During Labelexpo, Cerm announced Screen Graphic Solutions Co., Ltd. as its new Premium Integration Partner. This partnership enhances the companies’ commitment to delivering innovative, fully integrated solutions for the label and packaging printing industry.

Cerm focuses on providing comprehensive Management Information Software (MIS) that streamlines the entire production process – from pre-production to printing, finishing, and shipping. The “Premium Integration Partner” designation identifies partners like Screen whose technology integrates seamlessly with Cerm’s MIS, creating an efficient, automated workflow that drives productivity.

Screen has been selected for this partnership due to its outstanding contributions to the label printing industry. Their EQUIOS workflow management software is a perfect match for Cerm’s MIS, enhancing the automation of label production.

“The decision was obvious,” said Peter Heyse, Cerm’s director of product management. “They are a perfect fit to become our next Premium Integration Partner.” This partnership builds on a decade of successful collaboration, starting with the installation of Screen’s Truepress LABEL L350UV press in Springfield, UK.

The integration between Cerm’s MIS and Screen’s EQUIOS facilitates a fully automated label production process. Cerm’s MIS converts customer orders into Job Definition Format (JDF) files, triggering a seamless workflow into EQUIOS. This setup minimizes operator intervention and can reduce production time by up to 74%.

Cerm said it selected Screen based on five key criteria: business automation, bi-directional data exchange, successful customer integrations, quality documentation, and excellent customer support. Screen excels in all these areas, ensuring our clients benefit from the highest standards of reliability and efficiency. “Our existing deep integration makes adopting our MIS quick and seamless, enhancing productivity across their entire workflow almost immediately. This integration doesn’t require any onsite research. It is a proven solution that is available out of the box, and that is highly appreciated by multiple customers” added Heyse.

“With Screen joining our network of Premium Integration Partners – alongside ABG, Esko, and Hybrid Software – we can now automate nearly every step of the label production process. As we continue to expand the list of Premium Integration Partners and the more we work together with Screen’s EQUIOS workflow, the more in-depth the integration between our solutions becomes, then both systems can be further streamlined with our other Premium Partners, and the result is a better final product for our shared clients,” said Sebastiaan Hermans, marketing manager at Cerm.
