CIP4 launches automation awards

CIP4 is to launch a worldwide awards scheme for the most innovative use of process automation.

The CIP4 International Print Production Innovation (CIPPI) awards will recognise printers, publishers and pre-press houses for achievements in three categories.

CIP4 executive director James Harvey said: "We hope that CIPPI will bring light to stories, provide some deserved recognition, and perhaps provide some inspiration for others in the industry."

Entries are being sought for the awards in the following three areas: most innovative use of process automation technology in an implementation; best cost/benefit realisation as a result of process automation implementation; and biggest improvement in efficiency and customer responsiveness as a result of process automation.

Further details and application forms are available at www.cip4.org/cippi.
