Through the JDF Connector, Logic MIS software is claimed to enable seamless bi-directional communication between various industry software, enabling automated machine set-up and shop floor data retrieval that will increase productivity and the cost-effectiveness of print shop management.
The company said it is currently working with Komori, MAN Roland and other leading vendors to test and finalise Logic connectivity.

"The goal of computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) is to close costly gaps between individual steps of the printing process", said JD Bagnell, EFI's product manager for integration.
"The JDF connectors are a vital component of true CIM where information is shared, in real-time, between production and management processes enabling more accurate, effective and profitable process development and control.
These efforts demonstrate the success of the JDF specification and the ICS efforts within CIP4.
JDF is ready to use today." EFI claimed that Logic combines end-to-end integration of the print production process with a powerful set of data collection tools, designed for printing operations with a mix of web, sheetfed and specialty processes.
Its applications cover every business function, from estimating to billing, order entry to shipping, purchasing, inventory control, finished goods and accounting.
