Ipex 2010 exhibition preparations begin
IIR Exhibitions has met with the Ipex Advisory Committee (IAC) to discuss new ideas for the next Ipex exhibition, which will be held from May 18 - May 25 2010.
The 250 square metre Process Automation and JDF Pavilion will be prominently positioned in Hall 20 just a few steps away from an Ipex main entrance.
Given the market forces and trends in the industry, process automation is expected to be one of the priorities for printers and graphic arts companies in 2006.

Product zones make time at Ipex more profitable
Ipex 2006's new product zones and pavilions will make it easier for visitors to find the products they want, according to show organiser IIR Exhibitions.
There are more and more examples of what printers and graphic arts companies have been able to do with JDF-based process automation and the return on investment is compelling.
At the Process Automation and JDF Pavilion we will provide information on what is and can be done with JDF today, in the real world." The Process Automation and JDF Pavilion will feature demonstrations of inter-operability and data flow between systems of different vendors that will feature software and systems available for purchase by Ipex visitors.
There will also be a theatre area that will feature user case study presentations to be held throughout Ipex, including CIPPI (CIP4 International Print Production Innovation) award winning case studies.
Martin Bailey of Global Graphics and the CIP4 chief executive officer, commented: "JDF technology isn't tentative or experimental any longer.
It's stable, tested and proven and Ipex affords CIP4 members the opportunity to deliver the proof by demonstrating implementation examples.
And Dr Rainer Prosi of Heidelberg and CIP4's technical officer since 2004, added: "JDF has been extended to include features that support a broader range of print production workflows beyond commercial sheet fed and digital printing, including web offset, newspaper production and aspects of packaging.
I think Ipex attendees will also get to see more JDF-enabled process automation systems, covering a broader set of printing segments, than ever before." The Process Automation and JDF Pavilion will provide a place where attendees can also get a clear picture of process automation systems available at Ipex and will serve as a hub for many attendees looking for process automation tools and devices throughout the many Ipex halls.
The MIS, JDF and Software Trail will indicate which exhibitors are showing JDF-enabled process automation products and systems so that Process Automation and JDF Pavilion visitors can take what they've learned at the pavilion and follow through as they visit the 794 exhibiting companies already registered to exhibit at Ipex 2006.
Ipex, the largest printing and graphics arts exhibition in the English-speaking world, takes place from April 4-11 2006 at the NEC, Birmingham (UK).
