Nexus is Artwork Systems' comprehensive high-end workflow solution
for label and packaging environments. The purpose of Nexus is to
increase productivity in pre-production through automation of
human-intensive front-end tasks and RIP based tasks.
Nexus is a modular system and exists out of three core modules:
NexusIMPORT, NexusPROCESSOR and NexusRIP, which may or may
not run on the same hardware configuration, allowing users to configure
the system to their own needs of functionality, throughput and security.
Nexus uses JDF (and JMF) as the preferred jobticket format for
interconnectivity applications, such as audit trail reporting, with MIS
systems or other database and information systems. Nexus equally
embraces JDF driven step & repeat workflows and generates ink key
information for printing presses and cutting information (CIP3) for
guillotine cutters.
