Error-free finishing: Barcode-driven automation

Finishing errors are one of the most common — and costly — challenges in commercial print production. Manual sorting, incorrect stacking, and misrouted jobs can quickly turn profitable work into reprints and delays.

In Session 4 of the Fiery Pulse webinar series, Error-free finishing: Barcode-driven automation, we focus on how barcode technology can automate finishing workflows, reduce operator dependency, and ensure every job is completed accurately from print to delivery.

This session shows how barcode-driven automation connects printing and finishing into a single, intelligent production flow.

What you’ll learn in this webinar

During this practical session, you’ll discover how barcode automation can help you:

• Automatically route jobs to the correct finishing device
• Eliminate manual sorting and stacking errors
• Trigger finishing actions such as cutting, folding, or binding
• Track jobs through production with full visibility
• Improve consistency across shifts, operators, and job types

Using real-world production scenarios, our experts will demonstrate how barcodes act as the link between digital job data and physical finishing equipment — enabling faster throughput and predictable results.

Who should attend

This webinar is ideal for:

• Commercial printing businesses
• Prepress and production managers
• Finishing operators and workflow specialists
• Print providers handling high job volumes or short turnaround times

Whether you’re producing booklets, business cards, direct mail, or multi-part jobs, barcode-driven finishing automation helps ensure accuracy at every stage of production.

Continue the print automation journey

Session 4 builds directly on the previous steps in the Fiery Pulse automation framework:

• Session 1: Eliminate repetitive setup with hot folders and presets
• Session 2: Lay it out once, reuse forever: Automating imposition
• Session 3: Print-ready files in one click: Prepress automation that works

Together, these sessions form a step-by-step roadmap toward a fully connected, automated print production workflow.

Why barcode-driven finishing matters

Barcode automation removes guesswork from finishing. By embedding job intelligence directly into printed sheets, finishing devices can read, identify, and process jobs automatically — minimizing errors, speeding up turnaround times, and protecting margins.

If your operation is scaling volumes, running multiple devices, or struggling with finishing bottlenecks, barcode-driven automation is a critical next step.
