Automate your workflow to boost your productivity!

With the increasing number of jobs that businesses manage every day, it can be easy to get overwhelmed. With Konica Minolta’s technological expertise and experience, you won’t be.

Deliver the quality you need


We offer world-class workflow management solutions and workflow automation software to help you control and handle all incoming print jobs.

Workflow management systems help you define different workflows for different types of jobs or processes. In a print company, for example, a designed document might be automatically routed from the designer to an account handler and then to the prepress department.


Remind me again: what is a ‘workflow management system’?

Workflow management systems automate redundant tasks, and ensure uncompleted tasks are highlighted and followed up. They also control automated processes put in place to make administrative tasks like order processing redundant. The workflow reflects the dependencies required to complete each specific task.


Workflow automation can improve the quality of your output by reducing manual handling and human error, as well as speeding up turnaround times, so you can produce more work and increase revenue. After installing a workflow management system, you’ll wonder how you ever did without it.


Why is workflow so important?

Workflow is critical to success in the print business today because it can unify the different print technologies – such as offset, digital cut sheet, roll-fed and wide format devices – all of which require unique workflow processes for file preparation, print production and finishing. A print workflow consists of a sequence of connected steps having a work element that relates to machinery, the efforts of an individual, or a group of staff like account executives or press operators. The flow element refers to a print job that is being transferred from one step to another in the end-to-end manufacturing process.


Workflow animation

Animated workflow guidance is also available for certain features and troubleshooting tasks. This provides more visual direction of operating tasks and troubleshooting help for procedures such as paper jams and toner replacements.


An integrated workflow can prevent bottlenecks and utilise production capacity more efficiently. For print providers, improving workflow is the best way to focus attention and money and drive better business returns. It cuts costs by automating processes and reducing the number of human touches involved in those processes. Every time someone touches a product, it potentially costs time and money – but workflow management will free up your staff from time-consuming and error-prone routine tasks.

The only workflow platform you’ll need

For maximum efficiency and competitiveness, large and mid-size printing companies – and similarly, enterprises that print their communication digitally in-house – need to integrate their printing infrastructure and automate workflows wherever possible. By opting for Konica Minolta’s workflow platform systems AccurioPro Flux and AccurioPro Connect, print providers and in-house print room operators can automate prepress data processing by connecting and automating a range of prepress processes. 


Digitisation has made this possible, as well as enabling seamless integration of offset equipment with digital printing systems. The enhanced efficiency of previously time-consuming prepress data processing brings dramatic productivity increases. Digitisation also supports automation, improves workflow efficiency, and facilitates waste reduction – all essential for healthy profitability.


Efficiency and flexibility with high-speed colour production printers

Lightning fast speeds, simple operation and powerful in-line finishing: our high-speed digital presses raise the bar in digital productivity by saving time and labour costs, as well as space on your production floor.


High productivity to enhance print profitability

The Accurio range of digital systems is designed to meet the growing needs of new generation digital challenges. Meticulously engineered for print providers and professionals, these systems offer outstanding colour reproduction and registration stability as well as being able to create digitalised files from hard copies, efficiently and reliably.


Create the reusable content you need

Do many of your regular print jobs, such as manuals, consist of various PDF files from different sources, such as cover, instructions, warranty, and a contact page? And does their content tend to change frequently, when products are relaunched or regulations change, for example? Updating such complex information is usually complicated and time-consuming.


This is where AccurioPro Compile can help, letting you create print projects that can be used again and again, even when the content changes. These print projects are linked to the source documents filed in different network locations so that only the latest file version is ever retrieved and used. As a result, several authors working on the same print project can maintain their contents independently, and only up-to-date documents are printed – without any manual intervention whatsoever.
