New in iPC 3.3

iPC 3.3 comes with exciting new features

iPC 3.3 introduces new workflow enhancements that further simplify job preparation and improve efficiency from file selection to production. The latest updates focus on reducing manual steps, improving file handling, and supporting more automated production workflows.

• Revised layout workflow
• PDF metadata workflow
• Designed for efficient production

Designed for efficient production

With iPC 3.3, Kongsberg continues to enhance software workflows that support efficient, reliable production. By reducing manual intervention and simplifying file handling, iPC helps operators move faster from design to cutting.

PDF metadata workflow

iPC 3.3 expands support for PDF metadata, enabling a more efficient and consistent workflow from design to production.

With new functionality in the Kongsberg ai-cut plug-in, metadata can be generated directly in Adobe Illustrator and passed through to iPC. This includes information such as flute direction, preview images, and QR code locations.

Production files are then prepared automatically in iPC, without the need for manual editing. Operators can also define the number of copies during output, further automating job preparation.

Key benefits

• Expanded PDF metadata support
• New ai-cut plugin features for design software
• Automatic transfer of production-critical data
• Reduced manual preparation steps and improved consistency

Revised layout workflow

The updated layout workflow in iPC 3.3 makes it easier to browse, select, and prepare files for production, particularly for unprinted cutting applications.

A new file explorer has been added, allowing operators to browse through local and network file locations directly within iPC. Jobs can be previewed and dragged directly into the layout, enabling a simple drag-and-drop workflow from file selection to production.

This streamlined process reduces job setup time and makes it easier for operators to prepare jobs without complex file handling.
