  2. Summary • Closed Loop CTP Plate Production • Extended Closed Loop across ANL • Integration Blueprinting

  3. A Definition of Closed Loop A closed loop process is one that dynamically feeds information back into itself in order to optimize the process as it is running.

  4. AGFA’s CTP Closed Loop Solution • Collects, stores and reports on process data. • Dynamic feedback to effect corrective actions that keep the system optimized. • Alerts on system performance / instabilities including recommendations for corrective action.

  5. Variables • Exposure - CTP power settings vs actual exposure energy at plate). • Processing Speeds - Brush roller speeds. • Chemical Conditions – Chemical levels, replenishment frequency, conductivity level. • Temperatures – Bath, pre-heat. • Plate Batch Sensitivity – Shifts due to storage conditions, transport handling etc.

  6. Benefits • Reduced plate performance issues • Problem prevention rather than cure • Tracking / Troubleshooting assistance • Quality improvement / consistency • Reduced waste (time and consumables) • Product quality verification / audit
