Bobst will now integrate Mouvent fully under the Bobst brand and go-to-market activities.īobst believes the future of label production will be primarily driven by inkjet developments and the growth of the "All-in-One" category the company announced in 2019. This acquisition is a commitment toward an acceleration of the digitalization of printing based on a proprietary cluster technology, delivering high quality, high speed and a low TCO. Meanwhile, Bobst's new label portfolio is being powered by digitalization. To ensure the vision is implemented effectively, in early 2021 Bobst acquired the remaining 49.9% of Mouvent AG. With oneECG in gravure for example, customers can reduce ink consumption, leftovers and material waste by up to 50%.īobst is currently working on additional developments, including further enhancements to the HMI dedicated to oneECG and additional automatic inline processes and new certifications and patents dedicated to this project. ECG refers to a set of process inks – typically seven – to achieve a specific combination a color gamut larger than the traditional CMYK, ensuring color repeatability irrespective of the color operator’s skill.Īccording to Bobst, oneECG not only brings efficiency and productivity but it allows customers to produce in a more sustainable way. Plus, Bobst, the company's extended color gamut technology, is deployed across analog and digital printing presses for label, flexible packaging, folding carton and corrugated board. Operators can also track OEE by job, shift, and time period while understanding the root cause behind common losses in availability, performance and quality. The Bobst Connect platform will also include predictive and maintenance management solutions.īobst also highlighted the myBOBST service, which uses digital technologies to help brands stay connected when unexpected events or special challenges arise. By linking up every single step of the process, Bobst Connect heightens efficiency, control, and data knowledge. Bobst Connect is a link between Bobst production equipment and the digital eco-system (including third-party software), designed to enhance efficiency, accuracy, performance and ultimately – profitability.īobst Connect allows customers to monitor machine and production health to reduce waste and increase profitability. Machine-specific dashboards help visualize and monitor the health of the machine, and a shop-floor view indicates production status. Bobst believes that the entire packaging value chain can be connected, which has led to Bobst Connect. With Bobst Connect, the company is providing digital solutions to prepare, produce, react to, maintain, and optimize production workflow. We are on the journey with them and we can shape the future of the packaging world together.” “The solutions we provide mean converters and brand owners can cope with the shifting pressures and rapidly-changing environment that they face. “We are living through a period of profound transformation in our industry, and our approach is to embrace that transformation and provide new opportunities for our customers,” states Jean-Pascal Bobst, CEO, Bobst Group.

At a press conference on June 9, 2021, Bobst detailed its strategy for connecting the dots between Packaging 4.0 and Industry 4.0. Changing consumer behaviors and new technologies are currently disrupting the label and package printing industry, and brand owners of every size are under increasing pressure to deliver the ideal packaging blend of design, substrates and quality.īobst's strategy for the future is built on four cornerstones: connectivity, digitalization, automation and sustainability.
