Toronto, ON – Crawford Technologies, a leading provider of innovative document solutions that streamline, improve and manage customer communications, will showcase its award-winning solutions at thINK Ahead 2024, held July 17-19 in Boca Raton, Florida. Celebrating its tenth year, thINK Ahead is a collaborative and connected group of Canon Solutions America production print customers, solution partners and print industry experts at the forefront of inkjet technology. As a founding partner of the event, Crawford Technologies has participated in thINK Ahead every year, demonstrating its award-winning cloud, SaaS and server-based workflow and output management solutions that fully integrate with Canon Solutions America’s products to make the workflow of shared customers more efficient, manageable and cost effective.

At the event, Crawford Technologies will demonstrate SmartSetup v2.0 with AutoSense that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to simplify the task of indexing and extracting data from print files. SmartSetup is a no-code software solution designed to fully automate the time-consuming task of indexing, so users can perform indexing with the push of a button and quickly verify that it is done correctly. In the past, developers would need to write scripts or programs to accomplish these functions. Eliminating these tasks reduces the cost and time needed by over 90%, resulting in significant savings.

Crawford Technologies will also be demonstrating:
