPORATION is a recognized leader in the industry of Pneumatic Conveying Systems and has been in business since 1968. As an equipment manufacturer rather than simply a sales organization, we have complete control over the quality of material and products which make up your proposed system. Our equipment is found in Printing, Folding Carton and Corrugated plants throughout the country and the world.

Würzburg, Germany based Koenig & Bauer announced its partnership with HYBRID Software, a software solutions provider for labels and packaging, to supply an exclu- sive product for the press manufacturer’s sheetfed offset presses. Acting as a gateway, PrintFusion steers Koenig & Bauer presses with PACKZ prepress software and the CLOUD- FLOW production workflow suite.

Parallel to plate creation, all printing data is delivered to Rapida sheetfed offset presses. As PrintFusion supplies all relevant setting data in advance, users can benefit from automation through shorter setup times and greater effi- ciency between job changes. In addition, printing parameters can be stored with the job data for subsequent repeat jobs. This end-to-end packaging workflow solution allows for efficiency through an automatic retrieval of job data from connected MIS/ERP systems. Due to intelligent learning, PrintFusion helps maximize press and substrate utilization and optimize printing accu- racy. Koenig & Bauer Rapida Sheetfed Offset presses are designed to run independently with a substantially lower less risk of errors. “The strategic decision to join forces stems from a mu- tual understanding of our industry’s needs, with the pri- oritization of best-in-class standards and innovation,” said Ralf Sammeck, Chief Data Officer at Koenig & Bauer. “PrintFusion is the result of a symbiotic partnership: what is achieved together is greater than the sum of its parts.” Christopher Graf, HYBRID Software Chief Marketing Of- ficer, said they have built their partnership on mutual trust and common values. “Already today, it is much more than a traditional sup- plier-vendor relation. We have combined our people to develop an innovative solution for our customers; supply- ing a unique technology which drives productivity to new heights,” he said.
