cLynx

The smart roller control

Artificial intelligence in industrial applications often goes hand in hand with data-driven process optimization. In manufacturing processes in particular, quality control can lead to bottlenecks that cause costs and delivery delays.

cLynx offers a fully digitized production process that is specifically tailored to the needs of printing companies and printing cylinder manufacturers. The solution combines state-of-the-art software and hardware technologies to precisely scan and evaluate printing cylinders and prepress data. By automatically detecting and classifying errors and deviations, cLynx ensures maximum reliability and quality. The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning enables continuous improvement and adaptation to new challenges.

The cLynx technology revolutionizes prepress through precise error detection, automation and continuous improvement. Printing companies and printing cylinder manufacturers benefit enormously from the advantages offered by cLynx. cLynx is aimed at print shops, prepress departments and brand owners who strive for the highest quality and efficiency. In addition, cLynx is ideal for sectors such as the steel industry and mechanical engineering that require surface inspection of rotating parts.

Digital

Our intelligent quality control software detects possible deviations during the pre-press stage. Maximum transparency, integration into planning tools and the highest data security requirements.

Accurate

The high degree of automation minimizes manual interactions. The traceable documentation secures the process by providing a certificate for each cylinder.

Innovative

Highest quality requirements - even faster. The deep neural network generates knowledge from experience and is constantly learning. A real breakthrough in the inspection of digital print images.

cLynx is our answer to a digital and innovative production process.

Further cLynx specifications

cLynx.prepress

The challenge along the prepress stage is to realize even the most extraordinary designs on a mass scale. Process-specific, optimal color separations and realistic proofs are created. The intelligent software cLynx.prepress automatically compares the customer or graphic data with the reproduction file for perfect print results.

cLynx.print

The increasing demands on design and quality are offset by a decreasing tolerance for errors. cLynx.print performs a digital comparison between reproduction data and print results. Due to an extremely fine analysis it differentiates precisely between material defects, soilings and actual production faults. This guarantees an extremely high testing quality regardless of human factors.

cLynx.cylinder

When it comes to the highest material quality, our computer vision and AI-based quality control system cLynx.cylinder looks very precisely: cameras scan the surface of our rollers and automatically detect deviations by comparing it to the expected outcome. By generating knowledge from experience with the captured images, the system learns a constantly better classification. Our deep neural network achieved fully automated classification accuracy rate of nearly 99%.
