Significans Automation, a sponsor of this year’s AI Pavilion at PRINTING United, will be showcasing the revolutionary power of AI in combination with highly customized workflow automation. In customer-led ‘fireside chat’ panel discussions Wednesday, September 23 and Thursday, September 24, moderated by Significans President Marc Raad, clients will share their personal automation odysseys – journeys of discovery that have transformed their printing operations.

The Automation Odyssey: Lessons from real deployments
The presentation, titled “The Automation Odyssey: Lessons from Real Deployments” will include an Enterprise Systems Architect and three successful print executives now using AI and automation from Significans in their operations. Attendees will discover how they approached their workflow problems, what was implemented, why they adopted the technology, the problem-solving strategies used, and the unprecedented results.

Hear firsthand from these industry leaders about adopting bold new AI workflow initiatives. Attendees will get a clearer perspective of the enormous value of AI in combination with customized workflow automation, while also exploring AI’s future possibilities. Audience members will leave with practical, actionable ideas they can apply in their own businesses. After each session, attendees can follow the panel to ‘The Loop’ area for further discussion and exploration. Wed., Sept.23 will feature a Workflow Automation Clinic and Thurs., Sept. 24 will follow up with a Workflow Clinic Part 2: “The Workflow Problems we did not Solve Yesterday.” Both will include Q&A sessions.

“The printing industry has attracted some truly amazing AI-based workflow systems over the years,” says Marc Raad, President of Significans Automation. “However, these disparate systems often exist as silos of automation in a print or packaging business that never speak to each other – and have not been programmed to connect seamlessly out of the box. As a specialist integrator, I can tell you that most printers have not yet realized the full potential of combining AI with highly customized workflow automation. At this year’s Printing United AI Pavilion, we’ll demonstrate in detail how our clients are using AI and customized workflow automation software to radically transform their businesses in ways never thought possible before.

“AI is only as good as the data foundation underpinning it,” says Sean Davis, VP of Technology for Significans Automation. “Print companies must maintain total control and access to their own data to benefit from Artificial Intelligence. AI applications used by Significans’ customers today are deployed in prepress, production, finishing, planning, estimating, shop-floor analytics, and other critical areas. Overall, we view AI as a supportive tool that enhances automation – but it also requires ongoing human oversight. Therefore, AI must be implemented responsibly with boundaries, sovereignty, and complete IP protections.”
