Here’s an update to the label plant simulator. This one models the effect on profitability and process time of having different distributions of run-lengths among incoming jobs, and routing them either to a single flexo press workflow; or to a 2nd flexo press; or to a stand-alone digital printer with separate die-cutting; or to a hybrid system (an inkjet engine mounted onto a flexo press) into which all manufacturing operations take place in-line. If you have been following my work with the DICE(TM) printer, you will not be surprised to learn that hybrid is best!
