Increased Automation at Woman's Hospital
Johnson decided on the AFC-566A model folder. It was installed in the hospital's offsite in-plant in March of 2014. Though the new machine took some getting used to, Johnson says he and his staff of 13 quickly found the increased speed and automation would allow them to produce jobs faster.
Particularly, the gate plate was a boon for the bindery as some gate folds had to be completed by hand previously. The new folder also brought with it a knife fold and the ability to program jobs into the machine's memory.
