Crawford Technologies Streamlines Inkjet Onboarding at thINK Ahead

Crawford Technologies will showcase its award-winning solutions at thINK Ahead 2024, held July 17-19 in Boca Raton, Florida. Celebrating its tenth year, thINK Ahead is a collaborative and connected group of Canon Solutions America production print customers, solution partners and print industry experts at the forefront of inkjet technology. As a founding partner of the event, Crawford Technologies has participated in thINK Ahead every year, demonstrating its award-winning cloud, SaaS and server-based workflow and output management solutions that fully integrate with Canon Solutions America’s products to make the workflow of shared customers more efficient, manageable and cost effective.

At the event, Crawford Technologies will demonstrate SmartSetup v2.0 with AutoSense that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to simplify the task of indexing and extracting data from print files. SmartSetup is a no-code software solution designed to fully automate the time-consuming task of indexing, so users can perform indexing with the push of a button and quickly verify that it is done correctly. In the past, developers would need to write scripts or programs to accomplish these functions. Eliminating these tasks reduces the cost and time needed by over 90%, resulting in significant savings.

Crawford Technologies will also be demonstrating:
  • PRO Conductor: Designed to automate and drive the efficiency of any production workflow, PRO Conductor is modular with options that can be customized to fit any production environment. With PRO Conductor, an organization can greatly reduce the number of unique workflows, simplifying operations and maintenance efforts.
  • PRO DocNow: This fully automated SaaS solution gives both print service providers and enterprises document transformation and re-engineering capabilities, such as adding barcodes, removing OMR marks, creating MRDF files and much more.
  • PDF Accelerator: A solution that streamlines and optimizes PDFs for print, PDF Accelerator enables considerably faster processing, reduced pre-press processing job time and decreased onboarding time.
  • AccessibilityNow® Translate: Crawford Technologies’ automated language translation solution performs the translating of document content into more than 120 languages while retaining proper document formatting. This eliminates translation delays and significantly reduces costs.
  • eDeliveryNow®: A comprehensive omnichannel platform designed to help businesses streamline their electronic customer communications management processes and enterprise communications processing (ECP) to deliver personalized, accessible and compliant digital communications across multiple digital channels.
“We congratulate Canon on celebrating a decade of innovation and collaboration at thINK Ahead 2024,” said Ernie Crawford, president and CEO of Crawford Technologies. “We look forward to sharing with attendees how our innovative solutions have helped Canon customers streamline their operations to increase their throughput and achieve cost savings.”
