Goss joins CIP4

Mar 8, 2005 4:05 PM

According to Goss Intl. (Bolingbrook, IL), its 2005 membership in the CIP4 organization marks another step in its longstanding commitment to streamlined data exchange and open systems.

“We have always been an innovator in digital workflow technologies that support our commercial web and newspaper customers,” explains Volker Rendl, director of workflow R&D for Goss Intl. “CIP4 membership formally acknowledges that our advanced JDF-based solutions deliver optimum versatility and compatibility.”

Goss International has successfully integrated CIP4/JDF applications across its range of commercial and newspaper presses, and is now moving to place CIP4/JDF-compatible interfaces on existing double-width newspaper products that utilize Goss consoles and servers. This will include not only new presses and tower additions, but also legacy systems that have been upgraded, including Metro/Metroliner, Headliner and Colorliner presses.

Rendl says Goss Web Center software is a perfect example of how Goss technologies fit well into the CIP4 philosophy: “JDF is commonly described as the digital equivalent of a job bag, allowing anyone involved to access all details of a job. Goss Web Center technology is open to any existing JDF based management systems, while at the same time providing the most advanced workflow and control package in the industry. It is completely modular and flexible for varied requirements, and components cover the entire production chain from presetting to job reporting.”

Goss Web Center software is available with an open interface to management information systems.
