Orders, production, equipment
— one connected chain
Customers order online, machines print by electronic job ticket.
Three self-developed layers: ordering (web / mini-program / PunchOut), production ERP, and device control. Already serving 11,000+ printing industry clients.
One job, from web to machine
Every block is a self-developed system. Each block's output is the next block's input.
Three tiers, deliverable separately
Each tier is independent, deliverable individually.
Your customers can place orders on their own
Online configuration, quoting, payment, invoicing, and file review — all self-service. Web, mini-program, and PunchOut share one dataset.
One order broken into executable steps
Intelligent scheduling by capacity and deadline, covering prepress, in-press, post-press and QC.
Job tickets go straight into the machine
Job tickets become device commands, including color, layout and consumable parameters.
Products used in this chain
| Product | Stage | Role in this chain |
|---|---|---|
| Ordering System ↗ | Manage | Client entry: print e-commerce site and mobile version, BOM quoting, online payment, invoicing, smart CS preflight. |
| Printing ERP ↗ | Produce | Scheduling, materials, warehouse, finance, HR and prepress automation — break orders into executable steps. Multi-channel orders auto-parsed into production. |
| PrePress Center ↗ | Design | Online prepress: file preflight, imposition, color management and output standardization — unified rules across factories. |
| DFE Digital Front End | Produce | Built-in form, co-developed with equipment manufacturers: job queue, RIP output, color and media, equipment and consumable monitoring. |
| AutoPrintBot | Produce | External form, connects devices via JDF / JMF / IPP standard protocols; multiple units form a print array for cluster management. |

Do we have to deploy everything, or can we start with one layer?
You can deploy layer by layer. The three layers are independent yet integrated: start with the ordering system, add ERP for scheduling, then connect equipment. Existing systems integrate via standard API.
What file formats does prepress automation support?
Supports PDF, AI, EPS, TIFF and other common prepress formats, with PDF as the primary processing format — the system auto-detects and converts. Built-in rule templates for single pages, booklets, packaging and more, with custom rule support.
Should we choose DFE or AutoPrintBot?
Two forms of the same core. If you can work with the equipment manufacturer, go DFE — built into the machine, managing RIP, color, media and consumables end to end. If collaboration isn't feasible, go AutoPrintBot — installed outside the machine, connecting via JDF / JMF / IPP standard protocols, running without manufacturer involvement. Both can coexist in the same factory.See full comparison →
Can it integrate with our existing ERP or e-commerce channels?
Yes. Order sources support integration with e-commerce, mini-programs and other channels — auto-parsed and preflighted before entering production. Prepress and ERP connect via standard API, with orders automatically triggering preflight and imposition. Existing systems can also connect just one layer.
