Fujifilm’s Workflow XMF has been awarded Japan's 'Good Design Award' 2012.
XMF was originally released to worldwide markets in 2007, and now has over 3,500 installations worldwide. The solution now consists of ‘XMF Workflow’ (for managing print production) and ‘XMF Remote’ (the web-based system for remote job submission and approval), with the system being configurable to meet a wide range of requirements.
One of the judges commented: "The objective of this workflow system is to streamline the print process. The major reason for winning the award is its system and user interface, designed for efficient operation by various types of users involved, such as clients who order print jobs, designers who create materials, and operators in printing company, etc. Its simple and functional user interface design is a good example of the industrial user interface of the future."
