Case Study: Independent Can boosts productivity and quality control with Esko Automation Engine

Independent Can Racks Up Productivity and Quality Control with Esko’s Automation Engine

Independent Can, a world leader in manufacturing specialty decorative tins, faced a challenge with its inefficient prepress workflow. With shrinking time to market and increasingly complex design files, their previous Nexus platform required excessive manual control and was prone to errors. To address this, they turned to Esko for a solution using their Automation Engine workflow server.

By implementing Esko's Automation Engine, Independent Can streamlined its entire file management process. The solution automated repetitive tasks like trapping and step-and-repeat, allowing operators to work in native Adobe files. This resulted in a 25% reduction in job turnaround time, from five days to four, and a dramatic decrease in errors, with 95% now caught early. Esko's technology provided significant increases in throughput, efficiency, and quality control.
