Automation only delivers value when it fits the reality of your production environment.
For Gilson Graphics, that meant more than simply installing new software. It meant integrating intelligent planning into an already sophisticated production ecosystem – without disrupting performance, quality, or workflow continuity.
That’s where Enfocus Phoenix, implemented by Significans Automation, made the difference.
Connecting Planning to Production
Gilson Graphics integrated Phoenix directly into their existing automation stack, connecting it with Esko Automation Engine and their ERP system to streamline planning and preparation processes.
As Tony Maravolo, Director of Operations, Oak Facility, explained:
“Phoenix has a wide range of capabilities, is user friendly, and with its versatile API, it can be connected to our Esko Automation Engine and our ERP to automatically impose and prepare print work. Significans Automation’s deep understanding of both print and software inspires confidence, and they have repeatedly demonstrated the expertise required to design, automate and execute the most complex tasks.”
This connectivity allowed Phoenix to move beyond standalone imposition and become part of a fully orchestrated production environment.
The result:
- Automated imposition and preparation workflows
- Reduced manual setup time
- Improved scheduling efficiency
- Smarter handling of complex job combinations
Instead of relying on manual intervention and fragmented systems, planning became data-driven and seamlessly connected across departments.
Implementation That Builds Confidence
Powerful software is only as effective as the way it is deployed.
Gilson Graphics highlighted not only the technology, but the role Significans Automation played in ensuring the integration strengthened – rather than disrupted -their operations.
Tony added:
“Their deep understanding of both print and software inspires confidence, and they have repeatedly demonstrated the expertise required to design, automate and execute the most complex tasks.”
That confidence is critical.
Automation projects often fail when software is forced into workflows without understanding production realities. At Gilson, Phoenix was tailored to fit their environment – enhancing both automated and non-automated workflows while preserving operational stability.
Smarter Planning. Stronger Performance.
By embedding Phoenix into their automation ecosystem, Gilson Graphics achieved:
- Faster job setup
- More consistent planning accuracy
- Reduced dependency on manual imposition expertise
- Greater visibility across systems
- Improved operational scalability
This is what modern automation looks like – connected, intelligent, and aligned with real production demands.
